I just got MY email from Dr Erickson

In addition to the legal process under way, Penn State's Board of Trustees hasauthorized a full investigation "...to determine what failures occurred, whois responsible, and what measures are necessary to insure that this neverhappens at our University again and that those responsible are held fullyaccountable." As those involved pursue their cases, I also urge you, as PennStaters, to be patient, to avoid speculation, and to refrain from passingjudgment until the facts are known. His second paragraph, copied. So in other words we are supposed to NOT behave like the BoT? Thanks Doc <~~ snark font here

Good letter. I hope that this is the corner that we need to turn towards healing.

They HAVE to know what it looks like when they say that right? I got that email and the anger I’ve been able to quell for much of the day rose up again. I feel like they’re just trying to be dicks about it now.

"Let's just placate the angry masses with a few pablum-like e-mails.

They will forget about us in a few days."

Seems to be the party line.

"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."

And a scalp

Can’t placate an angry mob without a good scalp.

I'm working on an email to him right now

To tell him he’s just joined the BoT on the list of Penn State hypocrites.

Wow, no wonder why the students went insane last night

Are these the last remaining role models left at the school? Holy shit. I would have lit a car on fire as well if this hypocrite bullshit is what the people that run my school stand behind.
