    The Penn State crisis intensified as the investigations resulting in child sexual abuse charges for the former assistant football coach. More than two years later, “Sandusky was found guilty of 45 counts of child sex abuse” (Crandall, et al, 2013, p. 20). As the reputation of Penn State University stood in the balance, there was a division in stakeholder perspectives as to the accountability of the university (Crandall, et al, 2013).

While Sally was uncomfortable with retaining students, she was not yet confident enough in her position to challenge the veteran teachers.
