Jeffrey Epstein scandal: MIT professor put on leave, 'failed to inform' college that sex offender
Source: CNBC
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology said Friday that it had placed one of its tenured professors on paid administrative leave after finding that he had "purposefully failed to inform MIT" that convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein had been the source of two donations to support that professor's research in 2012.
A report released by MIT on Friday found that the decision by three administrators to accept donations from Epstein, who had pleaded guilty to sex crimes in Florida in 2008 -- one of which involved a minor girl -- "was the result of collective and serious errors in judgment that resulted in serious damage to the MIT community."
Epstein donated $850,000 to MIT from 2002 through 2017 in 10 separate gifts, the report said.
