Federal investigators have concluded that Penn State should pay a record fine of nearly $2.4 million for numerous violations of campus safety law — findings that arose from a five-year probe related to former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky’s sexual abuse of several children over more than a decade.
The Education Department said Thursday that it uncovered "11 serious findings" of Penn State’s noncompliance with the federal law that requires crimes on college and university campuses to be reported.
Among them were violations directly related to Sandusky’s abuse of children, a failure to issue timely warnings of threats to the campus and a failure to keep an accurate and complete daily crime log. One finding — a "failure to properly classify reported incidents and disclose crime statistics from 2008 to 2011" — carried a recommended fine of more than $2.1 million.
