Former Harvard
University president
Larry Summers will
step down from his roles at the Ivy League school, the latest fallout from his
association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
“I have
made the difficult decision to retire from my Harvard professorship at the end
of this academic year,” Summers said in a Feb. 25 statement.
“Free
of formal responsibility, as president emeritus and a retired professor, I look
forward in time to engaging in research, analysis, and commentary on a range of
global economic issues.”
Summers,
71, an influential economist in both academia and policymaking, served as
Treasury secretary under President Bill Clinton and director of the National
Economic Council under President Barack Obama.
He
first enrolled at Harvard as a graduate student, became a tenured economics
professor, and later served as president from 2001 to 2006.
Summers
came under investigation by the school after documents released by the U.S.
Department of Justice revealed an extensive relationship between him and
Epstein long after the latter pleaded guilty in 2008 to soliciting prostitution
from an underage girl. Summers stepped down from teaching duties last year,
although he remained a tenured professor.
A
Harvard spokesperson confirmed to The Epoch Times that the university had
accepted Summers’s resignation as co-director of the Mossavar-Rahmani Center
for Business and Government “in connection with the ongoing review by the
university of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein that were recently released by the
government.”
Summers
will retire from his other academic and faculty posts at the end of this
academic year and will remain on leave until then, the spokesperson said.
In
November 2025, the Senate unanimously passed the Epstein Files Transparency
Act, compelling the DOJ to publicly release more than 20,000 pages of files
related to Epstein, including a cache of emails between Epstein and Summers.
The messages show the two men communicated over a span of years, up to
Epstein’s arrest on sex-trafficking charges in July 2019.
Among
the messages that became public were some exchanges that appeared to show
Summers seeking romantic advice regarding a woman he described as someone who
saw him as an “economics mentor.” Epstein responded with reassurances and
suggestions for Summers’s pursuit of the woman, at one point describing himself
in a November 2018 message as his “wing man.” Flight logs also show that
Summers took at least four trips on Epstein’s private plane, including during
his tenure as Harvard president.
Summers
has not been accused of any sexual abuse in connection with Epstein, a
connection he said he regrets.
“I have
great regrets in my life,” Summers said in a statement to the Harvard Crimson
student newspaper. “As I have said before, my association with Jeffrey Epstein
was a major error of judgment.”
In
recent months, Summers has resigned
from the board of OpenAI and from other organizations he helped lead. His
tenured faculty position at Harvard was his last high-profile role.
