Former US treasury secretary and Harvard president Larry Summers is retiring from his roles at the Ivy League university after its review into his ties with the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Harvard said it had accepted Summers's resignation as co-director of the Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government and that he would retire from his other academic and faculty posts.
Last year, Summers expressed "regret" over his links with Epstein, while addressing students in a class he had been teaching at Harvard.
Released emails had indicated that he corresponded with Epstein until the day before the financier's 2019 arrest for the alleged sex trafficking of children.
