What would have happened if the university was found not liable for some claims, like those where abuse happened somewhere not on campus, but paid a claim anyway? PMA wouldn’t be responsible for that either, because the policies detailed that happening only for debts Penn State was “legally obligated to pay as damages.”
But that didn’t happen either.
“PSU opted to settle the claims rather than try them,” Glazer wrote. “The court does not see how there could be substantially different opinions regarding what is, candidly, a fairly pedestrian coverage decision.”
Maybe Rodney Erickson can tell us again how Penn State’s insurance is going to cover all the payments to Sandusky’s purported victims. It seems to me that his service, like that of Keith Masser, Keith Eckel, Kenneth “people that look like you” Frazier, Karen Peetz, Ira Lubert, Mark Dambly, and so on is marred, and we have to step back and ask, what does that mean?
