Baylor releases one of those "no thats totally not true but yeah its true" denials re: Starrquote:The Baylor Board of Regents continues its work to review the findings of the Pepper Hamilton investigation and we anticipate further communication will come after the Board completes its deliberations. We will not respond to rumors, speculation or reports based on unnamed sources, but when official news is available, the University will provide it. We expect an announcement by June 3.

This is one of those things where I want them to do it just to see the reaction, even though objectively it is a wrong and stupid thing to do.

Toilet Mouth posted:My understanding is that the dismissal was due to allegations of something that happened at FAU before he came to Baylor. In which case they're correct, once they wash their hands of him, what he did at FAU is no longer their problem. It's more about the part where Jim Grobe (guy who was brought in to clean this poo poo up) insinuates that an investigation into sexual assault at Baylor will go away as long as Faulk goes to any other school

Veshpo posted:He's telling the coach, who's concerned about his former player, that Baylor's investigation of him will end when he leaves and he will be able to go on with no further prying or damage to his reputation. Of course the damage is pretty much done at this point, and if he's actually innocent they've really hosed him over, but that's how I interpret what he's recounting from Grobe. Yeah, precisely. Grobe is saying they'll stop an investigation into a sexual assault to protect a football player's reputation which is exactly what got them in trouble in the first place

Reportedly there is a vote tonight on bringing him back, and it's gonna be close. I'd definitely take this with a grain of salt but I would not at all put it past them.

If it were that easy no one would ever get convicted of anything "You mean I get to call the judge a horse-rear end, dick-suckin-rear end, big butt fuckman-rear end cracker AND not go to prison? Sign me up." And yeah I know I linked that on kinda flimsy pretense sorry, it just had me laughing my rear end off and I wanted to share

Your Baylor Friday Night News Dumpquote:WACO, Texas (June 24, 2016) – Baylor University and Art Briles have mutually agreed to terminate their employment relationship, effective immediately. Both parties acknowledge that there were serious shortcomings in the response to reports of sexual violence by some student-athletes, including deficiencies in University processes and the delegation of disciplinary responsibilities with the football program. Baylor is addressing these shortcomings and making ongoing improvements.

DJExile posted:Except Penn State didn't "crack", Penn State was blown open by people who finally came forward combined with some fantastic investigative reporting, it wasn't anything the school ever admitted to. Penn State released the Freeh Report to the public whereas Baylor is not even writing down the Pepper Hamilton report; that's the big difference.

Mel Mudkiper posted:I do imagine that if the Freeh Report had been more institutionally damning the BoT might have had more temptation to cover it up. The Freeh Report suggested the BoT was more or less non-culpable and that it was a small group within the University that oversaw the coverup. The Pepper Hamilton report sounds like to blows up everyone in the administration. You may be right and if I'm remembering the sequence of events correctly, by the time the Freeh report was ready Spanier and Curley had been indicted, Paterno was dead, and of course Sandusky was long arrested and indicted, so no one still in power was condemned by it. So a difference in that sense, but even so I think the point about being open vs. being secretive still stands depending on what the NCAA does

Shouldn't we be happy the cops handled it instead of Baylor's AD in-house for once? In any case I somehow doubt the athletic department knew Rami Hammad was outside this dude's office stalking a girl, saw his number on the caller ID and went "nah let's just ignore it"

Thermos H Christ posted:Yes it's a good thing that it was handled by the cops instead of the AD, that was my whole point. The prof should have called the police first. Picking up the phone to call the AD not just once but several times and only going to the police as a last resort would suggest that some very alarming behavior is still being referred to the AD instead of the cops. Oh I totally misunderstood I read it as the AD not picking up being Baylor learning nothing sorry for being a dummy

Let's get down to the real issue though.quote:WACO, Texas (KWTX) A Baylor University senior is speaking out in hopes of convincing administrators to do more to defend the school’s reputation, which he says has been tarnished in the aftermath of the sexual assault scandal that engulfed the football program.

I didn't even know pre-law existed as an actual major to be honest. I thought people just got degrees in things like History or Political Science or w/e while studying for the LSAT. That's what my lawyer friend did anyway.

I dunno that adding up a ledger and determining which is worse is a thing one should do, but I would argue it's a huge mark against Baylor that they watched the Penn State scandal unfold and still covered up rapes for the sake of football This quote makes me very angry quote:Thursday's legal filing recounts a meeting that Baylor alumni and donors had with regents, who were unwilling to share more details of the investigation, citing privacy concerns. It states that the regents tried to explain why they couldn't keep people whom they found responsible for Title IX failure because that would not uphold the "mission of the university." It quotes a donor as responding, "If you mention Baylor's mission one more time, I'm going to throw up. ... I was promised a national championship."

Grittybeard posted:To be...fair? Unfair? I'm not sure which. I'm under no illusions that there aren't people like that at every school; nevertheless the callousness of saying that when being presented with evidence of covering up rapes is pretty staggering Like if that statement was in response to giving money to players or even a minor academic scandal I'd probably be like "yeah whatever" but not here
