As a new day dawns, realizations begin to sink in, and people who previously had reacted poorly begin to let the truth sink in. There are many who are hurting by the child sexual abuse and coverup perpetrated at Penn State - but just as we sit in judgment of those who knew and did nothing, so too must we applaud those who are taking appropriate steps to move the university forward.
“Paternoville,” the group that “manages the encampment of Penn State students outside Beaver Stadium for home football games,” has been renamed to “Nittanyville,” according to a press release from the organization now named the Nittanyville Coordination Committee.

This is an excellent step forward. I applaud the Penn State community in taking this step. This is not to erase the memory of a man who gave so much, but rather to recognize that Penn State is not Penn State because of one man. Joe Paterno is NOT Penn State.
You Are........Penn State
Bravo.
