PSU is a state institution. All workers there are then state workers/officials. It's all in the name Mack, The Pennsylvania State University. You should have been able to find his pay and stuff online as a state official, it's supposed to be public records.

Well if thats the case do you think they should put the state flags at half staff when a teacher or Janitor has 62 years in??

 

If they end up leading the school to national prominence in something then why not? They've done something great.

 

I dunno maybe your right. I just dont think what joe pa did was worthy. When we had men and woman dieing in Iraq and cops and firefigthers dieing all in the line of duty. Giving the ultimate sacrifice their lifes for our country and other people. Why not lower the PA state falg to half staff for a day when someone from PA dies in the line of duty. But yet we will do it for a football coach.

Maybe im the one thinking messed up on this.
