Penn State students are worried that the campus sex abuse scandal -- and their reaction to it -- might cost them down the road. Penn State officials are attempting to address those concerns And for good reason.

In the court of public opinion -- at least in a small sample size of folks who read the Patriot News online -- Penn State students are in trouble.

Poll respondents on the site were asked if they would hesitate to hire a Penn State student in light of the recent developments. As you can see, nearly half said yes, they would hesitate.

Fair? Probably not. Realistic? Hard to say. Telling? Yes.

H/T to colleague Howard Sinker for the link.
