Botstein is a figure on this campus that has ultimate power. He is often likened to a king by faculty that can wave his wand and do whatever.

People talk about Jeffrey Epstein as though he's special or as though he's mysterious in some way. That takes away from the truth of it, which is that there are lots of people like him.

A strange part of the strange life of Jeffrey Epstein was his obsession with the genome. And with ways to "improve" that genome-including by adding more of his own genes to humanity's gene pool. Epstein, culpable for so much, was also a believer in eugenics, the manipulation of reproduction and of genes to create "better" humans.

According to the Epstein documents recently released by the Department of Justice, on April 6, 2013, three months before the public filing, Epstein emailed Sinofsky a copy of Sinofsky's own "Resignation Agreement," asking for comments. After some back and forth about the non-disparagement clause, Epstein wrote: "[SEC] disclosure will appear as if they are concerned about what you say. seems very weak. appears they are buying your silence."

Waterproof stickers resembling the terrazzo stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame are printed with Epstein's likeness below the names and titles of politicians, billionaires, arts patrons, and other figures mentioned in the recently released batch of 3 million files related to the convicted sex offender.

His departure comes after the forum launched an independent review after Brende admitted dining with Epstein on three occasions in 2018 and 2019. Recently published documents also showed texts and emails between the pair. Brende, who was previously the Norwegian foreign minister, claims he had been unaware of the crimes of the financier, who had been convicted in 2008 for soliciting prostitution from a minor.
