Abstracts from today's article LA Times: "There were complaints about his demeanor, behavior and manner,” said Jody Shipper, who headed USC’s equity and diversity office for more than a decade. She left in 2015." "Lynch, who was human resources director from 2009 to 2014, said he encouraged faculty and staff to complain directly to Puliafito themselves and did not pass on Keck employees’ complaints to the university administration. “It never occurred to me to do it,” he said. " “The F-word was in every other sentence,” said one former professor. She said she heard a high-ranking Keck administrator vomit in the ladies’ room after one dressing-down by the dean." "Lynch, the former human resources director, confirmed that Puliafito upbraided that administrator on several occasions. “It was certainly challenging, and she ultimately left,” he said." "USC President C.L. Max Nikias opted to reappoint Puliafito, giving him a new five-year term with an annual salary of more than $1 million." Nathalie Gosset reported to HR allegations of sexual harassment by the Executive Director of the Alfred E. Mann Institute for Biomedical Engineering at USC, Do you think she could have been heard? And how far up she would have needed to go in the administration before getting someone who cared and could intervene? Thank you the LA Times for investigating what is really happening at USC. And dear supporters, feel free to leave one or multiple comments to President Nikias with this petition.
