Christopher Marquis on the academics in the Epstein files:"Universities and academics like me need to face a hard truth about our own desires. The job is supposed to be about ideas, teaching and public knowledge. Epstein offered something else: prestige without peer review, and attention without consequence. Too many people – even those who were not involved directly in exploitation – took the deal because it was easy to do and because it felt good."https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/feb/20/epstein-files-professors-academics#academia
