PennState
I think the coach was not brought up on charges because everyones stories are different and they do not add up to his charges.
Do you think Coach Paterno should have been fired because he did the correct think legally but not morally?
I think he should have been fired because these are the correct steps pennstate has to follow so they do not look like the bad guys.
Why do you think the President of the University participated in the coverup?
I believe the President might have been told about these stories but never believed them and refused to look into it then.
Who are the real victims here, the staff or the ten boys molested or even the football players or a combination?
The real victims here are everyone around the boys including the boys themselves. They all have to go through the troubles with the boys as well, like their parents too.
Do you think an organization such as Penn State has the right to do what it take to protect its name even if a crime as been committed? Be aware there are many documented cases of this occurring both nationally and globally.

I think they definitely have to do whatever it takes for them to secure their name. There is many moneys at stake with this whole situation. Not only will pennstate suffer but also all they employees that are being supported by pennstate.

Penn State
Why do think the Coach Sandusky was never arrested and brought up on charges even though witnesses has seen him molest a 10 year old boy, in 2002?
I think that people were trying to protect themselves. When someone witnesses something like this there is a lot of responsibility that goes into coming forward with the information. I’m sure that the people who did witness this thought they would get fired from their job, or be ostracized for coming forward. These thoughts came before their responsibility to speak up for someone who clearly did not have a voice to.
Do you think Coach Paterno should have been fired because he did the correct think legally but not morally?
Yes, if Paterno went beyond what was minimally required of him when he reported on what he saw, he could have prevented another child being hurt.
Why do you think the President of the University participated in the cover up?
I think the president was trying to protect the universites reputation as well as his own job.
Who are the real victims here; the staff or the ten boys molested or even the football players or a combination?
The victims are the 10 boys who were molested, they are the ones who have suffered the most throughout this whole ordeal.

When a companies image is more important than being responsible to the community and the people they serve, then that is a problem. How do you know when to draw the line? It shows that the organization is more concerned with the bottom line than the people in the company.

Do you think Coach Paterno should have been fired because he did the correct think legally but not morally?
-Coach Paterno should not have been fired because he did his job and notified the people who should have taken care of the matter.
Why do you think the President of the University participated in the coverup?
-I think the president participated in the cover up because he did not want to ruin the reputation of the university and make these allegations public.
Who are the real victims here, the staff or the ten boys molested or even the football players or a combination?
-The real victims are the ten boys molested; they were violated.

-I think that maters like this need to be handled in the most professional way possible; the leaders of the organization need to take steps to secure these problems are handled accordingly. If cover ups continue to happen these organizations will lose the status they worked so hard to cover up. Leaders need to take the necessary action to up hold the organizations name as well as its reputation.
Crime at Penn State
Why do think the Coach Sandusky was never arrested and brought up on charges even though witnesses has seen him molest a 10 year old boy, in 2002?
I would think that many people who already knew about the rapes did not say anything to protect the image of the university, its faculty and staff as well as other students. Another reason could be bribery; they might have been paid to stay quiet for the sake of the image of the university and other benefits at steak.
Do you think Coach Paterno should have been fired because he did the correct think legally but not morally?
Yes, moral values in my eye has higher values than legal values, since I think laws are written according to the taste of a handful group of wealthy men while moral values are universal and usually similar among people as all humans belong to the same species.
Why do you think the President of the University participated in the cover up?
He probably weighed out the pros and cons of the matter and realized that if this issue goes public it will ruin the image of the university and might have other financial losses to the university.
Who are the real victims here; the staff or the ten boys molested or even the football players or a combination?
The teenage boys are the real victims here as nobody stood up to protect them against this cruel crime. No child should ever experience this humiliation.

Be aware there are many documented cases of this occurring both nationally and globally. Many hundreds of jobs have been saved by companies who have done at any costs what it takes to protect their image.
In my opinion, Penn State has no right what so ever to cover up a crime as cruel as this. The university has obviously ignored the dignity of those innocent boys just to protect its name. no matter how many jobs could be saved by covering up these sort of crimes, it is still no justification for what happened and it actually opens doors for more crimes if everybody thinks that by covering up, they are protecting jobs.Say No to Covering Corruption
I feel that some of the witnesses probably did try to advice some of the staff members, so that they would take action on the problem. They probably didn’t do it themselves thinking that a “famous coach word” would be more credible than their own. Many other witnesses just didn’t care for these innocent children, but instead probably for their own jobs and not having to put them on risk for accusing a well-known coach.
Do you think Coach Paterno should have been fired because he did the correct think legally but not morally?
I think so because even though he was trying to cover up and at the same time defend the image of the university because he knew that a scandal like this one would have definitely affect the university, he should have thought about these poor helpless children, who were being violated by a corrupted coach.
Why do you think the President of the University participated in the cover-up?
Probably because this scandal would affect not only the image of the university, but would also put his job at risk since by people finding out about the type of workers hired at this university, not many would like to attend. It can also be that he didn’t care for Sandusky’s victims but instead for his relationship with him.
Who are the real victims here; the staff or the ten boys molested or even the football players or a combination?
I feel that the real victims are the ten boys molested because they had to go through a horrible abuse that would scar their lives forever.

Be aware there are many documented cases of this occurring both nationally and globally.

I don’t think they have the right to cover a crime just to protect the name of their organization. They putting in risk lives of innocent people, and if corruption is the way an organization works than this one should not even exist. I mean I know that there are also many jobs at risk but if was being hidden is an act of violation to innocent people I don’t feel that covering up for it is the right thing to do.
