It would appear Penn State violated the Clear Act since each and every person who draws pay from the University who knew about this was required to report it to the police, by law that is. Yet somehow no one did. Amazing how that happened, huh? The US Department of Education told them on Wednesday they were starting an investigation into their failure to comply. Guess who got a sudden axe right after that announcement? Hint: It's the same person they had said mere hours before they weren't going to be making any decisions about until a special committee had a chance to review the matter on Friday.

Then there's the whole moral and ethical obligations which we're supposed to have for one another as productive members of society. There's no denying those were ignored as they let a child molester continue to molest for YEARS rather than make a fuss and draw unfavorable attention to the program. There's no way what that selfish bastard did was the right thing. I'm glad the Feds are going after him. Even if it's just a pittance of justice for each act of abuse a child suffered after Paterno chose not to intervene on their behalf.
