Thanks, M. carey. It means that Spanier falsely claimed that a proper investigation had occurred, when nothing could be further from the truth. It says nothing about Mann's guilt or innocence at all. It simply says that a proper investigation of Mann's guilt or innocence <b>had not </b>occurred, and Spanier lied when he said one<b> had </b>occurred.
You may not be aware, M., that not only did the Mann Inquiry Committee not get the answers to the relevant questions. They didn't even ask them.
Spanier's role in this was widely known already from the time of the Penn State whitewash of Mann. So for those of us who were aware of Spanier's false report to the Board of Trustees in Mann's case, it was quite telling (but unfortunately, not all that surprising) when Spanier was discovered and dismissed for doing <b>exactly the same thing</b>, only regarding covering up something much worse.
It proves nothing about Mann, nor did Steve say it did. It definitely proves that Spanier's cover-up in the Mann Inquiry was not an isolated case.
