A wave of controversy surrounding the former Treasury Secretary is fueling discussion on Bluesky following the public release of emails. These communications reveal troubling correspondence with Jeffrey Epstein, prompting widespread condemnation and resignations from prominent boards, including OpenAI. Critics are expressing outrage over his past remarks on women in STEM and drawing parallels to other figures facing scrutiny, while others are questioning why institutions like Harvard continue to associate with him. The unearthed emails have reignited concerns about abuse of power and the ethical conduct of influential figures in academia and beyond, leading many to question accountability.
Have the Democratic Party, the Center for American Progress, and the architects of Project 2029 disavowed Larry Summers? He's advising all of them and is a major liberal power player. He was also used by the Dem establishment to attack Mamdani. If they have, great; if not, why not?
CSWEP strongly condemns Larry Summers’ behavior as revealed in the email correspondence with the late Jeffrey Epstein. While abuse of power in the economics profession is not new, rarely has the intent behind such abuse been so clearly stated.
It says a lot about whose voices matter in higher ed that Larry Summers is still allowed to teach his college students, while Jessica Adams* is not.
