HOW HAS PENN STATE UNIVERSITY GROWN?
There has been, undoubtedly, much debate over what discipline if any should have been given to PSU. There are those that called for the harshest punishment and sanctions possible all the way to those that feel there shouldn’t be any. Never the less, the university has been punished and they actually have come a long way from the scandal. There are 2 main issues remaining: 1) How much should future students, players and administrators be punished for acts they had nothing to do with? 2) What is being done by the school to help fight sexual abuse?
