🚨 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.”
