🚨 Epstein-Columbia Scandal (2012)

Jeffrey Epstein allegedly spent $200K to get Karina Shulyak into Columbia University Dental School, despite initial rejection.

Key points:

Epstein offered $5–10M donations; $100K went to a research project, $50K to school budget.

Shulyak transferred from Belarus, deadlines bypassed, custom study program created.

Thomas Mangani (Epstein’s dentist) resigned from admissions; Prof. Letty Moss-Salanti lost admin duties.

Former Dean Ira Lamster claimed awareness but suggested Epstein may have “atoned.”
