(830 posts)37. finally a consequence for Starr
I attended Baylor in the 1990's, have 2 degrees from the school and find this firing to be both delicious in its irony and deserving in its execution. Baylor has grown so fast in the last 10 years that not paying attention to the details might be excused...if those details weren't the health, welfare and security of the female students. Keep in mind that Baylor has a much higher enrollment of females 58%, than males. The lack of response by the Baylor administration to rape allegations is shocking, firing the leader is an excellent start, but, lets see where else this goes and more importantly, what is ultimately done to address the safety concerns of women on campus.
