Sue Paterno is accepting nominations to become a member of the Penn State Board of Trustees and her son, Jay Paterno is also running for a seat on the board.

 

There are three positions open for alumni elections. Nomination ballots are currently being accepted and Sue Paterno and her son Jay are both in the running. 

 

The news about Sue Paterno was confirmed only to WTAJ from a source high up within the university. Also Thursday, support for Jay Paterno began circulating on social media.

 

Positions held by Al Lord, Robert Jubelirer and Alice Pope are up for election – all vocal Joe Paterno supporters and all likely to run for re-election. However, it will be a tough race against Sue and Jay Paterno.

 

It’s likely that the former assistant football coach will run under his full birth name, Joseph Vincent Paterno. 

 

Also this week, San Diego resident and 1986 PSU graduate, Robert Bowsher, announced he’s seeking a seat on the board.

 

Nomination ballots will be accepted until Feb. 25 and the ballot will be emailed out to alumni on April 10, with voting set to close on May 4.
