Penn State removes Gary Schultz's name from campus child care center

There were no emotional speeches. In fact, no one really said much about it at all.

Instead, Penn State University trustees Friday moved to eliminate an uncomfortable reminder of the Jerry Sandusky child sex assault scandal.

They voted to rename a campus child care center previously named for a former Penn State vice president who later was jailed for misdemeanor child endangerment over the school's handling of a report about Sandusky.

The name change from the “Gary Schultz Child Care Center at Hort Woods” to “The Child Care Center at Hort Woods” was endorsed a day earlier by the board's committee on finance, business and capital planning.
