Quote Board of Regents 2023-2024 The Board of Regents is the official governing body of Baylor University. Voting regents are selected by election, with 75% of the membership elected by the Regents themselves and up to 25% elected through a process with the Baptist General Convention of Texas. In addition, beginning in 2016, three additional Regents joined the Board as "Alumni-Elected Regents." Regents serve a three-year term, and may serve up to three terms consecutively before they must rotate off the Board for at least one year. Executive Committee William 'Bill' E.

It took the lawsuit nine nine years to conclude, so it doesn't seem as if the school was very proactive in doing the Christian thing: Quote Baylor settles 2016 sexual assault lawsuit with 15 survivors ESPN News Services Sep 18, 2023, 08:53 PM ET Baylor University has settled a yearslong federal lawsuit brought by 15 women who alleged they were sexually assaulted at the nation's biggest Baptist school, ending the largest case brought in a wide-ranging scandal that led to the ouster of university president Ken Starr and football coach Art Briles, and tainted the school's reputation. Notification of the settlement was filed in online court records Monday. The lawsuit was first filed in June 2016. Among the 15 plaintiffs was a woman who alleged being assaulted by a football player in April 2014, a woman who reported that two football players assaulted her in April 2016 and a woman who said a player on the rugby team -- a club sport at Baylor -- assaulted her in fall 2012, according to the complaints. The lawsuit was one of several that were filed that alleged staff and administrators ignored or stifled reports from women who said they were assaulted on or near campus. Among the early claims from some women in the lawsuit were that school officials sometimes used the campus conduct code that banned alcohol, drugs and premarital sex to pressure women not to report being attacked. Another previously settled lawsuit alleged Baylor fostered a "hunting ground for sexual predators." EDITOR'S PICKS Devastating discoveries: 'Violated' examines the sexual assault scandal at Baylor 6yPaula Lavigne and Mark Schlabach Briles to coach new spring football team in Dallas 43dDave Wilson Baylor settles lawsuit that alleged gang rape 5yPaula Lavigne The terms of the settlement announced Monday were not disclosed. "We are deeply sorry for anyone connected with the Baylor community who has been harmed by sexual violence," Baylor University said in a statement. "While we can never erase the reprehensible acts of the past, we pray that this agreement will allow these 15 survivors to move forward in a supportive manner." The scandal erupted in 2015 and 2016 with assault allegations made against football players. The school hired Philadelphia law firm Pepper Hamilton to investigate how it handled those assaults and others. The law firm's report determined that under the leadership of Starr, Baylor did little to respond to accusations of sexual assault involving football players over several years. It also raised broader questions of how the school responded to sexual assault claims across campus. Starr, the former prosecutor who led the investigation of the Bill Clinton-Monica Lewinsky scandal, was removed as president and later left the university. He died in 2022. Also fired was Briles, who denied he covered up sexual violence in his program. Briles had led the program to a Big 12 championship, but he has not returned to major college coaching; most recently, he was hired to coach in a new spring professional league with three teams in the United States and three in Mexico. Baylor officials have said the school has made sweeping changes to how it addresses sexual assault claims and victims in response to the Pepper Hamilton report. That report has never been fully released publicly, despite efforts by the women suing the school to force it into the open. Chad Dunn, an attorney for the women who settled Monday, said the lawsuit and scandal went far beyond the problems in the football program that captured early attention. "Their bravery and strength has created legal precedents that empower others to gain relief from the injuries inflicted by their universities, while also securing safer education environments for future generations," Dunn said. "Baylor's focus of media attention on football tried to misdirect attention from institutional failures of the Baylor administration. Our clients would have none of that. Their determination brought the focus on officials in the ivory tower and 'the Baylor way.' " Years ago the president of OU said, "we're building a university our football team can be proud of." If you think this is limited to the athletic department you're sorely mistaken.

September 22, 20232 yr Texas, Oklahoma were to pay a big price for early Big 12 exit.

The Big 12 announced in February that Texas and Oklahoma will forgo $100 million from the conference under an agreement that is allowing the schools to leave a year earlier than initially required. In response to recent questions from the USA TODAY Network, the conference said more than $80 million of that is based on money the schools will not get in 2024-25, the year after the move. The rest is attributed to cuts in full revenue shares for 2023-24 that Texas, Oklahoma and the rest of the Big 12’s continuing members will be taking to finance payments promised to four schools that joined the conference this summer. https://www.aol.com/entertainment/texas-oklahoma-were-pay-big-135448646.html

It's not connected! Even later... That football program serial rape cover-up and victim smearing campaign was just an isolated incident, you can't hold an institution responsible for what dozens of guys did! So what that the institution led about it and tried to avoid punishing the scumbags responsible, that won't obviously lead to future incidents! Holding the institution responsible is absurd! These incidents aren't connected! They definitely don't keep happening and continue to involve more and more shitbags because the institution has shown a complete lack of morals that encourages shitty behavior! That's crazy talk! /big-brained @Doc Daneeka, probably If big-brained Huckleberry had read what I’ve written, he’d have seen that I said multiple times the bad actors should be punished and probably in prison. Maybe he likes collective guilt. That’s his prerogative. I don’t. I didn’t care about Baylor football before and don’t now.

The problem is that even if the NCAA had hammered them, I still wouldn’t care about them so that outcome is irrelevant to my position. Edited September 22, 20232 yr by Doc Daneeka
September 22, 20232 yr There are still people at Baylor who were complicit and their institutional approach hasn't changed specifically because there are enough simpletons like you in the world who just figure the bad guys are gone. At the risk of invoking Godwin"s Law your position is as dumb as saying you don't care about German Nazis because none of the current ones were involved in past atrocities. You are choosing to go through life being wilfully ignorant. It's a nice defense mechanism but doesn't really give you the platform to claim you're smarter than other people.
