Columbia University Establishes $100 Million Fund for Victims of Predator OB-GYN
TL;DR Summary
Columbia University has announced a series of changes in response to its failure to protect patients who were sexually assaulted by OB-GYN Robert Hadden. The university will conduct an external investigation into systemic failures, notify nearly 6,500 former Hadden patients about his crimes, and establish a $100 million survivors' settlement fund for those who do not want to go through the court system. The announcement comes ahead of a deadline for survivors to file suit against the university, and Columbia has previously settled civil suits with 226 patients for $236.5 million.
