<p>@SansSerif - First THON has NOTHING to do with donations to the university, supporting THON is an entirely different situation altogether. To even lump them together is completely ignorant. </p>
<p>The spring career fair attendance does not disprove what I said at all. You are comparing the attendance to the previous year which was the year when the scandal broke. It does not disprove the fact that employers did back away from the university after the scandal broke, it does not prove nor does disprove whether or not the companies HIRED many PSU students. Quite frankly your argument holds no value in the discussion because if you take the time to read my original post I never said that there were not employers still looking for PSU students. I even said that the engineering dept. does an “EXCELLENT” job at finding jobs for students despite the scandal. </p>
<p>@luvthej - I received a scholarship! My scholarship was not awarded by FA it was awarded via merit. So it had nothing to do with budget cuts!</p>
<p>Honestly I can’t even believe i’m arguing with anyone as to whether PSU took a hit as a result of the scandal you would have to live under a rock to not recognize this fact. I never said that the scandal destroyed the entire university but it certainly did affect them. I don’t care how much you LOVE the university you can’t deny that the scandal had negative consequences on their reputation.</p>
<p>I’m done with arguing this point I generally try to avoid even having conversations like this with people associated with the university because for some reason you people get so defensive its ridiculous. The PSU Cult mentality.</p>
