ICYMI: other Harvard economists, as Larry Summers’s colleagues and protégés, are again defending him publicly just like they did in ‘05/‘06.
Two of his most public defenders within the department, then and now, teach what is historically the largest course at Harvard.

Despite controversies, Larry Summers has kept a hold in elite circles
Larry Summers has seen his share of controversy, and up to now, he's always bounced back. But the scandal engulfing those with ties to Jeffrey Epstein is, for now, derailing the high-profile economist...

Seriously, one of them follows only the other two on Twitter. They’re not even subtle about it.

We’ll have to see how they handle the gap he’s leaving. Harvard tends to look after its insiders, and failing upward isn’t exactly uncommon, especially for men and higher admins. I’m not optimistic that this will prompt any real reflection on what isn’t working.

Yeah, that would be incredibly unethical, and Eric Beerbohm — the Director of the Edmond & Lily Safra Center for Ethics (one of Larry Summers’ major accomplishments) — would never make false statements just to save face or cater to right-wing bigots like that.

@chancebonar.bsky.social Let’s see how this one plays out. It’s not like Harvard’s higher-ups are ever caught making questionable claims to protect themselves… right?
