Editorial : Cantor makes right decision to fire Bernie Fine

Chancellor Nancy Cantor made the necessary decision to fire Bernie Fine, former associate head coach for men’s basketball, on Sunday night. 

In recent days, a third accuser has stepped forward. ESPN also released recorded conversation — though its authenticity is still in question — in which Laurie Fine, the wife of the accused, displays knowledge of her husband’s relationship with accuser Bobby Davis.  

Cantor acted swiftly to do what had to be done, given the new accusations and mounting pressure from a national media spotlight.

Despite the firing, the SU community must remember these are only allegations and nothing has been proven in a court of law. Though these accusations are horrendous, the SU community must restrain condemnation until official legal action is taken against Fine.
