January 21, 2020 by Melanie Waddell
SEC Commissioner Robert Jackson, a Democrat, said Thursday that he will depart from the agency on Feb. 14 and return to teaching at New York University School of Law, where he’s currently on faculty leave.
“Serving on the Commission has been the privilege of my lifetime,” Jackson said in his 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.”
The White House is expected to nominate Caroline Crenshaw, an attorney at the SEC, to fill Jackson’s seat this year, according to Reuters. Crenshaw currently works as an attorney in Jackson’s office. Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer has sent Crenshaw’s name to the White House as a nominee for the post, Reuters reported.
