Re: Former Penn State president Spanier was third highest paid

I'm curious why this perfectly valid comment by PA_observer was deleted by the CDT.

My dear GOP friends and JoePa worshipers;

Have you seen the story on the SERS pension payout to the Paterno estate.........$13.4M

http://www.pennlive.com/midsta...

I know it's wrong for a scumy unionized school teacher or a PennDOT
worker to get a pension (in the Tea Bag world) , but I guess it's OK for
JoePa's estate? Any of you true believers care to rail against this or
picket at the Paterno home against the pension payout? Surely, they
must have been in bed with the union mobsters to get this windfall.

If it was some school teacher or cinder truck driver, on the other
hand........... you would have been there with signs at the ready and
waving your silly little yellow flags.

Any word on whether the federal government will be paying Graham or will he be volunteering his service? Anyway you slice this reads more like a joke than serious news.

I believe the Charter can be amended either by the legislature or by the Trustees through a petition to the Commonwealth Court.

Here's a question, if you were subpenaed would you call Baldwin's office and tip them off to the fact? You might if you were part of the cover-up.

Re: Ahead of meeting, board eyes changes

They also said it doesn’t mean the public meetings will be any shorter —
there will just be fewer breaks. But the briefings that will take place
during the morning meeting will not be open to the public.
No, what it means is that the private meeting will be longer. Yep, they are all for transparency.

Re: Due process policy needed - The Daily Collegian Online

I wonder how many of the people with a new found fondness for due process in the wake of the Paterno firing have opposed tenure, i. e. due process, for faculty in the past.

Before you take outbacks71's advice and waiste a weekend with Vedder's book, read this review by Don Heller, who until recently was direct of Penn State's Center for the study of Higher Education.
http://www.aaup.org/AAUP/pubsr...
A common theme in many reviews of Vedder's varied works over the years is that he does not understand that association does not imply causation. Bottomline Vedder is a wingnut welfare queen and a hack.

This isn't new, it's the return of intersession. And just like intersession it's a terrible idea, because it is not about education; it is about making a few extra bucks for the University.
