Institutions can't be punished. It always boils down to people. That's why corporations have the right to give money to politicians... corporations are just people. Institutions are people. Eliminating an institution might be an efficient way of dealing with a large number of individuals, but efficiency isn't the point of justice.

And on another note, I doubt it will curb future abuses. Do you really think that Sandusky would have decided against raping boys if he would have only realized he might bring down an institution? Same with the people who covered for him. Instead, it was exactly the opposite. Their fear of bringing down the institution prompted them to cover for him.

In the end, it is always about individuals, and their faulty thinking, and their selfish evil. Destroy them, and let the institutions they perverted be overtaken by good people who create good because they have to overcome the evil that is associated with their name.

No.

Which is why it was incumbent on Penn State to act. They didn't. Boys continued to be raped. That is why we are having this conversation.
