From his textbook “Evolutionary Dynamics: Exploring The Equations of Life.” In the last sentence of the preface, after a couple dozen acknowledgements that are literally just a list of names, he has one last special thanks that gets its own paragraph:

“I thank Jeffrey Epstein for many ideas and for letting me participate in his passionate pursuit of knowledge in all its forms”

Now, as Devil's Advocate arguing against you and me, Harvard could choose to drop him at the mere hint of an accusation. You don't have a right to a job and not getting fired without proven cause in any state but I want to say Montana? The rest are "Right to Work."

Back on Team "Give them a second for crying out loud," we're talking about Harvard, allegedly one of the best colleges in the world. We can expect them to do right by probably investigating this properly, and we'd hope any employer we'd ever work for would bother to take more than a femtosecond to figure out if there's evidence supporting an accusation against us.

Obviously a lot of countries do have Big R "Rights" as far as labor goes, but the US is not one of them.
