Why was Graham Spanier fired as President of Pennsylvania State University? Did he deserve to be fired?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ll cover the events leading up to Graham Spanier&#8217;s exit from Penn State, and discuss why you probably would have acted just as Spanier did in his position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Graham Spanier and <strong>Pennsylvania State\u2019s Leadership Team&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One day in 2001, Michael McQueary entered the locker room of the Lasch Football Building at Pennsylvania State University. He expected the building to be empty, so he was surprised when he heard slapping sounds coming from the showers. Looking around, McQueary saw Jerry Sandusky, retired defensive coordinator of the Penn State football team, showering (naked) with a \u201cminor individual.\u201d McQueary later said that the boy looked to be about ten to twelve years old. Sandusky and the boy were standing close enough to be touching.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>McQueary didn\u2019t know what to do. He ran upstairs and called his parents to tell them what he had seen. Some days later, McQueary went to Penn State football\u2019s head coach, Joe Paterno, to tell him about what he saw. Eventually, Paterno took McQueary\u2019s story to the university\u2019s athletic director Tim Curley, senior administrator Gary Schultz, and president Graham Spanier.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A full <em>decade<\/em> later, in 2011, Jerry Sandusky was finally arrested and convicted of 45 counts of child molestation. Eight young men accused Sandusky of sexual abuse. Once Sandusky was behind bars, heat began to fall on Penn State\u2019s leadership team. Tim Curley and Gary Schultz were charged with conspiracy, failure to report child abuse, and obstruction of justice. Previously beloved university president Graham Spanier was fired. Six years later, Spanier was convicted of child endangerment. (Shortform note: A federal judge has since thrown out Graham Spanier\u2019s conviction.)<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It might seem easy to point the finger at these men and say that they <em>allowed <\/em>Jerry Sandusky to roam free and abuse young boys. You might think that they were putting their own self-interests or the success of the university above the law. But taking into account all the evidence we\u2019ve seen of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/truth-default-theory\/\">Truth Default Theory<\/a>, here\u2019s the real question: <strong>If you had been president of Penn State at that time, would you have done anything differently?<\/strong>&nbsp;Or would you have acted just as Graham Spanier did?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Problem with Trush<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine how Curley, Schultz, and Graham Spanier must have felt when Joe Paterno came to them with this disturbing and complicated story. What was more likely: That Jerry was being his goofy self with one of the kids he knew well or that he was engaging in some sort of inappropriate behavior that wasn\u2019t even distinct enough to make Mike McQueary step in and stop it?&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The three men sat around and contemplated the best way to handle the situation. They even reached out to the university\u2019s attorney, Wendell Courtney. Courtney thought he just needed to have a word with Sandusky\u2014to warn him to be careful so he wouldn\u2019t be called a pedophile.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Curley, Schultz, and Graham Spanier made a human error by defaulting to truth, but does that deserve to be judged as a criminal offense?<\/strong> No one tried to put the parents of Larry Nassar\u2019s victims in jail for failing to see the abuse that was going on right in front of them. It was assumed that those parents simply trusted the community around their children.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same level of trust should be given to the communities around every child. If everyone defaulted to assuming that every football coach was a pedophile, there would be no more sports. We default to truth because we have to for peace of mind. Sometimes, that trust is ruined by betrayal. In those instances, <strong>the people whose trust was broken deserve to be sympathized with, not blamed.<\/strong>&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, if someone like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/harry-markopolos\/\">Harry Markopolos<\/a> had been president of Penn State at the time, he would never have defaulted to trusting Sandusky\u2019s intentions. He would have immediately leaped to the worst possible conclusion.<em> <\/em>But it\u2019s important to remember that isn\u2019t the most natural human reaction.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br><strong>People with a high threshold for belief, those that default to truth, make the best kind of leaders because they have a capacity for loyalty<\/strong>. Sending people like Curley, Schultz, and Graham Spanier to jail sends the message that we want leaders like Harry Markopolos, who are always on the lookout for conspiracy. But there would be consequences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What was Graham Spanier&#8217;s role in the Jerry Sandusky case?
