[Community] How many of Greendale's shortcomings can be attributed solely to Dean Pelton?

Or is he basically a product of the school since no sane man could work there?

Dean Pelton retains his position because he's willing to cover up anything.  We think he's personally to blame for everything because he's the public face of the campus, but really he's a perpetually-falling fall guy.  He takes the blame for the executive board's mistakes and sits on the campus's big secrets.  For example, remember how he was willing to cover up the the first Chang dynasty.  The board keeps him on because he'll take the heat, all of it.  It makes the Dean too valuable to fire, and it keeps attention away from the board, meaning that they never get implicated and lose their positions either.  It's a symbiosis of mutually-supportive administrative incompetence that keeps Greendale what it is.
