Robert Jackson Jr., one of five commissioners at the Securities and Exchange Commission, confirmed Thursday his intention to resign from his post next month.
Jackson will leave office Feb. 14 to resume teaching at New York University School of Law. “Serving on the Commission has been the privilege of my lifetime,” Jackson said in a statement. “I will always be proud to have served alongside my fellow Commissioners, Chairman [Jay] Clayton, and especially the Commission’s staff, who dedicate their careers to protecting ordinary investors and give hardworking American families the chance to build a better future.”
