In 2015, a former employee of AMI-USC filed a lawsuit against the institute, USC, and two of AMI-USC's executives. The plaintiff accused the institute of sexual harassment and wrongful termination. The plaintiff was represented by The Bloom Firm, led by attorney Lisa Bloom. The case was settled via arbitration.[6][7][8]
In 2023, AMI-USC was effectively dissolved by the USC administration. The institute's operations, management, staff, and volunteer Board of Directors were terminated after prior notification. Control over any remaining financial assets was transferred to USC Research and Innovation (OORI). [9][10] AMI-USC no longer operates as an independent 501c(3) non-profit organization.
