JOHNSTOWN, Pa. —

Bishop McCort principal Ken Salem was placed on administrative leave with pay on Friday.

McCort high school has been in the midst of controversy since dozens of former students have accused the late Friar Brother Stephen Baker with sexual abuse. Baker worked as an athletic trainer at the school in the 1990s.

6 News received a letter from Salem’s attorney as well as a statement from McCort’s trustees.

The attorney statement blasted the action, saying it violated “fundamental fairness.”
