, its former medical school dean, nearly $1 million in severance along with a bonus, according to tax filings disclosed this week.in 2017 that revealed he used drugs and partied with young addicts while running the Keck School of Medicine.In a settlement after USC banned him from campus, Puliafito was allowed to resign in September 2017, with the university giving him a $875,000 payout. That year, USC also paid him a $124,000 bonus.

The figures were contained in annual tax forms that the university must publicly release as a nonprofit. The payouts were in addition to Puliafito’s base salary of about $620,000, for a total compensation exceeding $1.8 million, according to the tax filings.A USC spokesman noted that the university's “previous administration reached a settlement agreement” with the former dean. The spokesman said in a statement that the bonus was paid in accordance with Puliafito’s employment contract.

In the wake of The Times report, USC hired former U.S. Atty. Debra Wong Yang of the firm Gibson Dunn & Crutcher to lead an investigation into what administrators knew about the dean. Yang’s findings remain secret nearly two years after she was tapped for the inquiry. USC has repeatedly declined to share any portion of Gibson Dunn’s report, and it has not said whether the report will ever become public.A USC spokesman said “the results of the Gibson Dunn review have been presented to the Board of Trustees and select faculty leaders,” adding that “significant reforms” had been implemented based on its conclusions.

Okay KeckMedUSC I literally have $204,000 worth of student loans from graduating as a Trojan and I’m apoplectic because I know that my parents’ and my hard-earned money went to Puliafito & more. Hard to stay true to my Trojan loyalty when y’all keep being shady. Disgusting.

Just adding up the Kudos for an esteemed bastion of education and principle.

And this is why we see the Bigpharma proganda & corruption around the mandatory vaccine laws. Vaccines are the cash cow as they can be 'fast tracked' and Bigpharma has NO liability for injuries!

Only rich people get paid when they’re fired.

USC keeps fuckin up

'DEAN' da 'dulce $ueno'...
