Tony Dungy Comments on Penn State Scandal

Tony Dungy comments on the scandal at Penn State:

I believe the University had no other choice in this matter than to accept his resignation or force him to step down.  I think they made the right move in ousting the President of the University as well.  When something of this magnitude happens I think everyone in a leadership position is responsible…

I also think this is a reminder to all of us that we have a responsibility to hold each other accountable, no matter what.  It doesn’t matter if it is a subordinate, a co-worker or your boss.  If something is taking place that is wrong, we have to address it and make sure action is taken.  I’m sure there are a lot of people at Penn State who are saying in hindsight, “I wish I had said something–I wish I had done something.”  When it involves something as serious as child abuse, we can’t afford to assume that someone else will handle it.  We have to act.
