Rutgers- Asking Great Questions.
Unfortunately, some people forgot to ask great questions during this past week.

Rutgers is the best university at not knowing how to deal with important things.
Officials at the school just don’t seem to know how to handle potentially destructive actions when they fall into their laps. From being there firsthand, I can claim that it’s just too big of a place with a web of bureaucracy.
Even though the Penn State scandal was a far different event, I am reminded of it in a way. People in power try to dust things under the rug to protect themselves and their school’s golden “reputation.” They need to realize that in our world now, EVERYTHING will surface and be shared online.
The newspaper I used to work for, The Asbury Park Press, printed the f-word — THE ENTIRE WORD — not once, but TWICE, in its Mike Rice story. And the f-bombs are followed by anti-gay slurs.
Now, even though there is an editor’s note preceding the story warning of derogatory language, was it really necessary to print them out? I think the majority of people could guess what they are even if they contained dashes.
What do you think? Should news organizations still adhere to stringent rules about profanity? Or should it not faze us anymore? Does it even matter?
