Thomas H. Jackson

Thomas H. Jackson (born June 20, 1950) was the ninth president of the University of Rochester, preceded by Dennis O'Brien. Jackson held the position of president from 1994 until he formally stepped down on June 30, 2005 and was succeeded by Joel Seligman. Jackson's tenure was marked by the controversial "Renaissance Plan", which cut undergraduate enrollment while making admission more selective, and cut several graduate programs. He holds the position of Distinguished University Professor and has faculty appointments in the department of political science and in the William E. Simon Graduate School of Business Administration at the University of Rochester. Jackson is known as one of the nation's foremost experts on bankruptcy law.

In July 2011 Jackson was appointed Chairman of the Board of Trustees of George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film.

Jackson was vice president and provost of the University of Virginia, following his appointment as dean of the School of Law. He has also been a professor of law at Harvard Law School (1986-1988) and served at Stanford University (1977-1986).

Jackson earned his Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree from Yale Law School in 1975 and a bachelor's degree from Williams College. He clerked for United States district court judge Marvin E. Frankel and William H. Rehnquist, then an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court.
