Larry Summers Resigning From Harvard After Revelation of Cozy Jeffrey Epstein Relationship

"Summers will resign from his academic and faculty appointments at Harvard at the end of the academic year, relinquishing his University Professorship—Harvard's highest faculty distinction—and remaining on leave until that time, a Harvard spokesperson confirmed to The Crimson. Summers also resigned Wednesday from his role as co-director of the Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government at the Harvard Kennedy School, a position he has held since 2011."

"His announced exit comes after the release of Epstein-related files in November 2025 showed Summers asking Epstein for pointers in 2018 and 2019 on how to pursue a protege. The email exchanges came a decade after Epstein pleaded guilty to soliciting a minor. Think no response for a while probably appropriate, Summers wrote to Epstein in 2018 after forwarding him an email from the woman."
