It seems from your link like CFAR has taken responsibility, taken corrective action, and states how they’ll do everything in their power to avoid a similar abuse incident in the future.
I think in general the way to deal with abuse situations within an organization is to identify which authority should be taking appropriate disciplinary action regarding the abuser’s role and privileges. A failure to act there, like CFAR’s admitted process failure that they later corrected, would be concerning if we thought it was still happening.
If every abuse is being properly disciplined by the relevant organization, and the rate of abuse isn’t high compared to the base rate in the non-rationalist population, then the current situation isn’t a crisis—even if some instances of abuse unfortunately involve the perpetrator referencing rationality or EA concepts.
