At a news conference Thursday in Scranton, Pa., university trustee Kenneth Frazier, who is chief executive of Merck & Co., said the board of trustees failed to take action and didn't force the issue when alerted in the spring of 2011 about a grand jury investigation into the abuse allegations.
"We are accountable for what's happened here. Our administrative leadership also failed... People who were in a position to protect children and confront a predator" did not do so, Mr. Frazier said. "We are deeply ashamed."
