Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 327791, member: 40"] The PedSt folks should be thanking their lucky stars that their attorney negotiated their way out of a four year death penalty, and that lesser sanctions were imposed. The BOT might not be pleased that the President of the University signed off on the lesser sanctions without full board input, but they are losing sight of the bigger picture if that's what they are bitching about. They continue to act like THEY are the victims in this situation, and by doing so are inadvertently tightening the noose around the program's [and by the transitive property, the university's] neck. And the more they continue to act out--not just the BOT, but also the fan base--the more apparent it will be how this collective was able to culturally to allow decades worth of child sexual abuse to occur. Which may in turn result in far more onerous penalties being imposed to bring about the cultural changes that are needed. [/QUOTE]
