TL;DR

New documents show Bard College president Leon Botstein’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein went beyond fundraising, including a 2013 email saying 'Miss you', a 2017-era watch purchase, and a planned 2012 trip to Epstein’s island; Botstein says these interactions were about securing long-term funding for Bard, not personal gain, but the disclosures raise questions about donor influence and ethics in small liberal arts colleges.
