   Thanks for this update. I knew he was some years post-retirement at MIT,   
   but didn't know about Arizona.   
      
    From Wiki:   
   -------------   
   Chomsky retired from MIT in 2002, but continued to conduct research and   
   seminars on campus as an emeritus.   
   ...   
   In 2017, Chomsky taught a short-term politics course at the University   
   of Arizona in Tucson and was later hired as a part-time professor in the   
   linguistics department there, with his duties including teaching and   
   public seminars. His salary is covered by philanthropic donations.
