\"TAA_R2_EDIT-CS3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Rutger’s University President has issued an apology<\/a> to the Penn State President for offensive actions of Rutger’s fans at a recent football game.<\/p>\n

Did he do the right thing? Was he\u00a0extending trust? \u00a0Was this an act of integrity and ethics?<\/p>\n

I’m on the fence on this one.<\/p>\n

But this I know. Build trust and avoid crises and scandals (or at least minimize their impact).<\/p>\n

Fail to proactively build trust, and the fallout from a scandal will continue for years.<\/p>\n

What do you think? Please leave a comment.<\/p>\n
