Nike has no plans to change the name of the Joe Paterno Center, a child day care facility on the World Headquarters Campus near Beaverton, in response to a sexual abuse scandal involving one of Paterno's former Penn State University assistants, a Nike spokeswoman said this evening.

Steph, for REALS? I know it's real; I believe you. But I am drop-jawed with disbelief. WTSweetFF? Jesus, the stupid, it burns with the heat of a supernova. DAMN.
I can't really speak about Penn State because my rage is so off the charts.
Yep.
When I was a college admin, I wasn't a mandated reporter. I worked mainly with students on academic issues, and as an instructor, I taught. That said, I made a lot of suggestions to seek guidance for emotional issues from campus psych services for various issues, and mandated-reporter at that job or no, my boss was amazing, and if I'd reported to her something similar, she and I would have been balls to the wall screaming our bloody heads off about it, hush-hush be damned.
God bless her progressive, hella smart, ex-hippie assertive heart.

The main campus also has a child care center named for Schultz, one of the administrators charged. It just opened a month or two ago.

Student body president addressing students now. "We are the ones that must restore glory to Penn State." And many many more repetitions of the "We are!" "Penn State!" cheer.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
"We are the ones that must restore glory to Penn State."
What does that mean? Is that supporting the student protest and riots?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Among the things I know how to do are a) call 911 on behalf of a stranger and b) hit people. I don't know what I'd do on the spot, but I'd like to think rape is more of consent to get punched in the face than signing a krav contract. I just...I'd hate to imagine living being that person. Like any of them.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
They should put off "glory" until they've mastered the basics of "right and wrong."

No, it's saying to quit rioting and act respectable, because somebody on this campus ought to.

Great tagline, Hec. Love that Soft Boys song.

Always Anti-fascist!
We haven't really been following the story, comparatively. (And I don't really know who Paterno is, so it's weird to me watching grown-ass people act like they found out there's no Football Santa Claus.) My mother wondered why the graduate student didn't "kick the assistant's ass", much less fail to call the law. I mean, it's one thing to have That Employee(my mom has one at her job right now, and it's NFG) whom you sort of think might be...untoward in those kinds of ways, it's another to witness things.
