This kind of predation harms not just the individual mentee, but also the university and the field of study.
His statements don’t acknowledge those harms.
Lawrence Summers:

… the issue.

I just watched the whole video, and not a single reporter stood up for her. Everyone just pivoted to asking questions on other topics.
This is shameful.

Some fired IGs have sued.
