It has been a week since our Board meeting was held on the campus of Penn State Wilkes-Barre. Leading up to that meeting I had every intention of either abstaining or voting against Ira Lubert, the only candidate for Chairman of the Board to succeed Keith Masser. I have known Ira for some years before I was elected as an alumni trustee two years ago. He had disappointed me in the past by not standing up with those of us who have been working very hard to learn the truth behind the Sandusky scandal and the charges against Graham Spanier, Tim Curley, Gary Schultz and of course, the dismissal of legendary head football Coach Joe Paterno. Like my other colleagues elected by the alumni, I have worked hard reviewing the Freeh Report, the vehicle that was used by the NCAA to sanction the University. Later Louis Freeh said that his conclusion in many areas was only his opinion. Wow!

I had the opportunity in Executive Session to ask candidate (the only one for Chairman) Lubert many questions about the past as well as the future. It was in the Executive Session that all trustees had the opportunity to ask questions of the candidates. I asked Ira some pretty tough questions so I could cast a fair and intelligent vote. I learned things I was unaware of from his responses. He convinced the nine of us that he would be a fair, impartial and inclusive Chairman. Now it is time to use the power he now has to be inclusive. I was very pleased to see his very first action as Chairman was to appoint Alumni Trustee Al Lord to the Executive Committee, an excellent choice. I hope that is just the beginning of bringing members of our talented alumni contingent into influential positions. There is much we can accomplish if he uses the power we helped give him for the good of Penn State and not just a chosen few. It is hard to believe, but there are only five "old guard" members of the Board left who voted to fire Joe and began spilling political blood on November 9, 2011.

Time will answer all questions. Chairman Lubert has a tremendous opportunity to make change. I wish him well and will be watching to see if my faith in him was justified. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or suggestions you have.

In other words, ira's response to the tough questions was, "I am not a crook."

And, 'Ooh look - a seat for one of you dumb alumni reps on the executive committee!! You likey? Now shut up.'

In other words, he baffled you with bullshit.

 

[tboyer]

Jubelirer is a good guy, very politically savvy, anything but a pushover.

If Jubelirer says Lubert had good answers to the tough questions, that is meaningful. It would be nice if the rest of us could be privy to the responses. But if Bob Jibelirer is vouching for Lubert at this point, that's good enough for me.

It really is in everybody's interest for the PSU BOT to unify and work together effectively. It will take some compromise by both sides, some risk-taking, some choices to trust each other -- and it looks like they are trying do that.

 

[lionlurker]

All we can do is wait and see what happens. It's maddening.

I have, perhaps, been too tough on Jubes in the past.

There is nothing in his post that makes me regret that, though.

And, you owe me a new keyboard because I spit up some soda onto it while reading your post.

I'm going to assume some stooges from Old Main/PR are lurking here to see what the cranky, football crazed malcontents have to say about all this. I know damned well you stooges are monitoring the A9's social media...so here goes.

Ira Lubert, who is now The Most Powerful Man at Penn State - can fix 90% of the mess in under 30 minutes. It's easy.

Hold a press conference with the national media and do the following:
1. REFUTE the Freeh Report and ask for a REFUND
2. APOLOGIZE to the Paterno Family
3. DEMAND AN APOLOGY from the Sports Media
4. Demand a FULL INVESTIGATION into Second Mile & Centre County CYS & Pa DPW/DHS
5. APOLOGIZE to the others harmed in this Harrisburg-manufactured & driven crisis - Spanier, Curley, Schultz, McQueary and others.
6. EXCORIATE Tom Corbett's Office of Attorney General, Frank Fina & the Harrisburg Patriot-News.
7. RESTORE the Player's Wall & APOLOGIZE to those Lettermen.

Bonus Points if you hammer Cynthia Baldwin for her conduct and revoke Sara Ganim's diploma.

I honestly can't believe Lubert snowed them all. Impressive job by him really.

I would have made that #3.

and I'll say the this to the doubters . . . throw your hat in the ring if you think you can do a better job. I may not agree with the decision 100% that the A9 made, but they are still in it.

If Lubert wants us to believe that he had no idea that Sandusky was a pedophile despite Lubert's association with The Second Mile, then he needs to stand up and state the obvious: no one at Penn State knew. Not Paterno, not Curley, not Schultz, and not Spanier. No member of the football staff.

He needs to say that Louis Freeh delivered a report that was dictated to him by Tom Corbett and Ron Tomalis, and Penn State will be suing all of them. Throw in Peetz and Erickson as defendants, for good measure.

 

[AvgUser]

Did Jubilier write the note or was it Gullible-ier?

 

[mn78psu83]

In other words, ira's response to the tough questions was, "I am not a crook."

