Epstein files show Haverford donor Howard Lutnick stayed in touch after claiming he cut ties, sparking calls to rename library

Members of the Haverford community have expressed outrage at the revelation and have since called for the library to be renamed. According to The Bi-College News, the student newspaper of Haverford and Bryn Mawr colleges, posters have appeared around campus reading “Howard Lutnick is in the Epstein files — What now?”

Students had long been aware of Lutnick’s public profile, Ben Fligelman, co-president of Haverford Students’ Council, told WHYY News. But the revelations about his continued association with Epstein changed how many viewed his relationship with the college.

“Even before the Epstein files came out, we were aware of Lutnick’s history and his behavior in the business world and in the political world. But, in so many ways, that’s just life,” he said.

But for Fligelman and co-president Sarah Weill-Jones, the revelation of Lutnick’s association with Epstein, and the fact that he had previously lied about it, was a breaking point.

“I was nothing short of horrified,” Weill-Jones said. “To know that someone so closely tied to Haverford as an institution directly associated with Epstein even after his conviction is something I found extremely disturbing.” - Why.Org
