After having left office in January, former Rep. Liz Cheney will join the University of Virginia as a professor of practice, the university announced. The appointment is effective immediately and will run through this year's fall semester.
"With democracy under fire in this country and elsewhere around the world, Liz Cheney serves as a model of political courage and leadership. Liz will send a compelling message to students about integrity. She’s a true profile in courage, and she was willing to pay the price for her principles — and democracy itself," the center's director, Larry Sabato, said in a statement.
Cheney said she hopes her work at the university will"contribute to finding lasting solutions that not only preserve but strengthen our democracy" at a time when"there are many threats facing our system of government," in a statement shared by the center. "Preserving our constitutional republic is the most important work of our time, and our nation’s young people will play a crucial role in this effort," Cheney said."I look forward to working with students and colleagues at the Center to advance the important work they and others at the University of Virginia are doing to improve the health of democracy here and around the world.
Her appointment is effective immediately and will run through this year's fall semester, with an option to renew for one or additional years, the Center for Politics said.
