USC faculty members are pushing their leadership to demand an independent investigation into allegations that university administrators maintained “shadow files” on employees and utilized their accountability office to retaliate against professors who spoke out against them.

Larry Gross, a professor who represents the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism on the Academic Senate, said the investigation is expected to be raised at the body’s meeting Wednesday, either on its agenda or through discussion.
