[font size=5]Baylor's Ken Starr Is Full Of Shit[/font]

Today it was Ken Starr—yes, that Ken Starr—taking his turn with his version of the truth. On Thursday, the regents said they were keeping him on as chancellor and as a tenured professor at the law school. That news, like so much else of what Baylor has said, got the Baptist university bad press. Today, Starr told ESPN’s Joe Schad that he has decided to step down as chancellor but stay on at the law school. Starr said the move was “a matter of conscience.” (He didn’t point out that June 1 also has in the past been a key date for his contract.) ....

Ken Starr: “I’m behind a veil of ignorance.”

The president and chancellor of a university, the person in charge of running the place, said he had no idea what was going on at his university. He was either willfully ignorant, genuinely stupid, or lying. ....

Starr also has insisted that he had no idea there was a problem at Baylor until 2015, even though former Baylor football player Tevin Elliot was convicted of two counts of sexual assault in 2014. Several of his victims have spoken openly about how they reported their rapes to Baylor only to be met with indifference. ... ....

All of this—the endless PR statements, the baffling sit-down interviews, Starr giving an interview where his statements are on-air being shown as lies—is possible because Baylor still hasn’t said what really happened. Yes, the documents released Thursday had strong language and they sounded scary but they didn’t have any real facts behind them. There were no names for who was involved, no timeline of events, not even an attempt to to put a number on how many women at Baylor were sexually assaulted. ....
