Jon Cannon is the University of Virginia's Blaine T. Phillips Distinguished Professor of Environmental Law and director of the law school’s Environmental and Land Use Law Program[1]. He will retire at the end of May 2021. [2]
Biography
Cannon holds a bachelor’s degree from Williams College given in 1967 and a law degree from the University of Pennsylvania from 1974[1].
Albemarle County Planning Commission
Cannon was the Rio District Commissioner on the Albemarle County Planning Commission from 2006 until he resigned in January 2009 to become a member of President Obama's transition team. Cannon took a leave of absence from The University for the spring 2009 semester for the same reason[3].
Environmental Protection Agency
In February 2009 the Obama administration announced that Cannon was selected to become Deputy Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, the agency's #2 post[1]. Cannon withdrew his nomination in April after his membership on the board of directors for the America's Clean Water Foundation triggered scrutiny from the EPA's Inspector General[4]. Cannon had previously served as the general counsel of the EPA from 1995 to 1998 and held other posts at EPA prior[1].
