In this matter, as in others, Pernetti appears to have been concerned, first and foremost, with minimizing the damage from the scandal, not acting in the best interests of the basketball players. Pernetti told Francesa "I am always trying to protect the interests and the reputation of the university" and later emphasized that his priority was "what gives us the ability to be effective going forward in men's basketball and more importantly what protects the university." Of course, that is part of his job. But it was revealing that at only one point in his 10-minute conversation with Francesa did he actually express specific concern for the players themselves. And that was in an obviously self-serving context near the end of the conversation. Francesa asked Pernetti whether he'd thought about releasing the tape in December, when he suspended Rice. Pernetti said: "We didn't release the tape in December because there's current and former student athletes on there, and I didn't want to create a negative situation for those guys... I was trying to protect their best interests." Francesa, who is sometimes a dogged and even incisive interviewer, was asleep at the wheel yesterday, so failed to ask basic follow-up questions, like: "how the hell does withholding the tape protect the interests of the players?"

We as human beings are image conscious and will sacrifice those around us to protect that image.
In other news, Rutgers University (see above link and dozens of other related reports via google) was also focused on sliding into the Big Ten and the money that comes with that, without negative publicity. So we as humans are image conscious and money conscious, whether we run Texaco, Rutgers or work in the bush with New Tribes. You'll notice that, the "historic investigations" link isn't exactly prominent on the NTM website. After all, who cares about history and who wants to live in the past.....focusing on the past could interfere with another man's ministry.

how can such a large group of people remain so silent for so long about the child abuse which occurred in their midst?
