From the Penn State press release:
When Cynthia Baldwin accepted the position of full-time vice president, general counsel and chief legal officer for Penn State in January 2010, it was with the understanding that she would serve in a transitional role to help establish and organize the office, manage Penn State's legal function and pave the way for a permanent general counsel to be hired following a national search. In the two years since Baldwin accepted that charge, she has worked to oversee what has become a very busy unit, with two attorneys, a paralegal and an administrative assistant at University Park, and two attorneys and a paralegal based at Penn State Hershey.
Baldwin served on the Pennsylvania Supreme Court from 2005 to 2008. A story in The Centre Daily Times reports “Penn State spokeswoman Annemarie Mountz said the timing of the transition is unrelated to the fallout from the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal that is embroiling the university.”
