Taliaferro Elected Penn State Trustee

1 Comment

Penn State continues the cleansing process after the Jerry Sandusky scandal shook up State College.

It elected three new members to its university board of trustees, according to the Associated Press. Those new members include former Nittany Lions cornerback Adam Taliaferro.

Taliaferro suffered a career-ending spinal cord injury vs. Ohio State in 2000 that left him temporarily paralyzed. He is now an elected official in Gloucester County, NJ. The election that turned out 37,000 online voters also elected donor Anthony Lubrano and ex-U.S. Navy captain Ryan McCombie.

As for Taliaferro, there is no one better to help the school show perseverance through its tough times. Adam Taliaferro profile

    As the candidate who came in fourth, I must say that I am not at all disappointed in the results of the election, as it is a huge win for Penn State and all the alumni who contributed their time, their personal and professional resources, and who added their voices to the clarion call for radical reform. We have all won by getting three reform-minded candidates on to the board.

    I have been and am profoundly moved and inspired by the pride so many alumni have shown in being Penn Staters, matched only by their passion and commitment to fix what’s broken at Penn State. I very much hope that all the alumni who have contributed so much in so many ways in recent months, will continue to work on all the issues facing Penn State, not the least in finding ways to make an education at Penn State affordable while maintaining our proud heritage of public service as a major land-grant university.

    Tenacity and relentlessness of purpose WILL make a difference, and I know there are tens of thousands of alumni who remain committed to restoring Penn State’s honor. This success should inspire all to recommit and continue forward.
