“My alma mater USC has been stained by a succession of scandals in healthcare, sports, and admissions, and a culture of silence and cover-up at the highest levels of the University.
None of these is more tragic and disturbing than the sexual assault of thousands of young women over three decades by former USC gynecologist George Tyndall.
Board chairman Rick Caruso ordered an investigation of the Tyndall scandal by the law firm O’Melveny & Myers more than a year ago. At the time, he promised to make the results public, but this investigation has still not seen the light of day.
President Folt should demand that USC Trustees release the secret investigation report on Tyndall. This is a litmus test to determine whether there will be real change and transparency under President Folt, or whether it’s just business as usual at USC.”
Sexual assault victims’ attorney John Manly represents more than 200 alleged victims of former USC gynecologist George Tyndall.
Manly Stewart & Finaldi is the nation’s leading firm representing athletes in child sexual abuse cases against school districts, Universities, and Olympic Governing Bodies. They recently represented 180 alleged victims of former Olympic Team doctor Larry Nassar, resulting in a $500 million-dollar settlement against Michigan State University. In 2018, the firm settled cases against the Torrance Unified School District for $31 million on behalf of alleged victims of former wrestling coach and convicted child molester Thomas Snider, against Los Angeles Unified School district for $8 million in cases involving former football coach and convicted child molester Jamie Jimenez, and for $14 million in cases involving former Los Angeles Unified District employee Ronnie Lee Roman. The firm has also settled $30 million in claims against Redlands Unified School District.
