STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — A Penn State trustee says former FBI director Louis Freeh and his team have conducted more than 400 interviews in the internal investigation spurred by child sexual abuse charges against former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky.
Trustee Kenneth Frazier said the investigation includes current and former employees from numerous departments across the university, and that the school still hopes to have findings by the time the next academic year begins in late August.
Frazier reiterated the Freeh investigation is being conducted independent of criminal and other investigations and will not interfere with other inquiries.
The school has also been implementing new guidelines stemming from recommendations by Freeh that it hopes will improve the protocols involved in identifying and reporting child sex abuse. Frazier said more recommendations may be released by mid-June.
