Among university presidents, Graham B. Spanier is known for having an unusually close rapport with students at Penn State: entertaining them with magic tricks; teaching a leadership class; even stepping in as the school mascot, the Nittany Lion.

But now Spanier, 63, a trained family therapist who has written about children and holds a Ph.D. in sociology, faces growing criticism on and off campus about his role in an unfolding scandal involving Jerry Sandusky, a former defensive coordinator for the Penn State football team who was arrested Saturday on charges of sexually abusing eight boys over a 15-year period.

Sandusky was arrested Saturday on charges of sexually abusing eight boys over 15 years.

Two university officials have stepped down in the scandal after they were charged with providing false testimony to a grand jury and failure to report allegations of suspected child abuse. Spanier, who has been president since 1995, was not charged, but a grand jury said that he was made aware of a report of an incident in 2002.
