The culture was sick, and the culture had to change. At PSU, yes, and maybe elsewhere also. Now they know.
Isolating the handful of people who actually knew what was happening is missing the point, and would encourage Boards of Trustees everywhere to see no evil and hear no evil and know that as long as they don't know what's going on, it'll be ok.
