MIT president L. Rafael Reif apologized Friday as the institution released a report outlining the $850,000 in donations the institution received from convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein between 2012 and 2017. The report investigates the ties between the late financier and two of MIT’s luminaries, professor Seth Lloyd and Media Lab director Joi Ito, who has since resigned.
