From the Editorial Board: Northwestern University President Michael Schill needs to make a clear, final decision on the fate of head coach Pat Fitzgerald.
Schill introduces
After all, Schill had read the full confidential report, which presumably contained the same details that those fine student sleuths had dug up through at least one interview with a primary source and some good old-fashioned reporting of the kind that makes us more positive about the future of journalism.Schill’s about-face then got into the matter of whether, even if he did not know about the allegations, Fitzgerald, as the head football coach, was still responsible.
This “should have known” question is, of course, complicated. One argument is that players are adults who make their own decisions and that their coach cannot, and never will, know everything about what they are doing when he is not physically present. The opposing view would be that ignorance is no defense in instances like these when you are the boss, and an educator to boot.
