It was growing late on the night of Nov. 9, 2011. John P. Surma, the chief executive of U.S. Steel and the vice chairman of Penn State University’s board of trustees, sat at a rectangular table at the Penn Stater Hotel. Gov. Tom Corbett of Pennsylvania was on the speaker phone. Other trustees were present, many emotionally spent.
The board, scrambling to address the child sexual abuse scandal involving the university and its football program, had already decided to remove Graham B. Spanier as president. Then, many of those present recalled this week, the tension in the room mounted. Joe Paterno’s future was next up. Surma announced that an agreement appeared to have been reached to fire Paterno, too — the trustees having determined that he had failed to take adequate action when he was told that one of his longtime assistants had been seen molesting a 10-year-old boy in Paterno’s football facility.
Surma, those present recalled, surveyed the other trustees — there are 32 — for their opinions and emotions before asking one last question: “Does anyone have any objections? If you have an objection, we’re open to it.”
No one in the room spoke. There was silence from the phone speakers. Paterno’s 46-year tenure as head coach of one of the country’s storied college football programs was over, and the gravity of the action began to sink in.

Ping!
Now who’s going to fire the trustees?
Spare me.
The Board should be replaced as well.
Oh my! The poor dears. They've been through SO much.
Why, they've been victimized every bit as much by this scandal as the children who were raped and molested by Sandusky.
"Painful" decision my a$$ -- These people should STFU do their jobs.
For what exactly?
Edmund Burke
Just when you think you've heard and seen it all....something horrific like this happens.
What did the board know and when did they know it....
Nothing like being blindsided with a situation like this one.
Probably there were regular PS “densitization” classes under the guise of “erasing discrimination”.......with a hidden agenda to make child sex acceptable-—which explains why Paterno was not alarmed.
BE AWARE There is a HUGE push to normalize pedophilia-—they have been organizing for years. When one pedophile surfaces, you can be sure there are many others lurking around.
Keep in mind, these evil souless predators are amazingly persuasive — and take pride in their ability to dupe people without displaying their true nature.
People are easily taken in by these calculatedly charming, persuasive predators. Pedophiles entice their victims by gaining their trust.......the same way they get people to cover for them. The judge in the notorious Penn State case actually let Sandusky go free-—another sign WRT how easily predators dupe people into being their willing enablers.
REALTIME CAUTIONARY TALE It was recently revealed -—— an alarmed mother found Sandusky took her son out of class without her permission on three occasions. When she approached the school, she was told she was being unduly alarmed, b/c, school officials reminded her, “Jerry has a heart of gold. “ The mom insisted they call the police. But the braindead dupes talked her out of reporting it b/c “that would hurt poor Jerry,” they said.
REFERENCE Even left-leaning college administrators are starting to have second thoughts about the excesses of “gay-friendly” atmospheres on campus........these pedophile-havens have held numerous “homo-sensitivity training” sessions on campus......(read indoctrination).
Penn State’s prez Graham Spanier-—a human sexuality scholar-—actually held what he called a “C***fest” on campus and installed a special tent just to indoctrinate WRT homo sex practices.
Spanier is out as prez-—but he and his wife are still on the PS payroll as tenured profs.
Spanier also advocated wife-swapping——could be the reason why M/M Spanier are still getting paychecks-—they must have some hair-raising stories to tell WRT group sex play on the PS campus.
So, they all got together, held each other’s hands, reassured each other that they were really smart and neat guys — and then decided to scapegoat Joe without having all of the evidence in. Then, just to show that they were also courageous, they chose to inform him by phone.
What a bunch of cowardly, disgraceful limp-you-know-whats!
As far as I’m concerned, JoPa should be brought back for a day and allowed to retire with dignity at an on-campus rally held on his behalf.
And the board capons should all be brought up on the stage — to be tarred, feathered, and ridden off campus on a rail.
While not excusing Paterno's lack of action years earlier, this was a totally classless way to fire a man who had faithfully served the university for 61 years, put it on the map and contributed $4 million of his own money.
The far bigger villain in this whole sorry episode was Graham Spanier, the architect of Penn State's homosexual tolerance policy which contributed far more to this affair than any inaction on Paterno's part. He was given the notice in person more than 12 hours before the news conference and, indeed, had a prepared statement to distribute to the media immediately afterward.
The trustee excuses that they did not want to create a media frenzy by going to Paterno's house or meeting with him in person was a crock. The set the timetable for the news conference. They determined the timing of the delivery of the message to his home. It would have been very simple to have either (a)delivered the message to call to Paterno's house far earlier, (b)put off the news conference until later or (c)even called a second news conference for the next day and explained that a decision was still pending on Paterno's fate at the first news conference.
The did none of these things because they wanted to take the heat off Graham Spanier and his construction of a PC homo tolerant administration. They wanted to put Joe Paterno and the football program at Penn State on trial instead.
Firing Clueless Joe shouldn't have been a difficult decision.
Spanier should already have been fired over the Michael Mann coverup.
a bunch of homos, the entire penn state crowd
Paterno should be in jail too as an accessory. He knew of this, and did nothing.
It would be a start if they actually fired him. He still draws a salary and lives in university housing
Onedoug, I agreed with you at the outset. But, as more of the full story unfolded, I realized that he did precisely what most people would have done in the same situation: he reported what he heard to those whose job it was to deal with the situation. And please keep in mind: we now know that he was not told of the sodomizing — he was told that Sandusky was frolicking with kids in the locker room.
Perhaps like you, I, too, would have confronted Sandusky (in my case, likely with a two-by-four in hand, just in case). But, in a hard left, politically correct atmosphere like that created by the Penn State pres at the time (discrimination against homosexuals was considered a cardinal sin), you can’t really blame JoPa for following established procedures.
To me, the people who belong in jail are the trustees. But, then, I consider cowardice a cardinal sin.
Actually, financially Paterno was treated as if he retired at the end of the season, and he lives in a modest home he owns just off campus.
Precisely. Absent the students, State College is just another small, rural Central PA town. There is no way at least some BOTs members did not know about Sandusky.
They’re all complicit by what they did or did not do.
I’ve been communicating with a Penn State Alumni Assn. executive. He is in denial. He really believes the abuse of those boys, and subsequent coverup, is an individual—not institutional—problem.
In addition to the abuse I pointed out to him that PSU was a committed PC institution with a stake in the global warming scam. Two of its professors (one named Mann) have been in the forefront of the fake science necessary to give the theory credibility. He was caught on email discussing how to “fix” results that did not support global warming “science”. The executive told me Mann had been investigated by—guess who—the University and cleared.
I spoke with the father of a current PSU student. A sophomore or junior I think. As a freshman he attended a mandatory PC orientation. A lesbian was brought in from New York to discuss her life or some such with the students. I guess there were no lesbians they could have tapped at Penn State or in State College.
Penn State’s moral and intellectual corruption runs wide and deep.
For the record, I’m a very ashamed Penn State grad—’65. The school was very different back then. I was once proud of my PSU diploma. I inadvertantly wore a PSU sweastshirt to the gym soon after this news broke. Upon realizing it, I turned it inside out.
The really sad part is that there does not appear to be any entity that can fix Penn State. PA is a hard blue state. What’s wrong with the school reflects the will of the voters who make it so.
To be fair, Penn State is not alone in its depravity. I venture to say most universities—are wallowing int he same morass. The difference is that nothing has happened—or been made public—to bring it to the surface.
Don't forget that closet homos are to be found in every walk of life at every level.And they always take care of their own.
Fumbling a decision to take action on a felow pervert is one way that can be accomplished.
