"Harvard University officials have opened a secret disciplinary investigation into at least two students for their roles in drawing scrutiny to the relationship between the sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and the school's former president, Larry Summers, according to three people briefed on the matter. The students posted videos online showing Summers addressing students in a Harvard lecture hall about his connections to Epstein last month, and took credit for pressuring him to step away from teaching after the disclosures."
"The investigation includes an examination of whether the students - who publicly criticized Summers - violated a series of rules, including attending a class they were not enrolled in, the three people said. The students are facing potential discipline that could range from a private reprimand to being required to withdraw from the school, according to the two people. It is against Harvard's rules for students to attend classes they are not enrolled in."

The students posted videos showing Summers addressing students in a Harvard lecture hall about his connections to Epstein and credited themselves with pressuring him to step away from teaching. Investigators are examining whether the students violated rules by attending a class they were not enrolled in and by videotaping or publicizing recordings without consent. Potential penalties range from a private reprimand to required withdrawal. Complaints from at least one faculty member prompted the inquiry; an initial bullying claim was later dropped.
