If I lost 32 or 33 members of my "family" because of my policies, I would never allow myself to speak publicly on the matter again. I would hang my head in shame and spend the rest of my life in a dark, private place. Alas, that would be the honorable thing.

The ONLY acceptable thing for the VT president is to publicly apologize for his part in contributing to the problem and resign.

Charles Steger wishes to bask in the radiance of good things that happen during his tenure but wash his hands of the blood of complacency and fault unusual events by unusual, unforseen people. He is the Captain and ultimately the one who must bear the blame.

The Captain of his ship is responsible not only for the vessel but for the lives of all aboard.

How many naval careers have been scuttled for lack of proper attention to this detail and frequently rightfully so IMO.

Colleges are carefully constructed pens for the lambs and the wolves WILL find a way in which to feed. The lambs need sharp TEETH - other direct suitable means to STOP the wolves. The shepherd's crook is worthless against the wolves.

Yata hey

PS - I have not yet really begun to rant.
