When former Harvard President Lawrence H. Summers was pursuing a romantic relationship with a woman he described as a mentee, he turned to a longtime associate for guidance: Jeffrey E. Epstein.

The proudest moment of my life was my admission to @Harvard in 1976. Today I am deeply ashamed. Harvard must revoke Summers' University Professorship, the university's highest honor.
My membership in the community of economists is has defined me for early 4 decades. Our profession must end the treatment of Summers as economic royalty.
The post below elaborates.

I think it's a very reasonable position that any person or institution that has platformed Larry Summers that does not explicitly condemn his let's-gossip-about-extramarital-affairs closeness with an already-convicted child sex trafficker deserves to be never listened to again.
