What does this say about government unions, the tenure system, and the culture within colleges? all government unions? Isn’t this one of the powers that they have asked for - the ability to deal with problem employees in their own way? Had this stuff come out 2 weeks earlier, I doubt the Ohio ‘pro-union’ vote would have gone the same way...unless no one discusses the Penn State issue in this light.
Big institutions and big money buy their own version of integrity. They can turn wrong into right. The problem was never viewed as Sandusky (or the church) harming kids, but what would happen to the brand of these institutions, money flow and litigation if the actions were exposed.
Every effort was directed to keep the waters smooth and Sandusky’s actions covered up, and in the end I believe it will be found that many others including local law enforcement and state politicians at the highest levels are involved. The effort to cover-up will continue. Those in charge never learn that it is the cover-up that becomes the problem.
This corruption and favoritism in the name of protecting institutions and politics and money is at the crux of what is wrong with the USA.
These universities should be putting the emphasis on educating Americans most efficiently at best cost, and yet that is a low priority, after football, sports, staff compensation, great benefits such as staff being able to send their kids to college tuition free, etc.
