Sen. Piccola wants probe of Penn State University officials' alleged inaction

State Sen. Jeffrey Piccola wants Penn State's board of trustees to investigate how two university officials allegedly failed to report alleged child sexual abuse on campus.

The chairman of the state Senate Education Committee suggests university trustees, who hold the ultimate responsibility for the people that Penn State employs, should be just as disturbed as he is about the accusations levied against Jerry Sandusky and conduct their own investigation into the university's response.

"This is a major blemish on the reputation of Penn State University. This makes recruiting violations look like small potatoes," said Piccola, R-Dauphin County.
