Ok...then is everybody who graduated from MIT radioactive, even if they graduated 50 years ago, since Epstein has been involved?

Your logic doesn't make ANY sense.

It makes perfect sense once you realize that universities are in the business of selling reputation.

When someone graduates from the university, that is the same as the university saying "This person is up to our standards in terms of knowledge, ethics and experience."

If those standards for ethics are very low, then it naturally taints that reputation they sold.

no, when somebody graduates from X school, then it means he was capable to either pass or cheat all exams.
