The statue is down, of course. Putting it back UP would basically be "un-doing" that and it would bring various PR to the University. And most of that PR would be no good. There would not be a "positive ROI" involved with putting the statue back up.
Like it or not, JoePa's reputation remains pretty low amongst most folk. This hasn't really changed over the last 6 years (despite many posters here telling me this would change).
Besides, JoePa is honored elsewhere around the University.
Move on from the statue. It's in the best long-term interests of Penn State, my alma mater, to do so.
That is only your opinion about best long-term interests.
I’d like to move on from the statue if the idiots in charge at the time didn’t make such stupid short-term decisions.
