MIT and Harvard Accepted $7.5 Million From Epstein After His Sex Conviction
Investigations published in August 2019 revealed that MIT and Harvard collectively received approximately $7.5 million in donations from Jeffrey Epstein after his 2008 Florida conviction for soliciting prostitution from a minor. MIT Media Lab director Joi Ito resigned after The New Yorker reported he had personally solicited Epstein funds and directed staff to conceal the donor's identity. Harvard returned $200,000 in Epstein-linked donations after public pressure.
