I hope university leadership immediately acts to minimize impact on his current students in 2 undergrad and 1 grad course.
Their end of semester exams are now a stereotype threat natural experiment.

Larry Summers still teaches at Harvard. Imagine what it feels like to be a woman walking into this guy's classroom after reading those Epstein emails.

If women are underrepresented in STEM, it's at least partly because men like this offer mentoring, then embarrass themselves by assuming their mentees must be into them, then decide the best solution is to cut ties, which sends the signal to other faculty that the mentee must not be good enough.
The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

In no way are your 20s the best years of your life.
Many 20-somethings feel like they’re falling far behind peer, parental, and societal expectations when it comes to meeting adult milestones. But if your 20s are the best years of your life, Meg Jay argues, “something has gone seriously wrong.”

I worry that the financial and political pressure the Trump administration is putting on higher ed and the state of general anxiety and uncertainty will lead admissions offices to enroll even more students through ED, which favors the students with the most advantages.

As I read this, I'm thinking about the man I interviewed who had to be hospitalized from the Covid he caught at the poultry processing plant and he got fired for it and he still has long Covid
During the height of the pandemic, Tyson used Palantir to predict Covid-19 infections among meatpacking workers down to a nearly exactly figure. But rather than using this data to increase worker protections, Tyson used it plan for labor shortages + plant closures
