The Pennsylvania Supreme Court agreed on Tuesday to review a lower-court ruling that would make the salaries of Joe Paterno and other university officials available to the public.
The court’s decision to review the case came in response to an appeal by Penn State, Paterno, and three university administrators who are challenging a decision by the State Employees’ Retirement System to release formerly private pension-related information.

The movement began in 2005 when a Pennsylvania Court ruled that the salaries were public under the state Right-to-Know Law. Penn State appealed, arguing that releasing the information violates individual privacy rights.
