But if proctor & gamble allowed something evil to go on in the corporation, the whole thing will suffer. Stock down, layoffs of innocent low level employees...these are natural consequences and that is happening at penn state. And it makes sense. Sadly.
That actually is a good point. I guess I ONLY feel for the students especially the seniors. Trust me I don’t feel sorry for the Administration at all.
Let’s get some sanity into this discussion! We are talking about thousands, and tens of thousands, of people who are indirectly smeared in this process.When you get to talking about withdrawing accreditation, for pete’s sake, you are going to the jugular of the university.I remind you of the “Duke 88” professors who sought to throw the entire membership of the Duke Lacrosse Team under the bus - and some to prison - on the basis of non-credible, shifting, unsubstantiated charges by a person who had plenty of motive to lie and was in a “profession” not devoted to the highest values in society.
You knew, if you were sentient, that Nifong was railroading those young men - and yet 88 professors of Duke University were fully on board for a witch hunt. What have we heard about the accreditation of Duke in response to that! Penn State faculty has Michael Mann, he of the infamous Global Warming “Hockey Stick” graph, and no accreditation question attaches to that.
Yet in the case of Penn State football, sanctimony oozes from every pore of the politically correct, and even among many FReepers. It would make about as much sense to condemn the Duke Basketball Team for the abuses of the Duke Faculty as it does to withdraw accreditation from Peen State because of a rat in the football program.
