Nope. USC seems to be having difficulty getting the insurance to pay. An article from 2023 states:

"USC is suing a group of Chubb insurance companies, alleging they breached a contract to fully compensate the university for millions of dollars paid to plaintiffs to settle the sexual abuse misconduct allegations involving former campus gynecologist Dr. George Tyndall" [he was the only full time gynecologist at the student health clinic from 1989 until 2016.]

Then there was another lawsuit that was quietly settled for an undisclosed amount. NPR reported, "The University of Southern California says it has reached a settlement with 80 former students who allege they were all sexually abused by a former campus doctor over the course of two decades.

Dennis Kelly, a former campus physician, left USC in 2018, and the following year, six male graduates came forward with allegations that Kelly engaged in inappropriate sexual conduct during appointments, such as rectal examinations."

Since it was a confidential settlement no one knows how much USC had to pay out. [/quote]