 

[LafayetteBear]

Wendy: Not that I would be satisfied, but it would be truly encouraging (and also evidence of a real desire to compromise) if Lubert did even ONE of those things. But we all know that will not happen.

tboyer: What aspect of Lubert's personal history suggests to you that Lubert is now gonna be "fair, impartial and inclusive?" The mere fact that he said so? In projecting Lubert's future conduct, I am more disposed to look at his prior acts and statements, and they do not give me cause for optimism. I might end up being wrong, but I think Bob Jubelirer just swallowed a giant gulp of Kool-Aid. Why couldn't (and didn't) the A9 insist that Lubert put his money where his mouth is, and make some tangible and meaningful gesture in exchange for their votes? Putting Al Lord on the Executive Committee falls a bit short, IMO. He will simply be outvoted on every significant point of disagreement.

Love this especially the first part would be an excellent start for Ira to start gaining a little bit of backing from the alumni. Then go to work on the 2nd part. I will give Jubilier some leeway here since I was not in the executive session. I have no idea what he deems tough questions and what Ira's answers were to him. So I will let this all play out and if after the 1st of the year we are still here with no answers, then it will be time for the alumni elected trustee's to answer some very tough questions.

He not only said he had good answers to tough questions - he also said Candidate Lubert provided EXTREMELY IMPORTANT INFORMATION that Mr. Jubelirer DID NOT KNOW PRIOR TO CANDIDATE LUBERT'S ANSWERS IN EXECUTIVE SESSION!!

People on this Board need to calm down as this is a SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT as characterized by Mr. Jubelirer (and Mr. Labrano before him) - the A9 Trustees are not supposed to act as a PA Court, hold a trial in regards to Mr. Lubert and be the Judge, Jury and Executioner in regards to the validity of the MATERIAL responses and information provided by Candidate Lubert to MATERIAL QUESTIONS regarding Fiduciary Obligation and COIs. To the extent that Candidate Lubert provided MATERIAL ANSWERS that satisfied the MATERIAL QUESTIONS of the A9 Trustees, but all of Candidate Lubert's material responses were LIES, FABRICATIONS and INTENTIONALLY MISLEADING EXPLANATIONS, well that is on Candidate Lubert and nobody else.....and ultimately it is a clear issue that the OAG of PA must look into in regards to dereliction of Fiduciary Obligation at a PA-registered NPO (a legal matter that clearly falls under the jurisdiction and purview of the Attorney General's Office in Pennsylvania) - let alone the State-Founded and Dedicated Flagship Land-Grant Public Universtiy of the State!!

To the extent that the NEW MATERIAL INFORMATION provided by Candidate Lubert is true OR false, it is a significant development as the heretofore unknown MATERIAL INFORMATION is now known if TRUE OR now Chairman Lubert has further painted himself into a corner if FALSE.

Now that you've come full circle my time is done here. Farewell.

Response from Barry Fenchak

Well, Bob Jubelirer has “explained”

In the spirit of academia, let’s just label it as PhD……..(bullcrap) “Piled Higher and Deeper”.

Coming from the man who likes to exclaim “I wrote the Sunshine Act!!!”, the use of the tired old “privilege” refrain (we know better than you, trust us) couldn’t be more hypocritical.

From Bob’s statement:
“I had the opportunity in Executive Session to ask candidate (the only one for Chairman) Lubert many questions about the past as well as the future. It was in the Executive Session that all trustees had the opportunity to ask questions of the candidates. I asked Ira some pretty tough questions so I could cast a fair and intelligent vote. I learned things I was unaware of from his responses. He convinced the nine of us that he would be a fair, impartial and inclusive Chairman”

REEKS of the entitled, privileged attitude of “I know better than you”

Why weren’t your “tough questions” (LOL) asked and answered in the public session? Are we unworthy of those answers? Clearly, you think so.

Transparency?

Sounds a lot like KAREN PEETZ’S definition of “transparency.

“I asked Ira some pretty tough questions”?
Really. So you asked him about his Star Chamber’s usage of $90,000,000 of our money (the funds Bob is supposed to provide stewardship of) to buy Ira and his pals a “Get Out of Jail Free Card” (not to mention the nice side benefit of furthering the narrative that PSU Administrators – and all of US - were somehow responsible for and liable for “Sandusky”)……and his response was such that you now think he is THE MAN to lead PSU? Really?

Please, stop pissing on my leg and telling me it’s raining. How dumb do you think we are?

Sounds a lot like DICKY DANDREA’S attitude towards alumni.

Oh, but there is more……..

Not once, but twice, we hear Bob’s weak excuse that “Lubert was the only candidate”

Uh….Bob…..are you freaking kidding me?

A – WHY was Lubert the only candidate? You, or any other member of the Board, had every opportunity to hold yourselves up for consideration.

B – HOW does having him as the only candidate preclude you from saying “No”, instead of “Aye” when the roll call is taken.

Your repetitive excuse making is both idiotic, and offensive to all of the Alumni who you stabbed in the back with your unanimous “Aye” vote.

We all know – at least those who have been paying attention – how the “shiny object” of Football/JVP etc was used by the Scoundrels to divert attention from the 2nd Mile (and its leaders), the PA State Agencies, etc…..and now we see the same “Let’s assume the Alumni are idiots, and only care about drinking a few beers at their football tailgates” attitude and strategy being used by our elected representatives.

