SUMMARY:Federal Trade\, the Unitary Executive\, and Authoritarian Creep
DESCRIPTION:Rebecca Slaughter\, former Federal Trade Commissioner\, was appointed in 2018 and removed by President Trump in March 2025. She challenged her termination\, citing Supreme Court precedent protecting the independence of certain federal agencies. In June 2026\, the Supreme Court ruled against Slaughter\, holding that the president has broad authority to remove leaders of independent agencies exercising executive power. Slaughter will join students\, faculty\, staff\, and alumni for an open discussion about Slaughter v. Trump and the importance of agency independence.
