unpopular opinion: pretty trash reason to strip the program of accreditation. You want to blame someone, blame the dude not the program.

If the guy did something wrong, sue him in court and don't be an inconsiderate ass by dragging the entire program down. If you can provide sufficient evidence the guy will definitely get what he deserves (especially in the biased trigger happy courts of the post metoo movement) but now all that's been done is that the program has lost its accreditation and for what? The alleged misbehavior of a single person? When has it been alright to judge a professional on the basis of behavior and not results alone? If a doctor conducts murder by shooting someone in the head, who judges him? The courts or a panel of fellow doctors? Why then is this any different? Dude is potentially a sex offender that just happened to be a doctor; any system that feels it is perfectly alright to mix that 2 aspects up is one that has far overstepped its boundaries. The law does not judge doctors on how well they perform as doctors because it is the responsibility of other doctors to do so and neither should other doctors arbitrarily decide on and matters of morality and legality. What then furthermore of the matter of communal punishment? Would you whip a sibling for the crime committed by his brother? There are so many staggering ethical issues within the decision itself.

Also, dude isn't even convicted yet and ACGME is already jumping the gun; what happened to due process? Does the mere mention of sexual assault immediately damn the accused? Is the concept of innocent until proven guilty but a joke then? The metoo movement went too far, sexual assault ALLEGATIONS are now like a fucking witch hunt; before evidence is presented the peasants have already gotten their pitchforks out ready to dish out some good ol penetrative trauma. What would you do if you realize the dude was innocent? How would you compensate him for his loss? What has this world come to that such stupidity is celebrated?

If this indeed is the sole reason the ACGME has revoked USC's accreditation then if anything, everyone should be worried. Should a council of medical professionals not judge their own solely on the basis of performance in the aspect to which they were initially elected? What gives them the right or authority to judge their own on something which they cannot be guaranteed to be unbiased over and experts in? It is a slippery slope, today its sexual assault that gets you the hammer but what will tomorrow bring? If you are blind to tyranny now, do not be surprised when you become a victim of it.
