Lawrence Summers to resign from Harvard following Epstein revelations
Lawrence H. Summers, Harvard University economist and former president, will step down from teaching at the end of the academic year, a Harvard spokesperson confirmed.
The move follows the release of Department of Justice documents revealing a close association between Summers and Jeffrey Epstein long after Epstein’s conviction for prostitution involving a minor. Summers, who has been on leave since November, will not return to the classroom before his departure and has also resigned as co-director of the Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government. Harvard spokesperson Jason Newton said the resignation is linked to the university’s ongoing review of the newly released Epstein-related documents.
Summers described his decision as “difficult” but expressed gratitude for the students and colleagues he has worked with over five decades at Harvard, beginning as a graduate student. As president emeritus and retired professor, he said he plans to continue contributing through research, analysis, and commentary on global economic issues.
