Tysen Kendig Quotations

Obviously, it's a much larger project, and it would be unfair to compare it to the timetables of other universities.

I don't know anything as to his condition. But certainly, if there was a violation of the law, it stands to reason charges would be filed, regardless of the medical condition.

He essentially took a college that didn't exist and turned it into a model program.

He'll be reviewing happenings at the university over the past two months, since the last board meeting.

It is important to offer a reminder about Penn State's aggressive track in monitoring labor conditions, as well as an opportunity to advise the campus community on how we evaluate and adopt any practical new policies.

Penn State strongly believes the conduct of the university in this matter was legitimate, non-discriminatory and non-retaliatory. And the facts do not substantiate the claims made in this lawsuit.

Penn State doesn't have a speech code and we don't know why someone would claim that we do. Speech is clearly protected by the First Amendment.

That's a very popular program that's come a long way in a relatively short amount of time.

We have had cases of funds being stolen from the university in the past, but it certainly is a rare occasion.

Unfortunately, some of those people who exercise that right don't recognize the equally important individual's right to due process.

Those punitive provisions made little sense and would only have served to create bureaucratic obstacles and hinder the delivery of the highest-quality education possible.

It wouldn't surprise me that it hadn't come up before, because we have had very little information on the issue.

They are allegations at this point. I think it's important to keep that in mind.

It would be foolish to think that the university isn't looking for every possible way to cut back costs. We've identified more than $100 million over the past decade in internal cost-cutting measures.

The one bottom line here that I think people are missing is that it is university policy that you are not allowed on the field unless you are a participant. Everyone recognizes the thrill of the win and the excitement, but the police were trying to prevent a situation that could have resulted in injury and thousands of dollars of damage, and I think overall they did a good job in doing that.

The university fully supports the right to free speech on campus and has never taken any action to abridge or circumvent that right.

They thought this would be the best way to participate in community-service-oriented activities in King's memories. People weren't burdened with having to miss class time to participate in these activities.

There really is no timeline for something like this.

It was really an unusual situation that university police were asked to handle. The police are well-trained and only use deterrents in necessary circumstances.

They collaborate on different programs, policies and laws, if need be, that would be dealing with dangerous drinking activities.

Clearly, we are sorry for the loss of this student and our heartfelt condolences go out to her family and friends.

But helping a number of people contribute to their communities without the burden of missed class time is worth the trade-off.

Certainly we're always interested in talking to the legislature about higher-education issues.

The Constitution allows College Republicans and other student groups to hold expressive events, even ones that may be deemed offensive by some.
