1. Why? They are used when there is some government impropriety |
|
What government actions call the PA State AG into question here?

3. No government actions that I know of but this is a criminal matter |

5. Unless something else shows up, I would be OK with someone from the State AGs office |

Independent prosecutors are very expensive and I do not know if PA State law supports them.

This was told to Penn State yesterday afternoon. I, personally, believe it is at least in part the reason for Paterno's rather abrupt firing last night before the "committee" they'd planned to review his case had even met.
edit for clarity

7. That would make sense because there seems to have been |
|
a violation of the Clery Act which requires these institutions to report incidents like this. I have had some experience with the Clery Act and I know that if the Dept of ED comes in, they involve the state AG and the local DA. Maybe that's enough to assure that this thing isn't dropped.
