INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY

Jonathan Farley is a mathematics professor at Morgan State University who contacted incarcerated Jeffrey Epstein in July 2019 requesting a $5 million donation to endow a chair for women in mathematics at the university. Farley's email, sent roughly three weeks before Epstein's death in custody, suggested that the donation would help Epstein rehabilitate his public image following his arrest on federal sex trafficking charges. Morgan State University launched an internal investigation into Farley in 2023 after the email was uncovered and reported by VICE, emphasizing that Farley acted independently without university authorization or knowledge. The university stated it opposed receiving support from entities misaligned with its values and investigated university protocols regarding faculty solicitation of donations. Farley remained employed at the time reporting concluded, with no public disclosure of disciplinary outcomes.
