With the Penn State Board of Trustees election coming up next month, it's anyone's guess as to which three candidates of the 39 running will win.. The most powerful group aimed at reforming the Board of Trustees -- Penn Staters for Responsible Stewardship -- is likely to have significant influence on the outcome of the election.
