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

Columbia University said it would cut all ties to Dr. Magnani and strip Dr. Moss-Salentijn of her administrative duties at the dental college; Dr. Moss-Salentijn remains a tenured faculty member. The university also identified $210,000 in donations from entities related to Jeffrey Epstein and said it would donate that amount, split between two New York nonprofits that support survivors of sexual abuse and human trafficking.

Several other people implicated in the episode had already ended their affiliations with the school. The university acknowledged that "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." The student, Karyna Shuliak, was the last person Mr.

Epstein spoke to by phone before his death in a Manhattan jail cell in 2019; he paid for her tuition and other courses and left her $100 million in his will. Ms. Shuliak graduated from the dental college in 2015 and is now believed to be living in New York.
