She initially failed the selection process, but Epstein told the university he would donate between $5 million and $10 million, the dean of the dental school received $100,000 for his research project, and another $50,000 went into the faculty’s “budget”
As a result, Shuliak was able to transfer from a Belarusian university despite violating deadlines, and an individual study program was prepared for her.
The key link in this “arrangement” was Epstein’s personal dentist, Thomas Mangani. After the scandal, Mangani left the Columbia University admissions committee, and Professor Letty Moss-Salanté was stripped of her administrative duties. Former dean Ira Lamster, who left the university in 2017, said he knew about Epstein’s crimes but believed he had “paid back society for his sins”.
