CNN says "Legendary Penn State coach Joe Paterno and school President Graham Spanier have lost their jobs effective immediately, university trustees announced. "
That sounds like fired. It's a start.
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Yeah, I read that the PSU President turned in a letter of resignation. Sounds like it was at the board's urging.
My friend who used to work there said that Spanier ate, drank, and breathed PSU so this will be a tough situation for him.
Oh well.

Ugh, Suzi.
Spanier's statement: [link]
Disgusting. He signed-off on barring Sandusky from bringing minors on campus but still he's shocked, shocked that anything untoward may have prompted such a bizarre step.
Man, and it just keeps getting worse. I'm ready to drink myself into oblivion tonight. CJ is home and I'm trying to put up a good front cause he doesn't need to be in the middle of this.

Students are starting to gather outside the administration building, chanting "fuck the board." Estimate last night was 1,000 students rallying downtown, but they mostly went home when they saw the police show up with riot gear. I hope nothing happens tonight.
I really don't get it.
No matter what your loyalties, raping children ought to ping your conscience. Raise some red flags. It should check you.
When you hear that one of your coaches is fucking a 10 year old boy against his will in the locker room? You should want to put that coach in jail.
Your first thought should not be: "I need to protect the university!"
Followed by: "Hey, I know that guy and I should protect him."
Anyway, I'm sure the gist of the Trustees meeting was along that line.
Students are starting to gather outside the administration building, chanting "fuck the board."
Well, fuck them. Dumbass tribal loyalties. Grow a pair of ethics, kids.
