Letter from @harvard President to affiliates (e.g., alumni like me) regarding funding from Jeffrey Epstein #NotImpressed
@Harvard Why am I not impressed? How about #1 - WTF did this take so long to make any comment? This is just absurd.
@Harvard #2 - really - how can it take weeks for a place like Harvard to find out who they got money from? This is just silly.
@Harvard #3 - this has repeated attempts to not take responsibility by saying others also did bad things e.g. "as a donor to this University, and other institutions, and "Epstein’s behavior, not just at Harvard, but elsewhere, " -- really @harvard - how about just dealing with your mess?
@Harvard #4 the President of @harvard expresses "regret" this happened - like he is sad they got caught? sorry but being regretful something happened is not an apology
@Harvard #5 - re "All of us have been horrified by the revelations " let it be clear that @harvard did not make any of these revelations - @harvard has sat in pathetic silence while whistleblowers, reporters & others made the revelations
@Harvard # 6 - the emphasis on whether or not they took money after Epstein's conviction is only minimally important - @harvard kept spending the money, apparently until LAST WEEK #FFS
@Harvard # 7 - by keeping the money UNTIL LAST WEEK, @harvard let Epstein bask in the glory of funding activities at @harvard and he continued to interact with those he funded which I believe compromises the integrity of all of the work from places like the PED group
@Harvard #8 - sorry - but actually I was wrong saying they kept the money UNTIL LAST WEEK - they still have the money " the University WILL REDIRECT the unspent resources" - so it has not happened - does that mean @DrMANowak can still use this money? #WTF?
@Harvard @DrMANowak # 9 - why was this simply sent out as an email to @harvard affiliates and not posted anywhere on the web as far as I can tell - here are the latest news stories from @harvard I could find
@Harvard @DrMANowak #10 - As recently as July @harvard said "the University has no plans to return the $6.5M to Epstein" newsweek.com/harvard-wont-r… so this letter now, without ever mentioning their previous statements is just complete, utter BS
