After Deal


Governor Nathen Deal will take a turn as "Professor Deal," as the Board of Regents will appoint him a Regents Professor, according to the AJC. By Georgia Pundit, 1/8/19.

Deal's salary will be about $120,000 a year, said University System of Georgia Chancellor Steve Wrigley. The average tenured professor salary at UGA during the 2016-17 school year was about $126,000, according to a university web link.

"It's a wonderful opportunity for students to learn from a former governor," Wrigley said. UGA President Jere Morehead said Wednesday he's looking forward to Deal's arrival on campus, noting he's the latest prominent Georgia politician desiring to teach after leaving office. Zell Miller taught at UGA, Emory University and Young Harris College after leaving the governor's office in 1999. Former U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss is a visiting professor at UGA's law school.


Deal is also said to be opening a Lobbying Firm to work with corporations dealing with the government regulations and legislative issues.
