New Wharton Dean Kinda BFF With Disgraced PederastPenn students and some others remember with equal parts horror and glee the case of kiddie-canoodler Scott Ward, a Wharton marketing professor until last August. That was when security officials at Washington's Dulles Airport found videos of him doing little boys on his laptop. Shortly thereafter, school investigators found 80 images in his Wharton office of him doing more little boys. A year later and he's already been sentenced 15 years in Virginia and may see a second trial in Pennsylvania.

Wharton probably hopes that the new Dean, Thomas S. Robertson, can wipe the slate clean. Still, what sort of b-school worth its salt keeps a professor with a record of sexual misconduct on staff?? I mean, Ward had co-published a study called "Adolescent Attitudes Toward Television Advertising" and co-edited a book called Commercial Television and European Children: An International Research (1986)! Obvi his main goal was to fuck millions of kids.

Who would dare co-publish or co-edit such academic smut with Ward? That's almost as bad as, like, owning a house on Cape Cod with a convicted pederast for 25 years.

Oh hey, look, one guy did all of these things: Thomas S. Robertson, the new Wharton Dean.

After the jump: a special happy friendship revealed.
