PSU General Counsel Leaves Post After Establishing Office

Penn State's general counsel is bailing

Penn State general counsel Cynthia Baldwin is leaving two years after establishing the office for the university.

Penn State said the former state Supreme Court justice and university trustee took the job in 2010 in a transitional role to get the office running.

Baldwin said Monday in a statement it was time for the transition. She will help select her permanent replacement.

As the school's attorney, Baldwin served as counsel when two Penn State administrators testified a year ago before a grand jury investigating retired assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky, who faces child sex abuse charges. Sandusky is out on bail and awaiting trial after denying the allegations.

A university spokeswoman tells the Centre Daily Times of State College Baldwin's departure is unrelated to fallout from the case.