I don’t know which is more depressing – that you and your colleagues would employ such a strategy…..or that so many of US would swallow it up.

Trying to wallpaper years of consistent fiduciary failures on the part of the “A9” – including weak or non-existent stands on nearly every governance issue (Budget, Graft, Capital Spending, Privileged Meetings, etc, etc, etc) with the worn out go-to diversion of:
“But, but, but…..we are reviewing the FREEH FILE for heaven’s sake!!”

But, I guess it’s all good……since Al Lord got a nice hi-back leather seat as a member of the Executive Committee.

Thanks so much for making such a great “horse-trade” on our behalf.
That certainly is MUCH more valuable than any benefit to be gained by actually having…..you know….RESPONSIBLE STEWARDS representing OUR interests on the Board.
Certainly a lot more valuable than the slight inconvenience of having OUR voices prostituted into providing unanimous support for Ira Lubert.

You have the NERVE to conclude with:

“Please feel free to contact me with any questions or suggestions you have.”

Were you listening when we said…….

”Please, please please – whatever you do, oppose the Lubert/Dambly ticket”…..

and proceeded to outline the numerous righteous reasons to do so……

only to have you and the “A9” stab us in the back with your unanimous vote that violated EVERY principle we hold dear?

Yeah…..we shoulda’ let you know how we felt – that would have been useful. We are so sorry for failing to communicate our desires and concerns to you prior to your traitorous acts..

Thank you so much……how can we ever repay you.

Too bad ol' Barry got himself banned. We need all the lunatics we can get, and he was the most frothy-mouthed of them all.

Stinky got banned?

Either that or he died from apoplexy and deleted his profile in his death throes. Last post I can find is around 1 PM on Wednesday.

Stink is in that rarefied air of banishment occupied by Bushwood CC and pnnylion. It's best to refer to their earlier handles so that nobody catches on as to who they are now. "They blend."

Yeah, that idiot "blends" like a dog turd in a wedding cake. Just like the other two you mentioned.

I'm going to assume some stooges from Old Main/PR are lurking here to see what the cranky, football crazed malcontents have to say about all this. I know damned well you stooges are monitoring the A9's social media...so here goes.

Ira Lubert, who is now The Most Powerful Man at Penn State - can fix 90% of the mess in under 30 minutes. It's easy.

Hold a press conference with the national media and do the following:
1. REFUTE the Freeh Report and ask for a REFUND
2. APOLOGIZE to the Paterno Family
3. DEMAND AN APOLOGY from the Sports Media
4. Demand a FULL INVESTIGATION into Second Mile & Centre County CYS & Pa DPW/DHS
5. APOLOGIZE to the others harmed in this Harrisburg-manufactured & driven crisis - Spanier, Curley, Schultz, McQueary and others.
6. EXCORIATE Tom Corbett's Office of Attorney General, Frank Fina & the Harrisburg Patriot-News.
7. RESTORE the Player's Wall & APOLOGIZE to those Lettermen.

Bonus Points if you hammer Cynthia Baldwin for her conduct and revoke Sara Ganim's diploma.

and.....8. REMOVE Erickson's name from OUR Creamery.......

He not only said he had good answers to tough questions - he also said Candidate Lubert provided EXTREMELY IMPORTANT INFORMATION that Mr. Jubelirer DID NOT KNOW PRIOR TO CANDIDATE LUBERT'S ANSWERS IN EXECUTIVE SESSION!!

People on this Board need to calm down as this is a SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT as characterized by Mr. Jubelirer (and Mr. Labrano before him) - the A9 Trustees are not supposed to act as a PA Court, hold a trial in regards to Mr. Lubert and be the Judge, Jury and Executioner in regards to the validity of the MATERIAL responses and information provided by Candidate Lubert to MATERIAL QUESTIONS regarding Fiduciary Obligation and COIs. To the extent that Candidate Lubert provided MATERIAL ANSWERS that satisfied the MATERIAL QUESTIONS of the A9 Trustees, but all of Candidate Lubert's material responses were LIES, FABRICATIONS and INTENTIONALLY MISLEADING EXPLANATIONS, well that is on Candidate Lubert and nobody else.....and ultimately it is a clear issue that the OAG of PA must look into in regards to dereliction of Fiduciary Obligation at a PA-registered NPO (a legal matter that clearly falls under the jurisdiction and purview of the Attorney General's Office in Pennsylvania) - let alone the State-Founded and Dedicated Flagship Land-Grant Public Universtiy of the State!!

To the extent that the NEW MATERIAL INFORMATION provided by Candidate Lubert is true OR false, it is a significant development as the heretofore unknown MATERIAL INFORMATION is now known if TRUE OR now Chairman Lubert has further painted himself into a corner if FALSE.

Never in a hundred years did i see Bushwood as the voice of reason.
