Their accreditation standard? This is nuts. What is the connection?
And yet their disgraced ex-president gets a double secret job at Homeland Security. They must have a pedophile division at DHS. Probably—because DHS has been outed as a perversion outfit recently.
The State Penn needs to fire the Noted Wife Swapping Studies Scholar and former prezzy, Spanier.
IMHO...not sure why Penn state is even in business still....at the very least their entire board needs flushing.
PA Ping!

Most Recent Commission Action:
August 6, 2012: To warn the institution that its accreditation is in jeopardy based on information contained in the institutionally commissioned Report of the Special Investigative Counsel (Freeh, Sporkin & Sullivan, LLP, July 12, 2012) and the Binding Consent Decree Imposed by the National Collegiate Athletic Association and Accepted by the Pennsylvania State University (July 23, 2013) and insufficient evidence that the institution is currently in compliance with the Requirements of Affiliation 5 (compliance with all applicable government policies, regulations, and requirements) and 9 (institution's governing body responsibility for the quality and integrity of the institution, for ensuring that the institution's mission is being carried out, and for making freely available to the Commission accurate, fair, and complete information on all aspects of the institution and its operations) and with Standard 4 (Leadership and Governance) and Standard 6 (Integrity). To note that the institution remains accredited while on warning.
It has become clear: never turn your back on a Nittany Lion.
I hate Penn sTATe football. I despise Sandusky and anyone who may have covered for him. I still can’t believe Paterno was complicit.
But at some point the world has to wake up to the fact that this was the act of one sick individual and perhaps some oficials who didn’t act properly and in conformance with the law.
Taking away their accreditation is more than assigning guilt by association, it is punishment by association and it is ridiculous.
Interesting to look at the Big 10 (now 12) standings and see that two teams in one division are already ineligible for the bowls. Ohio State and Penn State will both be home for the holidays because of judgements against them.
This is, supposedly, a conference that prides itself on its integrity yet two of their marquee programs are serving sentences in the NCAA penalty box.
