Harvard University joined its crosstown rival MIT in belatedly acknowledging deeper-than-disclosed, extensive ties to disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.
In a letter to alumni on Friday, Harvard President Lawrence Bacow detailed an internal review of the Ivy League school's relationship with the late Epstein, concluding that the $9.1 million in gifts he gave directly came to a halt following his sex-crimes conviction in 2008. His relationship with the school continued, however, with gifts through surrogates and more that 40 visits to a program that he had given money to before his conviction for soliciting prostitution from a minor.
He even maintained until 2017 what came to be "Jeffrey's Office" on campus.
