STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Penn State Athletic Director Tim Curley and a university administrator, Gary Schultz, will step down amid a sexual abuse scandal involving a former football assistant, the university announced early Monday morning.
Curley will take an administrative leave to defend himself against perjury charges, and Schultz will retire. The decision came during an executive session Sunday night involving Graham B. Spanier, the president of the university, and members of the university’s board of trustees.
The possibility of the resignations of Coach Joe Paterno and Spanier was reportedly not discussed at the meeting.
Curley and Schultz, the senior vice president for finance and business, were charged Saturday with perjury and failure to report to authorities what they knew of the allegations involving the former defensive coordinator,
Jerry Sandusky, who was charged with
40 counts related to sexual abuse of boys.
...Sandusky was arrested Saturday and charged with sexually abusing eight boys over a 15-year span, including during his tenure as an assistant at Penn State.
