A Penn State Trustee has dropped his re-election bid and resigned his position after disparaging the Sandusky victims by calling them the “so-called victims” of former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky.
Trustee Al Lord bowed out of his re-election bid after being quoted in an article in the Chronicle of Higher Education. In the piece, Lord exclaimed that he is, “Running out of sympathy for 35 yr old, so-called victims with seven-digit net worth. Do not understand why they were so prominent in trial. As you learned, Graham Spanier never knew Sandusky abused anyone.”
