USC Agrees To Settle Sexual Abuse Allegations Related To A Physician It Used To Employ.
USC is the latest university to agree to a massive payout related to an alleged sexual predator that it employed.
“USC and attorneys for the plaintiffs made the terms public after a hearing in Los Angeles County Superior Court. The magnitude of the settlement — about one seventh of the size of the $5.9 billion endowment USC reported in 2020 — made it a landmark case for higher education.”
The alleged sexual abuse suffered at the hands of doctors at universities nationwide like USC is jaw dropping. The notorious Dr. Nassar got away with sexual abuse for decades while working at Michigan State University. The cost of not listing to survivors of abuse and choosing to not believe their allegations is staggering. Not just in monetary terms, but the number of lives that are destroyed by these abusers and the equally culpable administrators who turn a blind eye and allow the abuse to continue unabated.
