Did you mean toilet paper? There should be plenty of trustees - especially Frazier - who need it.

Penn State is one of only a few schools that earn a profit from their football program. I believe the number is less than five schools.

You mean shut down the entire school for two years because management and the trustees did not do their job? So let's punish the students. After all, they also did not say anything.

Rumor has it that 85% of all problems are directly traceable to top management. In response, the trustees decided to shorten their terms from 15 years to 12 years.

A curious sidebar. As that report was being read on cable channels throughout campus, the campus cable controller decided to switch that channel to a PA access channel. Cutting off the report as Penn State students were listening.
