He was just head of the department.
Why would the VP of Finance be involved in discussions concerning a report of a sex with a minor?
No. He was NOT head of the department.
That is why Curley is being charged with not reporting the offense. He did NOT report it to the police.
Maybe because the University might be sued? Schultz was the Senior Vice President of Business and Finance.
One of the department that reported to him was the University Police. Neither Schultz nor Curley (nor Paterno nor McQueary) ever reported the 2002 incident to the University Police or any law enforcement or child protective agency. Neither Schultz nor Curley (nor Paterno nor McQueary) ever tried to find out the name of the child anally raped in the Penn State football showers.
The apologists who say that Schultz was the head of the Penn State police are simply wrong. The head of the Penn State University Police reported to Schultz. The head of the FBI may report to Barack Obama, but that doesn't make Barack Obama the head of the FBI.
Schultz was there in a CYA mode. And he did so effectively . . . for nine years.
Duh. Curley reports to him.
