It was reported on WAMC today that Leon Botstein has resigned as president of Bard College: "Bard College President Leon Botstein resigns following investigation into interactions with Jeffrey Epstein."

This has relevance for us in Hudson because Bard is now, or is soon to be, a major property owner in the City of Hudson.

The news has also been reported in the New York Times: "Bard College's President Will Retire After Epstein Revelations."

    1. Which Hudson politicians have the cachet or cash to have been involved with Epstein?

      How does Botstein’s “retirement” affect Bard’s ownership of Hudson properties?

    2. I don't know about Botstein, but the grass appears to be growing unchecked at these properties. Whoever currently owns them should continue to perform basic maintenance.

  2. Leon Botsein’s departure will affect many things, but not Bard’s ownership of Hudson properties.
