Part 70: USC Leadership Goes on the Record - Title IX Cases and the Avoidance of Resolution
Part 70: USC Leadership Goes on the Record – Title IX Cases and the Avoidance of Resolution
Published January 24, 2024
By Zachary Ellison, Independent Journalist
The University of Southern California has responded to my investigation, they don’t want to call it that, but this is our true purpose at the end of the day in carrying out journalism. You report on the case, do the investigation and hope that the institution responds. I’m ethically obligated to seek reply from those I write about when possible, and so that’s what we’ve done, and I’ve published USC’s full refusal to even discuss what’s going on in this case with me or acknowledge that any wrongdoing has occurred yet to date in delaying a prospective students complaint for more than two years.
Only after the victim came forward with their story, and it was published has USC now responded with the offer of a Live Hearing to ostensibly resolve her case long after the accused has graduated. Unfortunately, in doing whistleblower journalism like this you take the risk that by not disclosing the identity that something else will happen to someone. That’s an unfortunate trade-off, but USC knows exactly whose case has been reported, and I will continue to provide updates as I’m able on any progression.

Please help me hold the University of Southern California accountable for covering-up sexual misconduct. This is a real story.
