Harvard Places Math Professor Martin Nowak on Paid Administrative Leave Over Epstein Ties

  Well I am sure Harvard benefited from all the money he brought to the department via Epstein. So the only way Harvard can come clean is to donate a similar amount of money to independent charities that fight against child slavery, human trafficking etc.

  What in the French fried fuck, he gave a fucking shoutout to Epstein in the dedication of his textbook…?

  • Grainne@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    That’s your issue and not the email from Epstein asking if he “tortured her”?

    source

    • gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago

      …how is that your takeaway from my comment?

      Of course that’s entirely heinous. I was just remarking on the fact that the guy fucking put Epstein in the dedication of his textbook on top of that. It’s just an extra layer of gratuitous, gleeful evil kind of beggars belief.

  Harvard punishes child rapists with a paid vacation?

    Administrative Leave starts when a formal investigation begins. You’re basically calling for Chapter 10 of a book to be over when Chapter 1 barely started.

    It was just a little statutory torture. I don’t see what the problem is.

    If you just fire someone who can afford an attorney without going through the proper process, you’re opening your organization up to a lawsuit

    At this moment I’d out for administrative leave for all persons involved with Epstein.

    It’s better than zero consequences.

    Beheading would be better, ofc

  Massaschuttes is an at-will state. Was “rich pedophile” added as a protected class at some point or why does does he get a paid vacation for this?

  • Arcka@midwest.social ⁨54⁩ ⁨minutes⁩ ago

    He may have an employment contract in place which gives additional protections. It’s much more likely for a Harvard professor than your average worker.

  really impressed with the constant stream of high profile people that knew this was coming, having seen countless other epstein associates fall… but still just stayed in their public high profile roles.

  like… you could have got out ahead of this… or better yet faded into obscurity, changed your name and move to SE asia… but nope.

  guess if you are fucked in the head enough to associate with pedo’s you are fucked in the head enough to put up with this 🤷

    Why would he? The worst thing that has happened to him is that he’s getting a paid vacation.

      Yet. There are dozens other who resigned (or were forced to resign) their jobs.

    Pretty sure they have social connections they don’t want to cut. Like e.g. friends or… you know… a family.

  Yes, I sound “barbaric” and we’re a society of laws and all that, but it seems we’re obviously not. This information was just sat on, fucking disgusting people.

    The united states has not been a society of laws since 2017, and anyone telling you otherwise is either blind, stupid, lying, or some combination of the three

    epstein entrenched himself with movers and shakers across multiple industries. of course he would look to harvard to collect intellectuals and industry/academic leaders

    This has nothing to do with the university. This has everything to do with this guy being a piece of shit. Do not lump all professors in with this guy.

    • morkyporky@suppo.fi ⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Harvard produces a higher than average amount of absolute pieces of shit than a normal university I’m guessing.

    I don’t think any of what he did was stupid. He wanted to do evil shit to children, he did evil shit to children. The shout-out was a boast, a dogwhistle to other monsters like him, and a thank you to the person who helped him torture children. To him, he was giggling behind his hand because he was getting away with it. He still hasn’t faced any kind of criminal penalty, and it doesn’t seem likely he will, if the American prosecutions for this are any indicator.

  Guess the current federal admin will somehow now find even more reasons to freeze Harvard’s federal funding! Totally legitimate reasons. /s
