SCRANTON, Pa. — Penn State’s board of trustees promised a “more active, structured and robust oversight role” in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal to make sure the school never again permits a predator to roam its campus, the board’s chairwoman said today.

Karen Peetz opened a board meeting in Scranton by addressing Thursday’s report from former FBI Director Louis Freeh that showed late football coach Joe Paterno and three top administrators concealed child sexual abuse allegations against Sandusky, a retired assistant coach convicted last month of abusing 10 boys over 15 years.

Freeh also found the trustees failed to exercise oversight over former President Graham Spanier and other administrators and failed to probe enough when they learned that Sandusky was the subject of a grand jury probe.

For the second day in a row, the board said it accepted “full responsibility” for its failures. Peetz said Freeh’s report will “result in changes, beginning here, beginning today.”

Peetz directed committees of the board to review sections of the 267-page Freeh report that apply to their roles and report back “action plans” for change by the next trustees’ meeting in September. In addition, Penn State President Rodney Erickson said today he has appointed three senior administrators to coordinate and implement changes suggested by Freeh.

“While yesterday’s issuance of the Freeh Report provides some level of clarity of our community, it does not undo the pain that the victims of Jerry Sandusky have experienced, and continue to experience,” Erickson said.
