Epstein had his own office, phone line at Harvard even after his 2008 conviction of soliciting sex from minors

Harvard University admitted Friday that Jeffrey Epstein had his own office and phone line at the university and also made several visits there even after he was convicted in 2008 of soliciting sex from minors.

According to a new report from the university, Epstein, the disgraced financier who killed himself in jail last year while awaiting sex crimes charges, visited Harvard more than 40 times after his 2008 conviction and unveiled deep ties between him and the university, with which he had no official affiliation.

University President Lawrence Bacow said in a letter to the Harvard community that Harvard accepted $9.1 million from Epstein between 1998 and 2008 to support research and faculty activities. He also said the university donated $200,937 in unspent contributions from Epstein to organizations supporting human trafficking and sexual assault victims.

While the hallowed institution did not accept donations from Epstein after 2008, the financier was allowed to make 40 visits between 2010 and 2018 to Harvard’s Program for Evolutionary Dynamics, which Epstein helped create with a $6.5 million donation. He was also granted access to the program’s office and given his own office space.

Martin Nowak, a math and biology professor who headed the program, “permitted Epstein to have unrestricted access to Harvard offices,” even though he was aware Epstein was a registered sex offender, the report said.

Nowak also allowed Epstein to use the program’s website to promote his own website, and incorrectly told a foundation that provides grants that he had matching funds from a foundation of Epstein’s.

"He also said the university donated $200,937 in unspent contributions from Epstein to organizations supporting human trafficking and sexual assault victims"

So how much of the $200K did Tara Reade get of that to help her out from her secual assault?

Don’t they mean that he had a recruiting office on campus?

Cindy McCain - “Epstein was hiding in plain sight. We all knew about him. We all knew what he was doing, but we had no one that was – no legal aspect that would go after him. They were afraid of him. For whatever reason, they were afraid of him.”
The extent of the corruption is unbelievable.

No “official affiliation”, but he was given an office at the University? Does that seem just a bit evasive? They could have said he wasn’t on the payroll, but how does John Q Public go about getting an office at the U?

Cindy McCain knows corruption very well. She was married to John McCain, a member of the Keating Five. He got out of that deal without any punishment. Cindy McCain used her own charity medical clinic to get her illegal pain drugs Vicodin and Percocet to feed her addiction, which she claimed began over the stress from the Keating Five scandal. The DEA was tipped off, and she was confronted. The McCains initially tried to get it all swept under the carpet, but she still got off since all she had to agree to was to undergo treatment.
