Former US Treasury Secretary and former President of Harvard University, Summers, will resign from his position as a professor at Harvard.

Controversial former US Treasury Secretary and former Harvard University President Lawrence Summers will leave his position at Harvard at the end of this academic year, as the repercussions of his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein continue to ferment in the public eye. "I have made the difficult decision to retire from my professorship at Harvard University," Summers said in a statement on Wednesday. During the investigation into his relationship with Epstein, Summers stepped away from teaching at the end of last year and resigned from his position as director of the Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government at Harvard University.
