Disturbing Report
(Psychopathy
sounds a bit
Narcissistic)

USC did not fire Tyndall
or notify state medical board.

"Lawyers 4 USC
arranged secret deal w [Tyndall]
allowed him 2 leave his post
w a financial payout
+ pristine professional record."

Y?

Member,
LA Times,
believe it or not,
won a Pulitzer 4 their
USC investigation + reporting.

If unaware of this story,
here is a great piece 2 give u bg.

In early February 2018,
investigative reporter Harriet Ryan
received call from a blocked number.
latimes.com/local/lanow/la…

The caller told Ryan,
who had worked w colleagues on USC investigations,
2 look N2 Dr. George Tyndall, gynecologist
who had retired recently
after many yrs at student health clinic.

'Truth won’t matter anyway,'
reporters were told repeatedly.
'USC will just cover it up.'😱

In his 27 years at the clinic,
Tyndall had been accused
repeatedly of misconduct
toward female students,
including:

photographing their genitals during appts,
performing inappropriate pelvic exams
+ making suggestive remarks about their bodies.
😱

📌USC is the most important
private institution in Los Angeles,
responsible 4 more than 53,000 jobs 👈
+ exercising significant influence 👈
in the region’s politics, healthcare 👈
+ economic development.👈
