Harvard Professor Larry Summers says he’s “deeply ashamed” of his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein, a convicted sex offender, and will pause public engagements to rebuild trust. Despite the backlash, Summers plans to continue teaching at Harvard, but has paused all public commitments in an effort to repair relationships with those closest to him. The revelation comes as Senator Elizabeth Warren calls for Harvard to sever ties with Summers, citing his “monumentally bad judgment” in continuing to communicate with Epstein after allegations of sex abuse surfaced.
