In an organization as big as HC, you're going to have people that cause problems, that's not unique to HC or any other organization, and that's not the issue.
The issue is that instead of speaking publicly about those people/incidents, and trying to prevent more in the future, they chose to cover it up, which creates a terrible culture.
For most organizations the problem was that there was an incident, and fixing it would mean doing what they can to make sure it didn't happen again.
For HC the problem was that people might find out there was an incident, and fixing it meant making sure no one did.

Yeah. And I’m not sure that their mandate necessarily extended to settling for anyone other than themselves. In other words, they probably could have settled on behalf of the organization to remove themselves from the suit (and TBF the liability of the organization would have been the weakest part of the case). Instead, they settled on behalf of the participants and tried to ensure that, via an NDA, the allegations would never surface. An alternative - a settlement to compensate the accuser, plus an open investigation and programs to be better in the future.
