As a parent, I am aware of how it feels when you learn that your child was harmed by the one you've trusted to protect and care for them while in their care. Institutions should bend over backwards to protect their students from predators and predatory practices. Our students must be our priority. IMHO!!!

As a Michigan alum parts of me do not care about what happens to MSU or PSU, and so forth but however, in all good consciousness because of our institutional integrity it seems fitting that we do not "pile on" these other institutions if for no other reason than because we don't know what's going on under Michigan's skit. Are we protecting our own students? I hope so.<br /><br />I only hope that we ourselves are not sacrificing institutional integrity by compromising the health, education and welfare of any of our own students. If we are the leaders and best, then it starts by setting and being the highest standards in doing everything the right way. <br /><br />Winning as important as it is, should not be at the expense of harming those whom we love the most...our kids. The axiomatic truth is "what you compromise to keep you will lose." Hopefully, we do not rejoice in the mishaps of our sister institutions but rather we are learning from their mistakes and protecting our own children.

There has to be evidence that izzo and Mark knew about these sexual harassment issues. How could you not??? Even magic Johnson make out and said people have to be fired. As Scott said this is just the tip and so much more will be revealed as time goes on. MSU should learn from PSU mistakes and make the right decision and do right by the victims. They need to change the culture.EzmoBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10784326135176732015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4068822035923402169.post-957851372084953972018-01-29T11:50:29.188-05:002018-01-29T11:50:29.188-05:00Agreed Scott, I also agree with you on Gibbon'...Agreed Scott, I also agree with you on Gibbon's.

That being said, it appears to be a one off incident this situation at MSU will end up being far reaching. The interview with the lady who served as a Rape counselor at MSU was disturbing, what has begun to seep out is likely the tip of this iceburg.<br />Scott Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05656497653843030628noreply@blogger.com
