Two esteemed universities. Two disgraced university leaders. One stunning connection. Over the last month, we\u2019ve seen Penn State University President Graham Spanier dismissed from his duties and we\u2019ve seen UC Davis Chancellor Linda Katehi pushed to the brink of resignation. Spanier was jettisoned because of what appears to be a systematic cover-up of assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky\u2019s serial child rape. Katehi has faced calls to resign after the she sent campus police to blast pepper spray in the faces of her peaceably assembled students, an act for which she claims \u201cfull responsibility.\u201d The university\u2019s Faculty Association has since voted for her ouster citing a \u201cgross failure of leadership.\u201d The names Spanier and Katehi are now synonymous with the worst abuses of institutional power. But their connection didn\u2019t begin there. In 2010, Spanier chose Katehi to join an elite team of twenty college presidents on what\u2019s called the National Security Higher Education Advisory Board, which \u201cpromotes discussion and outreach between research universities and the FBI.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two Scandals, One Connection: The FBI link between Penn State and UC Davis Dave Zirin Two shocking scandals.
