Congratulations, Ray. You are starting to answer questions, about a subject
you might even know about. Can you continue, please, though? What you
published below doesn't actually provide any information that would support
your argument.
Let's take a Penn personnel-wrongdoing charge from recent years. (Pick one
that contains no criminal issue, to keep it comparable with the UCD case at
hand. In other words, not one of your sex-offender staffer cases.)
You are saying Penn *never conducts internal investigations* of a
non-criminal personnel concern; that they are immediately referred to a
"third party". Which third party conducts these investigations?
Because I don't believe you. I bet, if a Penn employee like yourself is
accused of some non-criminal malfeasance, Penn will mount an internal
investigation first. I bet the head of that employee's office or department
will be charged with ordering the investigation, if it involves a suspected
offense against the proper functioning of that office. And I bet information
releases to "the Penn Gazette, the DP, and the Chronicle of Higher
Education" will be severely limited pending the outcome of the
investigation.
You are a Penn staffer. Can you name a specific example for us, that
demonstrates a different investigatory path, now or recently employed by
Penn?

first, I believe you may be misreading what some of the concerns are.
it's that ucd is conducting an investigation of itself by itself (rather
than by a neutral 3rd party).
second, penn has had several examples in recent years of its own
employees, students, administrators and faculty involved in crimes,
scandals, wrongdoings. to get an idea of how a non-profit,
public-image-is-paramount institution handles situations like these, look
at their coverage in penn publications, look at how the situations are
handled by third parties, look at how all this is publicly available.
