Former Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney is joining the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics effective immediately. She’ll be a professor of practice, which “is an academic appointment made to a member of a profession associated with a university and engages in professional students’ practical instruction.”
That means Cheney will be “in charge of facilitating discussions and activities in adherence to a curriculum.” She can also help with “developing lesson plans, creating coursework assessment and test structures, liaising with internal and external parties, establishing objectives and guidelines, monitoring the students’ progress, and providing assistance as needed.”
Now-Rep. Harriet Hageman demolished Cheney in the Republican primary last year. Cheney became an outspoken critic of former President Donald Trump, even participating as the Vice Chair of the January 6th Committee.
Cheney’s statement proves she hasn’t lost her delusions of grandeur:
“I am delighted to be joining the UVA Center for Politics as a Professor of Practice. 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. 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,” said Cheney. “There are many threats facing our system of government and I hope my work with the Center for Politics and the broader community at the University of Virginia will contribute to finding lasting solutions that not only preserve but strengthen our democracy.”
Professor Larry Sabato, the director of the Center for Politics, is also anti-Trump. He gushed over Cheney: “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.”
Cheney, the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, graduated from high school in Virginia so she’s not a stranger to the state.
Cheney is also not a stranger to the Center for Politics since she participated with them “in a national forum on the first anniversary of the Capitol insurrection, which is available on the Center’s YouTube channel, UVACFP.”
