Former Penn State board of trustees head resigns amid sex-abuse scandal Jul 20th 2012, 01:26 HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania | Thu Jul 19, 2012 9:26pm EDT HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania (Reuters) - Penn State University's board of trustees has accepted the resignation of Steven Garban, the man who chaired the board when the child sex abuse scandal involving ex-assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky first broke. In a letter posted to the board's website on Thursday evening, PSU Trustees Chairwoman Karen Peetz said: "Earlier today I accepted Steve Garban's resignation from the Board of Trustees. I want to sincerely thank him for his many years of service to Penn State University and for the leadership he exhibited today." Garban's resignation marks the first by a board member since the scandal erupted last year. Sandusky was convicted last month of 45 counts of child molestation and endangerment involving 10 boys.
