M.I.T. Media Lab concealed its relationship with Jeffrey Epstein
It strikes me as inappropriate to suggest that "Anyone seriously tainted by Epstein should step down".  What does "tainted" mean?  What does "seriously" mean?<p>If "seriously tainted" means "directly linked to Epstein's criminal activities," I'd be amenable to the suggestion.  But I find it concerning that the writer feels no need to be specific (though he includes vague accusations that Ito visited Epstein's private residence).  Frankly, the whole thing seems like a power play to me.  Maybe I'm being cynical, but it seems to me that Ghiridaradas is exploiting the situation to raise his profile.<p>Epstein had social relationships with many people who likely visited his private residences.  We can't throw them all out because most of them are innocent.  The failure point with Epstein was the justice system.  What happened?  Why was he allowed to walk?  I want answers, but I'm skeptical of a witch hunt aimed at anyone who knew him.
