The alumni trustees are trying to expose the dirty dealings among some 11-11 trustees, Freeh and the NCAA, and the 11-11 trustees will have none of that.<br /><br />Penn State is even using Freeh's tactic of accusing the alumni trustees of wrongdoing and then refusing to make their evidence public. They want the judge to keep it under seal.

If it was just money, PSU would still be fighting.Ray Bleharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14557326921056183979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260510730184507282.post-1576582593041464502015-05-07T15:09:22.760-04:002015-05-07T15:09:22.760-04:00Let us not forget that paradigm of virtue, Lanny D...Let us not forget that paradigm of virtue, Lanny Davis. Funny how protecting some peoples' "rights" is expensive and others' a waste of money. PSU is becoming perilously side-track...having built a moat around rich alumni while providing no drawbridge for academic integrity, let alone the truth. PSU is a corporation. That is a fact. Time they start acting like an honest one.

Thanks Ray for your tireless efforts to expose the treachery of Barron and his handlers. Write on!

I thought only victim 9 had gotten the Freeh documents in discovery so it may be only one victim who got the "extraordinary" payout.<br /><br />I thought Penn State was still filing motions in the victim 6 lawsuit after the undisclosed settlement was announced.<br /><br />Tim Bertonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06534135581401662154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260510730184507282.post-89494722447713672862015-05-07T02:39:02.543-04:002015-05-07T02:39:02.543-04:00Well done as usual.

The alumni trustees were right to object. At least one alumni trustee should have been on each of the nominating committees in the first place. Their exclusion smacks of marginalization of the alumni trustees.<br /><br />It is standard practice that any faculty member in an academic dept. can review all the applications for an open faculty position. A similar practice should be standard for the Board of Trustees.<br /><br /><br /> Tim Bertonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06534135581401662154noreply@blogger.com
