I had been wondering whether they were going to do anything with the statue. I'm glad they did.

From the reactions of some locals and some of the people associated with Penn State, they still don't get it though.

Good on them!

Although there are no current plans, I hope they will rename the library as well.

I'm glad they're removing it, but I do kind of like the idea of leaving it there and turning it backwards. Like he's hiding his face in shame.

They should have painted a clown face on it and put flails and maces in the hands of the football players behind him.

I think they should have simply turned the statue upside down and buried its head in the dirt... much like the real person.
