Pennsylvania State University received more than 100 complaints in 24 hours after announcing that a former board member at ex-football coach and convicted child molester Jerry Sandusky’s youth charity would be honored before a football game Saturday, reports the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Bruce Heim served as the Second Mile’s vice chairman and was its biggest donor, giving more than $1 million to the nonprofit before it collapsed in the wake of Mr. Sandusky’s 2011 arrest and 2012 conviction for sexually abusing boys. The university selected Mr. Heim, a Vietnam veteran, to join a group of alumni for an honorary coin toss marking Military Appreciation Day before Penn State’s game against Army.
