Richard Revesz, who oversaw the Biden administration’s regulatory drive last year, has landed at the think tank he co-founded more than a decade ago.

Revesz, the former administrator of the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, is back at the Institute for Policy Integrity as its faculty director, the group announced Tuesday.

The think tank, which specializes in analyzing the costs and benefits of environmental regulations, is housed by the New York University School of Law where Revesz also resumed his faculty position.
