So sorry to hear the news. Mr. Reel was my 8th grade history teacher back in the early 70's. He was a phenomenal teacher and an inspiration. Deepest sympathy to his family.
Clearly Dr. Dunn was head and shoulders above the other two candidates. Actually, I'm really proud of the YSU Board of Trustees for making such a judicious decision. To the person who posted above..please read the following link and tell me you don't think Dr. Dunn is qualified to be the next president of YSU.
An 11 year old girl can hardly be labeled a "miscreant". Kudos to her parents for taking responsibiity. I have no inside knowledge of this incident, but I'll bet the girl had no idea the consequences would be so severe. Anyone who's ever been 11 knows how very stupid kids can be. Best case scenario here is the girl will be disciplined, learn from her mistake, and move on with her life.
Regardless of your political affiliation, it's a really BIG DEAL when the President of United States delivers the commencement address at your university.
"See what happens when politicians get involved with private industry " Actually, it's the other way around. See what happens when private industry gets involved in politics.
"Bob Hagan. .... he feels as though he has some special right to know every detail..." Another sad comment because of the possibility of 40-50K gals of pollutants, one would like to know the contents and the extent of these pollutants to preserve the public health and safety.... or is it better to be a foolishly UN-informed public????
Oh please Walter, enough of your macho blustering. We're talking about children here. These kids trusted their priests. Back in my day, there was no more trustworthy person on earth than a priest or a nun. The violation of trust is mind-numbing. For far too long, the church has gotten away with thousands of cases of child abuse. Priests were sheltered and protected, and moved to another community where they could find a new group of kids to abuse. When the church had the choice to protect either an innocent child or a pervert priest, they chose the priest every single time! Every time the pope or our bishop spouts off about protecting the unborn, I have to chuckle. Let's protect the unborn fellas, but little kids...not so much. The level of hypocrisy in the Catholic church is staggering. I sure would love to hear Bishop Murray address that. However, from a legal standpoint, Gains is absolutely correct. Victims need to come forward and identify these priests so that justice can be served.
olddude...I beg to differ with you. For a full professor to retire with a six figure pension at 50 would mean he or she would have had to have taught at least 30 years. Hardly possible as no one I know of at that level would have a PhD at the age of 20. In addition, the only full professors I know who would retire with a 6 figure salary would be those few who teach in either engineering or business. I assure you the vast majority of teaching faculty retire with far less than 6-figure salaries. Now university administrators...that's a different story.

Last thing needed are gun laws
Sorry son, the NRA is owned by weapons and ammunitions manufacturers. Those aunts and uncles you speak of are merely puppets.
