"Major institutions of higher education in the US are reckoning with the latest release of the Epstein files after discovering the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein's relationships with board members, professors and administrators on campuses across the country. In some cases, professors have been placed under review, research centers closed or conferences canceled. Students and staff have responded in different ways, including petitions, open letters and campus forums."
"LeFrak appears in the Epstein files 15 times, according to reporting from the Barnard Bulletin. In one appearance, LeFrak asked in 2010 to join a close friend and Epstein during the holidays; in another, later that year, she invited Epstein as her guest to a trip to Rwanda, where she founded an initiative that provides occupational training and employment for female survivors of that country's genocide."
Major U.S. higher education institutions are confronting revelations linking Jeffrey Epstein to board members, professors, and administrators. Responses have included faculty reviews, closures of research centers, canceled conferences, petitions, open letters, and campus forums. At Barnard College, more than 70 faculty members demanded investigation into correspondence between Epstein and donor and trustee Francine LeFrak. LeFrak appears multiple times in the files, including invitations in 2010 and a guest trip to Rwanda. The connection is described as repugnant because some interactions occurred after Epstein's 2008 conviction, and faculty called for removal of LeFrak's name from a campus center.
