Statement on Epstein files
Primary page content
It has recently come to our attention that in common with other universities, Goldsmiths has been referenced in the Epstein files published by the US Department of Justice.
Initial investigations have confirmed that in late 2016 Goldsmiths was offered funding to support an ongoing research project by an entity linked to Jeffrey Epstein called Enhanced Education. The matter was referred to Goldsmiths’ Ethical Committee for Acceptance of Gifts, who took a decision to refuse the funding.
It was made clear that any future offer of funding either directly or indirectly from the same source would be refused, and based on extensive searches of our financial systems we can find no record of any funds being received by Goldsmiths from Enhanced Education.
