Another change of pace

This week saw the breaking of a scandal at Penn State. It raises the questions of ethics, reporting, and more.

Seemingly a person who saw the act performed reported it to Joe Paterno; who reported it to a higher level - and it stopped. Now, the question becomes - other than the perpetrator, who is guilty of the cover up? Should Joe have pressed it - and/or fired the assistant coach? Who else knew?

The end result to students might be to be ethical in all your actions - and remember - in these days of Facebook, Twitter, and all - actions (and videos) can go viral in a matter of minutes - and a lifetime of performance (like Joe Paterno) can be undone quickly - even if you did report the action.
