According to a report published by TMZ on June 22, 2026, billionaire Les Wexner stated he was pleased with the decision made by Harvard University regarding names associated with his contributions.
The article indicates that this decision pertains to two prominent spaces located at the Kennedy School of Government. The report notes that Wexner expressed satisfaction despite a recent push from others to remove his name due to alleged ties between him and Jeffrey Epstein.
According to the source text, Les Wexner stated he would have been "shocked" if a rational organization like Harvard reached what he considered the wrong conclusion regarding retaining the names. The report states that Wexner said the outcome of keeping his name was never really in doubt for him.
The decision to retain the names was announced by Kennedy School Dean Jeremy M. Weinstein, as stated in the source text.
