Apparently the scheming with the world’s most famous sex pest about how to leverage sexual favors from a young mentee you’ve given a sniggering racist nickname was too far even for a made guy:

Former Harvard President Larry Summers will resign from his academic and faculty appointments at Harvard at the end of the academic year, relinquishing his University Professorship — Harvard’s highest faculty distinction — and remaining on leave until that time, a Harvard spokesperson confirmed to The Crimson.

Summers also resigned Wednesday from his role as co-director of the Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government at the Harvard Kennedy School, a position he has held since 2011, according to the spokesperson. He will not teach or take on new advisees.

The resignation marks an extraordinary unraveling for Summers, long one of the most influential figures in American economics. His career spanned prize-winning research, service as United States Treasury Secretary, and the presidency of Harvard.

Admittedly, Summers will be materially fine and I’m sure he’ll have access to plenty of lucrative barely-work gigs going forward, but…for anything to happen to the status of someone in this kind of position in this country is more than I expect anymore.
