This article, from Dec 2011, discusses the how and why, in his own words, that Ken Frazier came to lead the BoT's effort to deal with the blowback from the Sandusky case. Perhaps Frazier should be asked to revisit these remarks and comment on his satisfaction with what he's accomplished. Namely, that (1) the Sandusky Scandal was transformed into the Penn State Scandal; and (2) the real problem of PA's failed approach to child protection has gone unexamined! rdkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11007253694089460950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260510730184507282.post-64232256961716175982013-03-18T02:36:51.526-04:002013-03-18T02:36:51.526-04:00I also sent in a complaint.I also sent in a complaint.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12098179437742008271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260510730184507282.post-28512791955766448722013-03-17T18:30:27.806-04:002013-03-17T18:30:27.806-04:00Thanks for the heads up, Wendy.

Jeff Grimm's letter to Merck posted on this referenced article (Mar 17, 3:30) hits well on key points that should matter to Merck.<br /><br />I love the Penn Staters' approach to problem-solving.

These guys need to realize that Frazier's continued presence on the BOT is a liability and will hurt them in the only place they care, the bottom line.HKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02589150826396026926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2260510730184507282.post-30499830450585695772013-03-17T00:59:57.752-04:002013-03-17T00:59:57.752-04:00Hello Eileen,
Here is my MERCK Report Number: ME...Hello Eileen, <br /><br />Here is my MERCK Report Number: MERCK-13-03-0049. And here is what I wrote in the form as the issue:<br /><br />That a Chairman of the Board of a major U.S. ethical pharmaceutical company should make such a racist remark, in a public forum (PSU Trustees Meeting), is absolutely disgraceful and totally unacceptable. Here are his exact words, "We are not subject to the criminal beyond-a-reasonable-doubt standard, and you're a lawyer, so you can stop pretending that you think we are, Mr. Frazier told Mr. Cluck. Mr. Frazier went on to say "We can take employment actions, we can take corrective actions without any need to resort to so-called due process, reasonable doubt standard, and I don't care if they are acquitted. And you know the difference." Mr. Frazier continued by saying, "If you cared about that, you are one of the few people in this country that LOOKS LIKE YOU who actually believes the O.J. Simpson not guilty verdict was correct."<br /><br />This is unbelievable, can you imagine, a White person telling an African American person in any statement or context "....that LOOKS LIKE YOU....." Any way you cut it, Mr. Frazier made a racist remark in a very disparaging way towards Mr. Cluck. In turn many of Mr. Cluck's supporter, and those of us who believe in civil discourse, and who use Merck products were offended. I speaking for myself, and some others demand nothing less than a public written apology (on Merck Letterhead) from Mr. Frazier for his disgusting remarks. <br /><br />Trust me on this next statement. There are many people in the State of Pennsylvania and the nation who are Merck customers that are disgusted by Mr. Frazier's behavior and attitudes. I will await your response.
