• Joe Paterno statue at PSU taken down

Penn State president Rodney Erickson has decided the Joe Paterno statue is no longer worthy of standing outside Beaver Stadium, saying it would become a "recurring wound to the multitude of individuals across the nation and beyond who have been the victims of child abuse." Erickson also announced Paterno's name would stay on the campus library to symbolize his contributions to academic life. What is your take on each decision?

A statue was deemed too divisive, but is a name on a high-profile building as much a reminder of Paterno's misdeeds?
