Yale Professor Defends Recommending “Good-Looking Blonde” to Epstein
Yale University has suspended computer science professor David Gelernter from teaching while it reviews his conduct after newly released documents showed he described a student as a “v small good-looking blonde” in an email to Jeffrey Epstein. Gelernter defended his description by stating he was mindful of Epstein’s “habits” and believed he did not dishonor the student, adding that her intelligence and beauty were relevant information for a potential employer. Students were notified of his suspension and Gelernter later claimed the university’s action was based on a private email dug from Epstein’s files.
