Penn State's decision to honor former Second Mile board member draws complaints

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – Penn State’s decision to honor a former board member of Jerry Sandusky’s Second Mile charity -- a man who said he witnessed Sandusky enter showers with children -- has drawn more than 100 complaints to the university in less than 24 hours.

Penn State selected Bruce Heim to join a group of alumni for an honorary coin toss prior to Penn State’s game Saturday against Army as part of Military Appreciation Day. Mr. Heim, 74, is a Vietnam veteran who received a Bronze star and graduated from the U.S. Military Academy before earning his MBA from Penn State.
