David A. Ross Resigns From School of Visual Arts After Epstein Revelations
""still proud" to call him a friend and that it was "depressing" to see Epstein "once again being dragged through the mud.""
""Ah...just about to email you a welcome home! glad the nightmare is over, Jeffrey... it was an undeserved punishment foisted upon you by jealous creeps," Ross wrote to Epstein. "Looking forward to seeing you, here, there, or somewhere. now get some rest! let's speak soon.""
""has accepted Mr. Ross's resignation effective immediately.""
David A. Ross resigned as chair of the School of Visual Arts MFA Art Practice Department after the Department of Justice released extensive email exchanges between Ross and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The records span from 1999 through years after Epstein's 2008 conviction and include flight logs, sympathetic messages, and communications dated during and after the conviction. The correspondence includes a January 2015 message in which Ross said he was "still proud" to call Epstein a friend and described it as "depressing" to see Epstein "once again being dragged through the mud." Public reaction included student and alumni calls to sever ties, and the school confirmed it accepted Ross's resignation effective immediately.
