Jim and Evelyn Piazza have filed a wrongful death lawsuit against 28 former Beta Theta Pi members and reached an undisclosed settlement with the university.
The university has pledged at least $2 million toward the multidisciplinary center's establishment, and a fundraising campaign aims to raise $3 million in private support with $3 million in matching funds from Penn State.
A former Beta Theta Pi member on Tuesday became the seventh defendant this month and 17th overall to plead guilty in the Penn State fraternity hazing case.
If you ever have one of those days when you just feel like smashing something, you're in luck.
Jonah Neuman became the 14th defendant in the case to plead guilty to negotiated misdemeanor charges.
Michael Fernandez, Brian Gelb, Donald Prior and Joseph Sala each pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges, including hazing, bringing the total number of guilty pleas in the case to 13.
