USC Sexual Harassment Allegations: Education Department Launches Investigation

The Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights announced Monday it is investigating the University of Southern California’s handling of sexual harassment allegations against gynecologist Dr. George Tyndall. In a statement, the office said it will look into how USC handled “reports and complaints of sexual harassment during pelvic exams as early as 1990 that were not fully investigated by the University until spring 2016 and that the University did not disclose to OCR during an earlier investigation.”
