Queen’s University Belfast cuts ties with US politician George Mitchell over Epstein links
AI Summary
Queen's University Belfast severed ties with former US Senator George Mitchell on Monday due to his connections to Jeffrey Epstein. The university's decision was prompted by newly released information from the US Justice Department's Epstein files. While no wrongdoing by Mitchell has been established, the university deemed it inappropriate to maintain its association, considering the experiences of victims and survivors of Epstein's crimes. The university will remove Mitchell's name from the Institute for Global Peace, Security and Justice, and take down his bust from the campus. The Justice Department's Epstein library included references to Mitchell, such as emails mentioning appointments and phone calls.
