Ken Starr: He’s a hypocrite

For those too young at the time, or who don’t want to remember, I recall the 1998 impeachment proceedings, which were based on the investigation by independent counsel Ken Starr. Just after the House impeached President Bill Clinton, the now-convicted felon Dennis Hastert rose to be speaker of the House.

While I’m not condoning Clinton’s behavior with Monica Lewinsky, he was impeached for lying under oath about the affair. But who of you, if you had an affair while married, would admit same, knowing your spouse would find out?

For the last several months, Baylor University has been in the news for sexual assaults on female undergrads by athletes. These aren’t just allegations; two have been convicted so far. How are the two events related? Starr was welcomed by cheering crowds at a football game when his appointment as president was announced.

What were his credentials other than being a conservative Christian and hounding Clinton with multiple investigations?

What really strikes me is his hypocrisy or cowardice. Where was he when there was a candlelight vigil in support of the assault victims? Nowhere to be seen.

Students, staff suffer

I was very much concerned that Ken Starr was “behind the veil of ignorance” when it came to problems facing Baylor. When he was president and making nearly $1 million a year as well as traveling around the country, how many other problems was he not aware of?

So the students and staff have to suffer because he did not do his job. The last thing that the university should do is allow Starr to stay on the payroll and teach law.
