Former Treasury Secretary and Harvard President Larry Summers will resign from teaching at the end of the academic year, a Harvard spokesperson told USA TODAY.
The Feb. 25 announcement comes more than three months after the Justice Department revealed the longtime economist's ties with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
“In connection with the ongoing review by the University of documents related to Jeffrey Epstein that were recently released by the government, Harvard Kennedy School Dean Jeremy Weinstein has accepted Professor Lawrence H. Summers’ resignation from his leadership position as co-director of the Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government," said Harvard spokesperson Jason Newton in an emailed statement to USA TODAY.
Summers is also resigning from his academic and faculty appointments and will remain on leave until then, Newton added.
