Some famous universities are dealing with reports about their financial ties to businessman and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The president of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MIT, has ordered an independent investigation into financing of MIT’s Media Lab. The order comes after the head of the laboratory resigned over its ties to Epstein. Separately, other universities that accepted his money say they have no plans to return the donations. The issue of questionable donations has sent shockwaves through the world of education. It shows the problems educators face as they decide whether to accept money from people accused of wrongdoing.
