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.
