STATE COLLEGE — Penn State trustees are weighing whether to make the university president and the governor nonvoting members of the school’s governing board.

A trustees committee recommended the change Thursday, though the full board needs to vote on the matter. That may not happen for at least another couple of months, as the board studies other potential governance reforms.

Making the president and governor nonvoting members of the 32-person board were two recommendations made by former Auditor General Jack Wagner in a report last year looking at university governance. The board make-up has been scrutinized in the fallout of the child sex abuse scandal involving former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky.

“I personally think it’s time for a change,” said trustee Carl Shaffer.

The full board finishes two days of meetings today, when trustees are expected to name potato farming executive Keith Masser as their new chairman.

Masser of Schuylkill County would replace Karen Peetz, who is stepping down from the post she held for a year after being promoted to president of Bank of New York Mellon.
