I say we take off and nuke Knowlton from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

So you think we fire Knowlton without due process, based on allegations alone? If that were the standard everyone would be fired.

Based on what's listed here, it seems like Knowlton is clearly moving down the Jim-Jordan-Career-Path of ignoring abuse claims as a way to get elected to Congress...

Again, perhaps we ought to let the process run it's course before we convict him and fire him. Otherwise everyone can be fired merely based on allegations, whether they are unfounded or not. I'm going to leave Jim Jordan out of it because why bring in partisan politics?

In Jordan's case, the Ohio State abuse scandal actually seems worse than the chaos at Penn State under Paterno imho...circling back to Knowlton, if he knew something was amiss with the swimmers--and ignored it, that smacks of an administrator who forgot that their priority is to ultimately protect the student. To me, that's the sorta thing that oughta transcend politics.

I agree with the idea of due process but in this case there may be enough evidence already exposed from the McKeever investigation to take him down...? If so then great... if not then I agree he deserves due process. I'm really hoping for a quiet negotiated buyout where he resigns so as not to be a distraction...

Regardless of a person's guilt or culpability, due process is the foundation on which a just society rests. It's also the foundation on which just institutions rests. We all want the University of California to be a just institution, right?

Ripley: Hudson! This little girl survived longer than that with no weapons and no training. Right?

Hudson: Why don't you put her in charge?
