Columbia University Under Investigation for Handling of Sexual Abuse Claims

A recent report reveals that Columbia University shielded a physician accused of sexual assault, prompting an investigation by the New York Attorney General. The inquiry is focused on the institutional failures that allowed the predatory doctor to continue seeing patients despite numerous warnings. In light of these findings, several top doctors have resigned from their positions. Columbia has acknowledged its role in enabling the abuse and is facing scrutiny over its handling of the case. The situation highlights a troubling culture of silence surrounding allegations of sexual misconduct within the institution.
