Elite Accountability and Corruption

Larry Summers will retire from his Harvard professorship and related roles — including stepping down as co‑director of the Mossavar‑Rahmani Center and remaining on leave until the end of the academic year — and will become president emeritus and a retired professor who says he will continue research and commentary without formal responsibilities. The move follows revelations in newly released DOJ Epstein files in which Summers’ name appears repeatedly and personal email exchanges prompted Harvard to broaden an ongoing review of his and other faculty members’ ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
