Curley denied that the assistant had reported anything of a sexual nature, calling it "merely 'horsing around,'" the grand jury report said. But he also testified that he barred Sandusky from bringing children onto campus and that he advised Spanier of the matter.
The grand jury said Curley was lying . . . adding that it also deemed portions of Schultz's testimony not to be credible.
Should we be surprised that Penn State administrators, making handsome salaries from taxpayer funds, would play "cover our butts" on matters of serious public concern? No, we should not. University higher ups have the same mindset here in Alabama.
Evidence in my federal lawsuit shows that at least one defendant clearly committed perjury, two others probably did, and several others came awfully close--including President Carol Garrison. Anita Bonasera, UAB's director of employee relations, stated in an affidavit: "I am not aware that any of the (sic) Shuler's speech on his blog or elsewhere was related to the decision to terminate Shuler's employment."
A tape-recorded conversation that I had with Bonasera, however, shows that she did know that content on my blog played a huge role in my termination. You can hear that conversation at the link below:

Here is a transcript from a key portion of the conversation between me (RS) and Anita Bonasera (AB), clearly showing that Bonasera and my supervisor, Pam Powell (and Powell's supervisor, Dale Turnbough), knew exactly why I was targeted and unlawfully fired:
RS: I told Dale Turnbough about this two weeks ago, and she never said a word about any of this. In fact, she said she was going to take care of it, she assured me absolutely that this had nothing to do with my blog--and then two weeks later I find out it's all about my blog.
