Penn State University: Paterno statue to be removed

Story by CNN wire staff

 The statue of the late Penn State football coach Joe Paterno outside the campus' football stadium will be removed, the university's president said Sunday.

The tribute to Paterno had become an object of contention after the child rape scandal involving former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky.

Paterno's statue and legacy came under fire after the release of the Freeh Report http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=33772760#editor/target=post;postID=7366856070680177424 , the scathing investigation led by former FBI Director Louis Freeh.
