[T]he forces that conspired to allow Sandusky free rein on the campus of Pennsylvania State University for way too long are just as guilty as Sandusky. If prosecuted and convicted, they will be found guilty of different crimes, but had they acted differently fewer children would have been molested.
… While Sandusky can be easily put away as a rogue freak who passed among us, Schultz, Curley, and Spanier were the very cloth of the community, and if that can be rended, what does it say about the community? If the all-encompassing influence over the region – Penn State – can be demonstrated to be morally bankrupt at its core, then what about the rest of us?
… Spanier, Schultz, and Curley were acting as administrators for Penn State, and if they go down in court, the school will have serious civil exposure as a result.
