Wow. Really???
The buffoonery that has swallowed this University is asinine.

Interesting they pick this bullshittery to get all roped off about. It's nice they get hung up on the descriptors of Oreo cookies but not the adjectives used to describe Penn State's fan base, alumni base, students, faculty, or employees.
"Marketing makes me sick sometimes." Yeah, us too.

The narcissists that run the university not only think their scat don't stink, they really convinced themselves that they're funny, too
Embarrassing

Idiots. 359,000 followers subjected to this crap.
Is that real??? Good God, they are worked up enough to post about changes to Oreo cookies but they can't be bothered to deal with their alumni, the Freeh report, their reputation, etc. That's how vapid this university and its leadership have become the past few years.
Pretty sure that started as some social media intern thinking they were logged onto their own page and not the university's, and now they're just having some fun with it. To think this came from the "narcissists who run this university" is pretty naive
Well whether it was a mistake or a joke or whatever, PSU hasn't done itself a lot of favors lately.
I doubt that theory - If they have that little oversight and control of social media weaponry - then my university is in much worse shape than I ever thought.... We have buffoons at the helm
Rodney shouldn't have changed all the passwords to "password" so he could remember them.
So your theory is that Barron, et al are the ones who make PSU Facebook posts? Interesting. They're probably a little too busy running a multi-billion dollar entity to worry about sharing PSU News posts.
Tell that to Sandy "all I do is tweet" Barbour
I guess I shouldn't be surprised that people on this forum are getting worked up about this, but this is exactly what happened, and this happens pretty frequently to social media accounts of all shapes and sizes. The person who posts to Penn State's page almost certainly thought they were logged into their own accout, and posted not realizing that they were logged into the Penn State account. It's actually a relatively easy mistake to make if you manage multiple accounts.
Then, rather than the university issuing an apology for something trivial like this, they decided to use some self-depreciating humor and keep the joke going. The university Twitter account actually interacts like this with its followers all the time; it's pretty casual.
It's a simple mistake by whomever was manning the account at the time.
To be a Facebook page admin, you have to have a Facebook account. Thus when you login, you have the option of posting as yourself or as pages you've been assigned as an admin. It's a relatively easy mistake to make.........and not a big deal.
But of course, this is BWI. It's all a grand conspiracy against the alumni perpetrated by the BOT and move-on crowd.
Barron should be minding the store cuz we know his keepers are a little too busy mining a multi-billion dollar educational institution ( you refer to it as an 'entity'... revealing).... Someone certainly SHOULD be interested in tending to news releases and social media announcements..... A niggling little detail known as "accountability" and public relations that has, shall we say, been poorly managed over the past few years. We can fill you in on the details if you're interested
It doesn't matter how close someone is watching over it.
Mistakes happen. If you had a clue as to how Facebook page admin works, you'd understand. But, you don't.
Like clockwork, always there to think everything is a grand conspiracy against the alumni by the leadership.
Funny - that kinda thing doesn't happen in my company... The fact that it happened and not immediately mopped-up, while never an indictment of conspiracy, is indicative of shitty management
Yeah, how dare I look at this without an eye to the administration purposely pissing off Nabisco....
Shitty management would be overreacting, crucifying someone/changing everything because of one simple, innocuous mistake.
I'm glad I don't work for you or your company.
and then they wonder why people call Penn State fans a cult. Things like this has happened to many businesses large and small. Just like a cult they just can't resist spinning it into evidence of their agenda. It reminds me of the Westboro Baptist that take anything and spin it their agenda.
We have policies and procedures in place to prevent things like this from happening. If something like this did happen, someone would probably be fired, and rightfully so.
This is a nothing thing. Why anybody would post about such a nothing post is beyond me. It gets to the point when you don't like someone or thing you make a big deal about ever thing they do or say.
It gets to the point where you end up maginalizing yourself because you are complaining about everything. Your right, it's just a way to take a shot at who you dislike.
Even with those policies these things happen because of the way Facebook is set up. Also how do you know the person responsible was not fired?
