“Lawrence Summers has lost his affiliation with America’s leading economics organization, the latest consequence for the former Treasury secretary and Harvard president stemming from his ties to the late Jeffrey Epstein.
“The National Bureau of Economic Research said an ad hoc committee reviewed Summers’s conduct and recommended the termination of his appointment as a research associate with the organization.”
So, like, did he do something illegal? Has the statute of limitations expired? Isn't this something we do anymore?

He was a publicly misogynistic scumbag. Harvard knew it and ignored it until the Epstein stuff came out and showed him doubling down on the misogyny in private conversations and discussing his predatory sexual intent regarding a young woman he was mentoring.
And I'd be surprised if no other students/interns had reported him to Harvard previously.
Oh, he certainly deserves everything that is happening to him. The point is shouldn't he and others of his ilk also be investigated and face real legal consequences for criminal behavior?
