[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The blame needs to be placed on the individuals who made the decision to allow their "brother" to die.  This is not the same as the Sandusky scandal.  [/quote]

Of course the blame needs to be placed on the individuals. But, I don't know anyone who, if he had the choice, would willingly attend a college with a terrible moral stigma.[/quote]

That argument may work when describing the rich Washington kids who choose to go there, but what about the struggling kids from PA who need to attend an in-state school for econonomic reasons?[/quote]

Most people just go to their local state schools. Going out of state is expensive for most people.[/quote]

Almost 40% of Penn State students are out-of-state.[/quote]

I was a psu Schreyer honors alum who was schocked at how many OOS kids were there. I didn't get it. Except for those who were Jefferson med direct admits, why would you go to psu out of state[/quote]

It's a lot of kids from the northeast who didn't get into a top private, but don't want to go to a SUNY either. People in NY, NJ and Mass tend to look down on their local state schools, and think it's somehow more respectable to send their kids to an OOS "flagship." People in the northeast also traditionally spend MUCH more on college education than in other regions, so they don't find it odd to spend $30-40k/year on an out of state, public school, when they could get an equivalent education at a decent SUNY for 1/3 of that.[/quote]
