[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Something is wrong with the character of people who would voluntarily choose Penn State.  That's why all this inexplicable souless activist occurs there.  The people and atmosphere are toxic.[/quote]

The young men who made the conscious decision to allow this man to suffer and die without making any effort to help should be held responsible.  Penn State did not "make" these men behave in such a heartless manner.  The issue here is the complete lack of any ethics, moral responsibility, or basic common sense.  These kids did not "become" this way because of the college they went to.  [/quote]

[b]Psu is responsible because it accepted these kids without screening out their profile[/quote][/b]

Seriously??  Everyone has an opinion regarding this matter, however, at least make a valid argument...[/quote]

Yeah it's a stupid concept. It's basically a general northeast population at a large state school.  You get what you get.
However the school is responsible for cultivating citizens who don't condemn a football coach turning a blind eye to repeated violent child sexual abuse for 20+ years and for that they should be condemned. The whole school needs to work on their ethics and maybe give up football for 10 years until they get that straightened out.[/quote]

PSU could screen applicants better to get a mix that wasn't as myopic and prone to being such unruly unwashed philistines.

how do they do this?

increase academic scholarships and market them nationwide so you get smart, studious but poor kids to come and take the spots of unruly wealthier kids (that make up frats).

cut the student body by 50% - it is overcrowded as it is. the bottom 50% in academics are pushed into the branch campuses.

tell the state to keep their pittance in funds (the state doesn't give psu much money) and convert into a private school. [/quote]
