Ex-Mayor Nutter takes fellowship at U. Chicago

Former Mayor Michael Nutter is having no trouble filling his time since leaving office.

His plate got fuller Monday, when the University of Chicago announced his appointment as a visiting fellow at the Institute of Politics.

Nutter will be on campus this spring for a weeklong series focusing on governing in urban America.

His perspective from inside City Hall will touch on topics such as how "crisis management can upend a mayoralty, the challenges of institutionalizing change after an election, and what the outcome of the 2016 presidential election will mean for America's big cities," according to a news release.

Since leaving office, Nutter has accepted a commentator role with CNN and secured a position at Columbia University as a professor of professional practice and urban policy. He also signed on to the Homeland Security Advisory Council, an unpaid federal advisory position.
