Virginia’s new AG sacks lawyers at University of Virginia, George Mason

Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares (R) has fired attorneys from the University of Virginia and George Mason University, saying he “wants the university counsel to return to giving legal advice based on law.”

The University of Virginia’s Tim Heaphy, who was on leave to help lead the House’s investigation into the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, was reportedly among 30 staffers Miyares dismissed upon taking office last week, according to The Washington Post.

George Mason University’s Brian Walther was let go as well, according to Victoria LaCivita, a spokeswoman for Miyares. She added that it was common for attorneys general to appoint counsel that align with one’s “philosophy and legal approach.”
