The Penn State report and Graham Spanier, former president of PSU

[Don Schneider]

From the special investigation report issued by Louis Freeh, former Director of the F.B.I., et al:

February 27-28, 2001:

"Curley emails Schultz and Spanier and says he [Curley] has changed his mind about the plan after talking it over with Joe [Paterno] yesterday. Curley now proposes to tell Sandusky ‘we feel there is a problem’ and offer him ‘professional help.’ ‘If he is cooperative we would work with him to handle informing‘ the Second Mile; if Sandusky does not cooperate, ‘we don’t have a choice and will inform’ DPW and the Second Mile. ‘Additionally, I will let him know that his guests are not permitted to use out facilities.’"

"Spnaier emails Curley and Schultz: ‘This approach is acceptable to me.’ He adds: ‘The only downside for us is if the message isn’t ‘heard’ and acted upon, and we then become vulnerable for not having reported it. But that can be assessed down the road. The approach you outline is humane and a reasonable way to proceed.’"

From a story by Bill Dedman, Investigative Reporter, msnbc.com, July 12, 2012:

"At no time in the more than 16 years of his presidency at Penn State was Dr. Spanier told of an incident involving Jerry Sandusky that described child abuse, sexual misconduct or criminality of any kind, and he reiterated that during his interview with Louis Freeh and his colleagues, Spanier's attorneys, Peter Vaira and Elizabeth Ainslie, said in a written statement."

I don’t understand why Dr. Graham Spanier, former pesident of Penn State University, (and still a tenured professor on staff) would apparently have denied that he even knew of any allegations against Jerry Sandusky of sexual misconduct with children if these referred to emails in the Freeh report exist.

Is the Dedman quote accurate? Is the Freeh report accurate regarding the emails that Dr. Spanier is claimed to have been a party to and, if so, are their substances accurate? This seems very strange.

Spanier is a weasel. When PSU took over Dickinson Law School, he lied to the town of Carlisle about how they had no plans to move the school that was part of the fabric of the town. All the while he was planning a huge new complex in State College for the school to move to. Fortunately some good investigative reporting found out his lies. I see this Sandusky thing as just more of the same from him.

But why would he lie if he knew about these emails, at least one of which came from him, discussing the allegation against Sandusky? Was he hoping they had been deleted by their recipients? If so, that seems quite a gamble by such an intelligent man. It is noted (without comment) within the Freeh report that Dr. Spanier denied any knowledge at the time (2001) of the allegation.

It's amazing how people don't realize emails remain. He probably thought he wouldn't get caught.

[andlikethat...]

I'm assuming he thought they were private and off limits. PSU struck some deal w/ the state a few yrs back were all their records were private.
