Larry Summers will resign from his teaching position at Harvard University at the end of the academic year, prompted by the university's review of recently released documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. Summers, also stepping down as co-director of the Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government, had previously announced a leave of absence in November 2025 during the school's investigation. Emails released by the US House oversight committee revealed a friendship between Summers and Epstein that lasted until shortly before Epstein's 2019 arrest on sex-trafficking charges. The emails, dating up to 2018, discussed various topics, including politics, philanthropy, and women. Summers, a former US Treasury Secretary and White House economic advisor, expressed gratitude for his time at Harvard and plans to focus on research and commentary on global economic issues.
