7/22/12
Penn State President Rodney Erickson issued a statement today (July 22) related to the removal of the Joe Paterno Statue. The statement reads in part, "Our thoughts and prayers continue to go out to those victims of Mr. Sandusky and all other victims of child abuse ... I now believe that, contrary to its original intention, Coach Paterno's statue has become a source of division and an obstacle to healing in our University and beyond."
