Chinanews.com, March 26th, a comprehensive report, in response to the alleged sexual assault and sexual harassment case of the former University of Southern California (USC) doctor George Tyndall, on the 25th local time, the University of Southern California agreed to pay another US$852 million Settlement gold.
So far, USC agreed to pay more than $1 billion in settlement payments, which is the largest compensation case for sexual harassment in the history of American higher education.
According to reports, in the Los Angeles Superior Court, the lawyer who sued the 710 women of Southern California told the judge that a $852 million settlement agreement had been reached with Southern California.
In addition, USC had earlier agreed to pay 215 million US dollars to settle another class action lawsuit involving approximately 18,000 Tyndall patients.
Regardless of whether these women formally accused Tyndall of sexual harassment or sexual assault, they can receive personal compensation ranging from US$2,500 to US$250,000.
Up to now, Tyndall has faced 35 criminal charges, all of which were improper acts committed at the USC Health Center.
But Tyndall claimed not guilty and is currently on bail.
If convicted, the sentence can be up to 64 years.
In May 2018, the "Los Angeles Times" published an investigative report, exposing Tyndall's suspicion of sexual harassment and molestation of female students for a long time through work. The time span was from 2009 to 2016.
The school did not take effective measures in time after receiving multiple reports and continued to condone the doctor until his retirement in 2016.
In 2019, Tyndall was arrested by the Los Angeles police.
The president of the University of Southern California, Carol Fuerte, reformed the university in 2019 after the scandal. She said in a letter to the school community that she hoped that the settlement agreement would “provide some relief for the abused women of Tyndall.”
