"For over two decades, Robert Hadden abused patients inside of one of the most prestigious medical institutions in this country. This investigation barely scratches the surface of what a real accounting should look like. It is not a genuine attempt to confront the truth. It is a box-checking exercise, and survivors deserve better."
"Robert Hadden, who worked at Columbia University's medical center and New York Presbyterian Hospital, has been found liable for sexually assaulting hundreds of female patients between 1987 and 2012, when allegations against him began surfacing. Columbia has paid out over $1 billion across over 1,000 sexual assault claims related to Hadden over the years."
Dr. Robert Hadden, a former OBGYN physician at Columbia University's medical center and New York Presbyterian Hospital, sexually assaulted hundreds of female patients over 25 years between 1987 and 2012. Columbia University released an investigation report addressing these assaults, but elected officials, students, professors, and survivors condemned it as inadequate and a cover-up attempt. They characterized the report as superficial box-checking rather than genuine accountability. Columbia has paid over $1 billion in settlements across more than 1,000 sexual assault claims related to Hadden. Protesters demanded that New York's highest law enforcement officer conduct a more comprehensive investigation into the university's handling of these crimes.
