Yale professor pulled from teaching over Epstein email mentioning ‘good-looking blonde’ student

Yale University announced that a prominent computer science professor will no longer teach classes while the university reviews his conduct. This follows the release of documents showing he emailed Jeffrey Epstein describing an undergraduate as a “good-looking blonde” while recommending her for a job.

The communication between David Gelernter, who gained national attention in 1993 after being injured by a mail bomb sent by “Unabomber” Theodore Kaczynski, and the late, disgraced financier was part of the Epstein-related documents released by the U.S. Justice Department at the end of last month. The documents reveal that Gelernter and Epstein exchanged messages on a range of topics, from business to art.
