…I, at least, will not miss him after his evisceration by the Harvard Crimson. Senator Warren, who was a law professor at Harvard before election to the Senate, got it exactly right:
For decades, Larry Summers has demonstrated his attraction to serving the wealthy and well-connected, but his willingness to cozy up to a convicted sex offender demonstrates monumentally bad judgment. If he had so little ability to distance himself from Jeffrey Epstein even after all that was publicly known about Epstein’s sex offenses involving underage girls, then Summers cannot be trusted to advise our nation’s politicians, policymakers, and institutions — or teach a generation of students at Harvard or anywhere else.
UPDATE: A reader points out, correctly, that insofar as Summers is still a tenured professor of economics, Harvard can not remove him, absent an investigation and finding that he violated, e.g., the rules regarding sexual harassment.
