US EditionProfessors in the Epstein Files Say They Hoped Friendship Would Lead to Research Funding
Documents show Jeffrey Epstein funneled over $9 million to Harvard and provided $200,000 to UCLA neurologist Mark Tramo, highlighting academia's reliance on private donors amid federal funding cuts.
- Justice Department files reveal professors cultivated friendships with Jeffrey Epstein to seek research funding, with dozens of emails and calls over more than a decade, mixing personal topics with funding discussions.
- Facing tighter federal grants, professors and researchers sought Epstein because private donations could guarantee jobs, fund graduate students, and underwrite risky research amid competitive federal grant systems.
- Dr. Mark Tramo at UCLA described exchanging dozens of emails with Epstein, estimating about $200,000 received and sending a 2009 email reading `Only 13 days to go, buddy!!!!!`.
- Immediate fallout includes at least one scholar resigning, Yale University removing a professor from teaching pending review, and UCLA removing Tramo's profile after more than 6,000 signatures, according to KTLA.
- Experts say the episode highlights reputational risks for universities and warns that reliance on donors amid federal cuts forces university leaders to debate long-term funding strategies.
