This part only upsets people, but it mostly reminds us again how hard it is to disentangle an institution from a person who’s been a part of it for almost 50 years. Jerry Sandusky is still earning a Penn State University pension, according to the Patriot-News, as is Gary Schultz, the former vice president who allegedly helped cover up Sandusky’s sex crimes.
Penn State Still Paying Jerry Sandusky, Gary Schultz Pensions
The school pays Sandusky $58,898 per year, while Schultz makes $331,000 annually, according to the report, though Schultz’ could be forfeited depending on the outcome of his perjury trial. Ousted president Graham Spanier and athletic director Tim Curley did not participate in the pension plan.
The Patriot-News also reports Joe Paterno will draw a pension, but there’s no word yet on how much he’ll pull in.
