It’s called being a Good Samaritan. It’s called moral courage. It’s called being a responsible adult. Perhaps you’ve heard of these things?
Oh, and by the way, good luck to ya if you expect a policeman to be johnnie on the spot if someone assaults you—let alone “the university” or some other non-hiuman entity.
Certainly tenure is an issue in a system that rewards poor teaching performance. But I’m not sure Sandusky had tenure protection. I’ll have to check that out.
That said the Sandusky/Penn State pedophilia scandal is first and formost a moral issue. Therefore, all the people who aided, abetted or otherwise participated in the the deranged crimes—including the coverup—should be apprehended, charged, prosecuted, sentenced and put in jail for as long as the law allows. I personaslly feel that putting them all up agsinst a wall and publicly shooting them would be far more effective deterring some of these miscreants.
I’m having difficulty understanding how fixing the tenure problem takes presidance over sanctioning criminal behavior. Please enlighten me.
Had Sandusky been banned from campus, and had his tenure revoked back in 1999, when Paterno removed him as Defensive Coordinator, he would have lost access to the Penn State facilities.
If you remember correctly, these facilities were often used as bait when Sandusky raped children.
Paterno did everything he was empowered to do... he removed Sandusky as DC.
The state of Pennsylvania... dropped the ball on this in the name of diversity.
