As such, synonyms for research include analysis, scrutiny, inquiry, etc. Based on that premise I cannot understand the Faculty Senate proposed resolution which will be considered during your December 2012 meeting.<br /><br />The idea that you intent to voice support for the President of the University as well as the Board of Trustee clearly reflects a total lack of research, scrutiny and inquiry. How can you possibly support individuals, who have shown a propensity, to provide partial and incomplete information relative to actions which clearly have resulted in an astronomical fiduciary failure? The entire Faculty Senate should be appalled that monies which should and could have been used for research, scholarships, etc, have been wasted by those for who you want to bolster. Any thinking individual who has read and analyzed statements made by Dr. Erickson and board trustees know that at best they are ambiguous, misguided and provide no transparency whatso every. <br /><br />Here are a few morsels for thought when making your decision to issue your proposed statement.<br /><br />How can a board of trustee hold a meeting (November 10, 2011) and record no minutes?<br /> (Statement per Dr. Erickson (ER) at National Press Club)<br /><br />How can a president of a university not inquiry as to why no minutes were taken at above noted meeting?<br /> (Per RE at NPC)<br /><br />How transparent is this and how accountable are these people based on the above.<br /><br />How can all of you blindly follow the university’s lead in supporting child abuse organizations without doing research?<br /> http://www.justice.gov/oig/reports/2012/g7012009.pdf<br /><br />How can the faculty senate support a President of the Board of Trustees that makes this asinine statement – “I would have been a better athlete coming out of Penn State if we had had the code of conduct that we will now have.” Karen Peetz, Penn Stater Magazine, Nov/Dec 2012.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5799844244210823668.post-21576104602683628272012-11-06T13:12:02.452-05:002012-11-06T13:12:02.452-05:00A careful review of the Freeh report is the first ...A careful review of the Freeh report is the first order of business. The recommendations should be tabled until a review of the deeply flawed and poorly supported report. The upcoming perjury trials may invalidate everything in Freeh. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
