Jeffrey Epstein Fallout: Larry Summers Steps Down Amid Email Revelations (2/26/26)

After newly released government documents and emails revealed a longstanding personal and professional relationship between Larry Summers and Epstein, Summers announced he will step down from his faculty position at Harvard University at the end of the 2025-26 academic year. Harvard confirmed that his decision comes amid an ongoing university review of records related to Epstein’s connections with faculty and leadership, which showed Summers maintained frequent communication with Epstein over several years, including correspondence about personal matters and introductions involving women. Summers has already been on leave since late 2025 and relinquished leadership roles such as co-director of the Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government; he also resigned from high-profile board positions, including at OpenAI, as the controversy expanded.


The fallout from the Epstein files has dramatically shifted Summers’s standing in academia and public life. Although there is no evidence he was involved in criminal activity, the release of emails and other documents showing close ties to Epstein — including visits, frequent exchanges, and his name appearing repeatedly in the files — sparked institutional and public pressure. Summers, a former U.S. Treasury secretary and one-time Harvard president, expressed that his decision was difficult and framed it as an opportunity to focus on independent research, but his resignation underscores the broader repercussions that association with Epstein continues to have for powerful figures across academic and professional spheres.
