Former FTC Commissioner Rebecca Slaughter Joins NYU Law
The Democratic regulator just lost her battle with President Trump in the Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON Sept. 10, 2026 – Former Federal Trade Commission Commissioner Rebecca Kelly Slaughter has joined New York University School of Law as a senior fellow at its Center for Law and Public Trust, following her high-profile legal fight with President Donald Trump over her removal from the agency.
At NYU Law, Slaughter will work with the Center for Law and Public Trust, bringing her experience in competition, consumer protection and federal regulatory policy to the school. Her move comes as the Supreme Court’s decision continues to raise questions about the independence of agencies whose leaders have historically been protected from direct presidential removal.
