In the wake of revelations that Harvard accepted over $9 million from Jeffrey Epstein before his 2008 conviction—and even allowed him frequent access and an office on campus—students and alumni responded with justified outrage. The university’s half-measures, like funneling $200,000 in unspent Epstein funds into trafficking-victim charities, felt more like reputational polishing than real reckoning. Epstein’s persistent presence within Harvard’s academic spaces—including visits from 2010 to 2018—highlighted a culture that prioritized prestige and funding over ethics. Disgusted alumni began calling out the institution’s moral failures, demanding accountability instead of quiet internal reviews.
The Epstein scandal shattered the illusion that elite institutions operate above reproach, prompting fierce criticism from inside Harvard’s own ranks. Students and faculty, who already questioned the university’s donor vetting and governance, used Epstein as emblematic of a broken system—one where donors wield undue influence and internal safeguards are reactive at best. Many alumni, alarmed by the optics and ongoing resistance to reform, lamented how “too big to fail” universities become complicit through silence—and now, through calculated distancing.
