USC Settles Lawsuits From 710 Women Accusing a Former University Gynecologist of Sexual Abuse
Latest

In order to resolve lawsuits from the hundreds of women who claim that the school failed to respond sufficiently to accusations that gynecologist George Tyndall sexually abused patients at its student health center, the University of Southern California has agreed to pay out an $852 million settlement to the 710 women who pursued civil lawsuits against the university. This is the second time that USC has paid hundreds of millions in a settlement to women who were patients of the allegedly abusive Tyndall—the first was in 2018, when the university paid $240 million in a federal class action settlement. In total, USC has now paid over $1 billion in legal settlements related to Tyndall’s alleged sexual misconduct.
