Penn State is an academic institution, and this entire mess shows that they forgot about this as their first and foremost identity.

The school enrolls 100,000 students and 44,000 faculty members. Like any other public university, I'm sure they invest tens of millions of dollars in research and consultation to businesses and farms in Pennsylvania. You are talking about massive yearly losses that affect all of those people, not to mention the taxpayers that have to foot the bill. Not to mention indirect economic impact.
It's not hyperbole. It's why anybody who's ever looked at the economics of a death penalty have said it's a stupid idea.
