Harvard Launches A New Investigation Into The Institution's Relationship With Epstein

Harvard has announced that it is launching a fresh review of its connections to Epstein after new emails and documents were released showing long -standing ties between Epstein and former Harvard president Lawrence Summers. The released materials show that Summers maintained communications with Epstein well after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for solicitation of prostitution of a minor, including advice-seeking messages and email exchanges in 2017-2019. The university’s statement says the review will look into “information concerning individuals at Harvard included in the newly released Epstein documents to evaluate what actions may be warranted.”


This comes on the heels of a previous investigation (completed circa 2020) which found that Epstein had made sizeable donations to Harvard (about $9 million between 1998–2008) and had access to Harvard campus facilities — including an office — even after his conviction. The new probe focuses not only on Summers but also on other Harvard affiliates named in the documents (including Summers’s wife, Harvard professor Elisa New). The scandal is reopening questions about how institutions handled Epstein’s donations, access and post-conviction privileges.
