I think everyone wants to distance themselves from any blame in a situation like this, even to the point of doing a little bit of revisionist history if need be. I found the the bullying ordeal several years back to be almost as disturbing as this, and let us all remember that it took a report from Elliot Davis to get the wheels turning on that and finally get it under control.

Some problems do not have easy fixes and other problems can be very uncomfortable and pretty dicey. You want to react, but not over react, so a fine line sometimes does exist.
