Exactly what I was thinking. No one believes he just decided to retire....he is being forced out.

If what we are reading is true he should be forced out today. He will only hurt himself more by having the camera's on him the rest of the year.
I can not believe the Penn State board is letting him stay.
Yes sad but much sadder is a sexual predator was allowed to maintain an office at Penn State under Joe's watch and after Joe knew what happened.

Just wrong to let him stay. He did what was legally right to report it to his supervisor, but if you were told that an employee of yours had been seen in the shower, in a comprising situation with a 10 year old, would you not report it to the police? I think Joe is an egomaniac, otherwise he would have retired long ago. And I think he just didn't want any dispersions cast on his program. Screw the 10 year old boys....unfortunately mentally and physically.

I don't think he did the right thin moraly or legally. I believe he didn't givenyhe full details of what was relayed to him to his superiors. He reported something, but didn't report exactly what was told to him.
He needs to go today. So does anyone that witnessed what was happening an didn't stop it while it was going on! I still can't fathom the thought of walking in on this and not stopping it immediately any more than I can fathom not reporting it to the police once someone that learned of some of the details.
