US EditionHarvard Math Professor Martin Nowak Who Got $6.5 Million From Epstein Put on Leave Amid Probe
Harvard investigates Professor Nowak for extensive contacts with Epstein after DOJ released over 3 million related documents, following prior sanctions and restored privileges.
- Harvard confirmed on Wednesday that it has placed Martin Nowak, Harvard professor of mathematics and biology, Faculty of Arts and Sciences , on paid administrative leave effective immediately while reviewing DOJ Epstein document releases.
- A panel of the FAS Faculty Conduct Committee recommended a formal investigation after reviewing new DOJ Epstein files, following the release of more than 3 million documents prompting Harvard’s broad review.
- Records show Epstein gave $6.5 million to establish Nowak’s PED, bequeathed Nowak $5 million, and DOJ results show over 4,000 hits and at least 150 contacts with Epstein.
- Hopi E. Hoekstra, FAS Dean, said Harvard will arrange coverage for Nowak’s teaching and advising responsibilities to minimize disruption for students, while Larry Summers announced his resignation and will end his affiliation amid Epstein revelations.
- Harvard previously sanctioned Nowak in 2021 by closing PED and restricting roles but lifted penalties in 2023, and the new inquiry follows Harvard’s November promise to review affiliates named in the files.
