Watch: Ira Lamster in the Epstein files
1:06Narrated from the AI-generated summary of the documents. Numbers reflect the archive at generation time.
Ira Lamster was dean of Columbia's dental school. In the files he corresponds directly with Jeffrey Epstein about a 2012 funding discussion, a gift for his dental public health initiative, and a student, Karyna Shuliak. Epstein also met him for drinks and dinner arranged with Dr. Thomas Magnani.
Six emails have Lamster in the From/To/Cc header. They include a May 2012 "Follow-up" exchange with Epstein, an August 2012 "Thanks" email for a donation to his dental public health initiative, a May 2012 "RE: Karyna" thread that Epstein forwarded to Karyna Shuliak, and a February 2013 note from Epstein to Magnani and Lamster saying "Karina passed the boards. Thank you thank you." Most of the other 69 documents are Epstein assistant schedules and emails, mainly from Lesley Groff, that list a Feb 2012 drinks meeting and a May 8, 2012 7:30 dinner with "the Dean Ira Lamster and Dr. Magnani." Several are repeated calendar and to-do entries for the same dinner. Lamster also appears on a list of people Epstein's office might contact.
Key Highlights
- •Direct correspondence: six emails with Lamster in the header, including a May 2012 "Follow-up" with Epstein, a May 2012 thread titled "RE; Karyna," and an August 2012 thank-you for a donation.
- •In the August 2012 email, Lamster thanks Epstein for "the donation" and says it will help launch his dental public health initiative.
- •In February 2013 Epstein emailed Thomas Magnani and Lamster: "Karina passed the boards. Thank you thank you." The Karyna Shuliak thread (May 2012) is a separate exchange that Epstein forwarded to her.
- •Epstein's staff arranged a Feb 2012 drinks meeting and a May 8, 2012 dinner with Lamster and Magnani. Staff asked whether the May meeting "should be dinner," and one version also lists Sara Patterson. In May 2012 Groff asked for Lamster's office address, and in August 2012 an assistant reminded Epstein to call him.
- •Lamster is mentioned alongside Woody Allen, Leon Black, Andrew Farkas, Peggy Siegal and John Brockman on Epstein's contact and people lists. Roughly two thirds of the 69 documents are the same schedule repeated across many email copies, so the count overstates how many separate interactions there were.
- •Public reporting on the Justice Department releases says Columbia identified $210,000 in funds from entities related to Epstein. It also says Lamster helped Shuliak's admission while the school was pursuing a major gift. Lamster has said he knew of Epstein's conviction and that a major gift was being pursued at the time. Columbia disciplined two other former officials, including Magnani.
