A federal judge is resigning his seat as an Ohio State University trustee to resolve an ethics investigation over his job teaching at the university’s law school.

An agreement with the state Ethics Commission calls for Judge Algenon Marbley to leave his seat next month and also teach law classes without pay in the spring and fall semesters.

The agreement made public Thursday resolves an investigation into whether Marbley violated state law by teaching at a university where he also serves as a trustee.
