Penn State is doing all it can as a university to try and move on from the mess that has been created in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky sexual abuse allegations — except in the bookstore, apparently.
The Patriot-News reported that as of Friday afternoon, the former defensive coordinator's autobiography, chillingly titled Touched, is still on shelves at the campus bookstore. The book details Sandusky's work for kids through his foundation, The Second Mile, as well as his time as a football coach.
"I don't really have a comment on that,''' a store spokesperson told the paper. "We haven't changed any operating procedure.''
A Penn State alum in town for Saturday's football game against Nebraska wasn't too happy about the fact that the book was still on shelves on campus.
"That is shameful, to try and promote that [book], in my opinion.''
Sandusky was indicted and arrested last week on charges that he sexually abused eight boys he met through The Second Mile.
