I agree. There are thousands of students and a lot of good professors and employees who had absolutely nothing to do with this and are probably equally, if not more appalled than we are. This should be treated as a criminal case and everyone who knew about and ignored or covered up the abuse should be dealt with according to the law - and certainly banished from any future association with Penn State. Now, I'm not sure if the educational system has licensing similar to medical or legal professions. But those convicted should have whatever credentials can be revoked, revoked. Perhaps part of any future probation would be a requirement to find employment outside the education system.
As heinous as these crimes, it was one man, assisted in hiding his crimes by a select few. I do not believe in penalizing current students, athletes and honest men and women who work at Penn State for the crimes that were committed in the past by someone else.
