Seven Penn State trustees want access to records used for Freeh report

HARRISBURG, Pa. — Seven Penn State University board members asked a judge Monday for access to documents used by a team led by former FBI director Louis Freeh that produced a 2012 report on how university leaders handled child molestation allegations against Jerry Sandusky.

The petition filed in the Center County Court of Common Pleas by the alumni-elected trustees seeks to force the school to let them see everything the Freeh team reviewed, gathered and produced in connection with the university-commissioned report.

The Freeh report, criticized by many alumni, found fault with former Penn State top officials, including the late football coach Joe Paterno.
