JULY 17, 2017

During his tenure as dean, Puliafito kept company with a circle of criminals and drug users who said he used methamphetamine and other drugs with them, a Los Angeles Times investigation

Shot in 2015 and 2016, they show Puliafito and the others partying in hotel rooms, cars, apartments and the dean’s office at USC.

In one video, a tuxedo-clad Puliafito displays an orange pill on his tongue and says into the camera, “Thought I’d take an ecstasy before the ball.” Then he swallows the pill.

In another, Puliafito uses a butane torch to heat a large glass pipe outfitted for methamphetamine use. He inhales and then unleashes a thick plume of white smoke. Seated next to him on a sofa, a young woman smokes heroin from a piece of heated foil.

As dean, Puliafito oversaw hundreds of medical students, thousands of professors and clinicians, and research grants totaling more than $200 million. He was a key fundraiser for USC, bringing in more than $1 billion in donations, by his estimation.

Would you smoke meth with your eye surgeon?

  It amazes me that these people allow themselves to be filmed doing this shit.

Yo where the F are the vids tho.

And is he fucking the escort or just using her as a drug friend

The world needs to know

[ToxicAdam]

Looks like both. He became a regular of a 21 yr old prostitute and started partying with her group of friends.


He is(was?) married to another professional.

[brawndolicious]

Wait, he left the med school two months before my brother graduated.

He always said the curriculum was really fast and shallow.

You would be surprised. Being a medical professional and seeing people drugged is like watching your kids on the bouncy castle. You look bored and disinterested but the little voice in your head keeps telling you "fuck... wish i could do that".

Med School Dean 2020!

He was apparently still practicing medicine and hanging out with the escort up until Monday when this story came out. Pretty big black eye for my alma mater (although I didn't attend the med school).

[seagrams hotsauce]

Sounds like the plot of one of those shitty comedies that've been all the rage lately. "Dirty Dean, starring Dave Franco and Robert Deniro"

[Huff]

It feels a little weird that the story hasn't blow up more tbh

I live in Los Angeles and I don't know anyone who is talking about it. Not even the most anti USC people I know. It's on the news and stuff, but a lot of people don't seem to know about it.
