Epstein revelations spur calls to scrape Lutnick's name from college library
"Lutnick said in a 2025 podcast interview that he had cut ties with Epstein in 2005, three years before Epstein's conviction in a Florida state court. But recently released Justice Department documents indicate that Lutnick and members of his family had lunch with Epstein on a boat at Epstein's Caribbean island in 2012."
""A growing number of Fords have written to express their dismay over these revelations and have requested immediate action," Raymond wrote. "I am taking this complex issue under deep consideration. Our core values call us to act with curiosity, discernment, and integrity. This duty of care in upholding our mission and values is a constant," she added."

The intrigue: In recent days Lutnick has been in touch with Michael Kim, Haverford's board chair and a billionaire private equity executive, about the calls to remove his name. Kim has been supportive of Lutnick, according to a person familiar with the talks."
