How do we know they didn't vote against the phone firing?
Or the firing altogether?
Do all BoT actions require a unanimous vote?
Is this posted so these people can be threatened?
I just don’t get the purpose of this post.
They described it as a unanimous decision last night.

Ridiculous I need to say this but NO THREATS ARE ADVOCATED BY THIS POST
I put these names up so that if you know any of these people you can voice your displeasure with the BOT’s handling of the WHOLE situation. Having dealt with several governing bodies I doubt very much the individual members receive all the emails that get sent to the BOT email address.
I thought only safeties played 15 yards off the ball! DESTROY Northwestern!!
Just for the sake of argument,
wouldn’t it still count as a unanimous vote if some members abstained?

On the unanimous decision
It would make sense that after they held the vote they agreed to describe it an unanimous for appearances sake.
Normally no.....
Unless Surma didn’t account for that during the presser. He should of, but he made no mention of it. Regardless of whether anyone abstained…..I still cannot believe they fired him over the phone. Disgusting behavior.

It's better that we know this, I think.
I don’t know how to properly articulate it, but I think we need to know that this was not some faceless entity killing our hero.
"General Lee, I have no football team."
I'm sure most, if not all, of these people are good people.
The last thing we need is some sort of vigilante response to these people. They were put in a very difficult spot and acted in what they thought was the best course of action.
Knowing who your university trustees are is fine, but please don’t take out your anger on them.

Success With Honor

That was kind of my point.

They did not act having all the facts or with honor
I don’t care if they were firing a janitor…..you don’t fire a 61 year employee over the phone. Furthermore their admission that they acted solely on the Indictment without any sort of investigation shows they were just trying to appease the media and mob by distancing themselves from Paterno. That is not what Joe Paterno would have done…..it was not his way………the BOT did nothing to help anything.

The way they did it was cowardly and not fitting for Joe, for god sake have the balls to do it in person.
But firing him, and everyone who knew what Sandusky was doing was the right decision. I don’t know how Joe and others could even handle seeing Sandusky, yet they did year after year. I realize that I am basing this without knowing everything but he at least knew what MM told him. The BOT had to make a tough decision and they did, I think additional people need fired as well.
I made a copy of this list last night
Until every single name on that list is different, Penn State gets no donations from me.

The only threat I'm conveying is this:
I will vote against the trustees who are on the Alumni Association ballot until everyone of the SOBs is gone.
My complaints against them (in no particular order):
(1) They claim to have read the GJ report and (gathered) “all the facts” — BS! How did they do that in four days, when it took the GJ over 2.5 years? Nor does it appear they interviewed any of the principals.
(2) As noted, firing by telephone. Talk about moral cowardice! Leadership is courage under fire — even if that means facing an angry mob (with 500 police at your back).
(3) Taking no action on Curley or Schultz. Someone posted elsewhere they didn’t act against Curley/Schultz because they were focused on Joe; why then was Spanier fired at the same meeting?
(4) Folding in the face of media pressure. I understand the need to stem the bleeding, and to show action in support of the (still alleged) victims, but this was a rush to judgment.
(5) They looked guilty as sin themselves, sitting around while Surma mostly read his statement. I hope the full investigation leads all the way to their individual and collective doorsteps.
We are STILL Penn State, in spite of these spineless “trustees” who have not served our institution very well.
"Make haste to reassure us, I beg you, and tell us that our fellow citizens understand us, support us, and protect us as we ourselves are protecting the glory of the Empire.
"If it should be otherwise, if we should have to leave our bleached bones on these desert sands in vain, then beware the fury of the Legions."

Unfortunately Surma is not an alumni vote.......he would be the 1st to go in my book
May the JVP way......success with honor forever be the Penn State way.
