Columbia Punishes 2 Who Helped Epstein’s Girlfriend Enter Dental College



Columbia University has punished two people affiliated with its dental college after documents released by the Justice Department revealed that they had bypassed the normal process to help Jeffrey Epstein’s girlfriend gain admission.

The documents shed light on communications between Mr. Epstein and College of Dental Medicine representatives that Columbia officials knew about as of 2019, the university said in a statement on Friday.

As a result, Columbia said it was cutting all ties to Dr. Magnani and stripping Dr. Moss-Salentijn of her administrative duties at the dental college, where she remains a tenured faculty member. Several other people implicated in the episode had already ended their affiliations with the school, the statement said.

The university also said it had identified $210,000 in donations from “entities related to” Mr. Epstein, and would be donating that amount, split between two New York nonprofit organizations that support survivors of sexual abuse and human trafficking.

“In short,” the university said, “a student was admitted to the dental school through an irregular process, coinciding with fund-raising solicitations by former academic and alumni leadership of the school.”

Although not named in the statement, the student in question was Karyna Shuliak, the last person Mr. Epstein spoke to by phone before his death by suicide in a Manhattan prison cell in 2019 while facing federal sex-trafficking charges. He paid for Ms. Shuliak’s dental school tuition and other courses. In his will, he left her $100 million.
