A Brown University fundraising director has been placed on leave amid claims he helped cover up Jeffrey Epstein’s connections to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, according to a new report.

Peter Cohen, the former director of development for the MIT Media Lab who now works as director of development for computer science and data initiatives at Brown, was placed on administrative leave from the Ivy over the weekend in the wake of a bombshell New Yorker report that claimed staff at the research center concealed large contributions from Epstein by marking them as anonymous.

“We are engaged in a review of available information regarding Mr. Cohen in the context of Brown University policies, core values and the University’s commitment to treat employees fairly,” read a statement from Brown University released to the Providence Journal.

The New Yorker report published Friday contained emails Cohen sent to colleagues in 2014 warning them that donations from Epstein — a convicted pedophile who was disqualified from the official donor list — needed to be “anonymous.”

Media Lab director Joichi Ito resigned from the college on Saturday following the article, which claimed he actively sought donations via Epstein but tried to keep the arrangement quiet. He also resigned from the board of The New York Times.

Ito previously claimed MIT took only $800,000 from Epstein and his pals over a 20-year period, when the number was really $7.5 million, according to The New Yorker.

MIT president Rafael Reif called the allegations both “deeply disturbing” and “extremely serious,” and announced the prestigious institution was hiring an independent law firm to investigate.
