It is fair to criticize the board for things like that. The original post criticizes the board for trying to do their job. I would go further to say the PC atmosphere at PSU and other colleges reap nothing but bitter fruit.
If there were an award for taglines then I’d like to nominate you.
I specifically acknowledged that a Board of Trustees is a governing body and has an interest in perserving the image and financial stability of the institution. Some posters appear to believe that is the sole responsibility. I’m not entirely naive, having sat in on and advised some large boards of directors in cases involving federal criminal investigations. Sometimes boards also take actions because they are right at significant short-term financial cost. I’ve seen it done.
I was surprised that alumni and other gifts and donations tripled in the approximately three weeks after the indictments If there were an indictment of two employees of the Republican National Committee for covering up the homosexual child rape by a retired employee at RNC headquarters, I would be surprised to see contributions to the Republicans immediately triple.
I doubt that would happen at the Red Cross or even Planned Parenthood under similar circumstances. But it did at Penn State.
And, your comments about the PSU board are on the money.
The Pennsylvania ping list has nothing to do with you and is not specific to Penn State matter.
But being paranoid, are they or aren't they out to get me? That I ask in jest. But I am looking behind the chair.
Some of them agree with you in whole or part.
I was working yesterday when this was posted and missed it until now. Do you know if someone is compiling a ping list for Sandusky updates?
If you want on it, however, you'll get a lot of other Pa. related items.
No, I don’t want to be on the PA ping list. Thanks anyway. Sorry to bother you.
No prob.
