After the body of an Eastern Michigan University freshman was found in her dorm room in December 2006, naked from the waist down with a pillow over her head, the chief of the university police said there was “no reason to suspect foul play,” and let her parents believe she had died of natural causes.
That silence held for more than two months. In that time, the student who was eventually convicted in her murder had free run of a campus where he was previously caught climbing into a window of a university building...."

There are cover-ups all over our college and university scandals including a hell of a lot concerning rape of female students. My hope is that this blows apart a hell of a lot of administrations across the US including what is going on outside of athletics.
I think the Penn State students at large are doing a good job in getting sentiments out about what has happened to the victims and their families. And Penn has always been up there in terms of several academic programs it has. I also don't negatively judge the students in athletics around this.
