PSU trustees to discuss report

HERSHEY — Penn State’s internal report into how university officials handled the Jerry Sandusky child molestation scandal is among the topics expected to take center stage as trustees start two days of meetings.

The university’s board will convene today in Hershey and is expected also to consider changes to its own makeup.

The trustees’ governance structure has been criticized for having the university president serve as a voting member, as well as the participation of the governor.

Penn State commissioned an examination of the scandal by a group led by former FBI director Louis Freeh. It’s been a target for critics since its release last summer.

On Tuesday, the university released a document long sought by the board’s critics that detailed the agreement made with former Freeh to investigate the Sandusky scandal.
