PENN STATE TRUSTEE DENOUNCES DECISION TO FIRE PATERNO AND RESIGNS

March 10, 2014

Alvin Clemens, a member of the Penn State University Board of Trustees since 1995, has resigned from the Board, saying that the decision to fire Joe Paterno, for which he voted, was a “rush to injustice.” Clemens stated:

We had no advance notice and little opportunity to discuss and consider the complex issues we faced. After 61 years of exemplary service, coach Paterno was given no chance to respond. That was a mistake. I will always regret that my name is attached to that rush to injustice.

Clemens had urged the Board to revisit the conclusions in the Freeh report, which condemned Paterno, in light of the rebuttal report commissioned by the Paterno family. Former Attorney General Richard Thornburgh was one of the authors of the rebuttal report.

Begging the obvious: have any of the Duke Trustees resigned?

If not, why not?

Have any of them said, "I will always regret that my name is attached to that rush to injustice"?



As Pascal said, "The only shame is to have none."
