Seems sad that Sandusky violated the institution he was part of, caused the program so much harm, but nonetheless is owed his pension. It should be if someone is convicted of a crime associated with the institution they are part of, they should not be allowed to collect a pension. For example, does anyone know if a politician is impeached, or let’s say a judge is removed from office, if they can collect a pension? I assume the argument was that Sandusky worked for Penn state long enough to vest into the pension plan, paid into it, and that doesn’t change because he was sent to jail. You can hope that civil suits can attach that pension, but in some way it seems like a cruel commentary that the school he so damaged has to pay him, reminds me of divorce law where a wife can have an affair, and in the divorce settlement end up with the house and the husband having to pay alimony and child support (because the wife gets the kids usually) and have the boyfriend move in, it is kind of adding insult to injury.
