Why should a 27 year old grad student be put in a position to correct a situation that should have been addressed by a the State of Pennsylvania, the President of the University and the Board of Regents 4 years prior?
Every story that attacks McQueary’s and Paterno’s credibility is only going to help Sandusky walk.
The focus should be on the tenure system and how it protects people like Sandusky.
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.
