DePasquale said the auditor's office found an 8 percent error rate for required clearances mandated for children's academic and sports camps on Penn State's campus and a 4 percent error rate for other pre-employment background checks campuswide.
DePasquale hopes these measures will help Penn State increase its transparency and accountability, especially within university governance.
DePasquale calls the university to create a task force "with a focus on identifying and lowering costs that are driving tuition into the stratosphere."
