The School of Earth and Space Exploration appears in the Epstein files exclusively through its connection to Lawrence Krauss, who directed ASU's Origins Project and received $250,000 from Epstein's Enhanced Education foundation between 2010-2017.
All 14 mentions are signature blocks from Lawrence Krauss's emails, listing his affiliation as Foundation Professor of the School of Earth and Space Exploration at Arizona State University. These appear in correspondence between Krauss and Epstein or emails where Krauss was discussing scientific topics. The school itself had no institutional relationship with Epstein—the connection was entirely through Krauss, who organized a 2006 conference funded by Epstein and continued accepting donations for the Origins Project even after Epstein's 2008 conviction.
Key Highlights
- •All mentions are email signature blocks from Lawrence Krauss's correspondence, not substantive discussions about the school
- •Krauss's Origins Project received ~$250,000 from Epstein's Enhanced Education foundation (2010-2017)
- •Krauss retired from ASU in May 2019 following his own sexual misconduct allegations and was replaced as Origins Project director in 2018
- •The school had no direct institutional relationship with Epstein beyond Krauss's individual fundraising
