Report Concerning Jeffrey E. Epstein's Connections to Harvard University
HARVARD, MAY 2020
Source verified
What the document is
Harvard's own review of its relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, released May 1, 2020. It documents gifts totaling roughly 9.1 million dollars between 1998 and 2008, with the largest share directed to the Program for Evolutionary Dynamics, a visiting fellow appointment granted in 2005, and more than forty visits to that program's offices between 2010 and 2018, well after the 2008 conviction. The review drew on interviews with more than forty people and searches across more than 250,000 pages of records.
Why it is in the report
This is the university speaking about itself, in its own report, which makes it the strongest kind of source there is. Read it beside the genome engineering patent in this same library, which Harvard College holds as assignee.
