“Earning your trust”??? You call yourself a Christian University. What is Christian about Baylor University?
You represent the exact opposite.
I wish we could see into their “war room” and what stops they’re willing to pull out to stay a power conference team. They have to hope the Big12 stays together as They have no chance otherwise, you’d think. Baylor’s slippery though and they have to have an ace up their sleeve.
Interesting. Any reviews on it?
Amazon shows it available on 8-22. Should be an interesting read and even more interesting responses.
RapeU in review.
“We’re broken-hearted about the women who have been harmed over the years because of the neglect of a department of our leaders to take care of that problem,” he said, according to a transcript of the event, which launched the advocacy group Bears for Leadership Reform. “We’re broken-hearted for Baylor, a school that holds itself out to be a caring, Christian university.”
But when questioned by reporters last week, a school spokeswoman stood by the hiring. “There’s a great documentary he’s put out there on his testimony, and that is the one thing everybody needs to see right now,” the spokesperson said. “That he’s a man of Christ.”
She did not refer to the film by name, but if she was referencing Disgraced, then it’s obvious she did not really pay attention to it. The testimony of Bliss in that documentary reveals a vain man who feels that he, not the dead man, was the victim of that murder at Baylor. And it’s hard to understand how that could qualify Bliss as a man of Christ.
The Baylor inanity never ends. #RapeU

This will allow us to see documents, emails, phone call transcripts potentially and give an insight to everything that was going on with the Title IX complaints at the school.
“I think there is going to be a lot of eye-opening information there,” one Baylor victim said via text Friday. “I think you can expect a lot more that we didn’t know already.”

According to the lawsuits, three students went directly to the Baylor Police Department and two went to the university president’s office to report sexual assaults. Others told their professors, the Baylor Judicial Affairs office, a dorm chaplain, the university vice provost, the Baylor Advocacy Center, two athletic department officials and the Title IX Office.
In each case, the former student said she was given little direction or offered vague promises that something would be done. Most of the women said they later saw their assailant around campus in the weeks and months that followed. Four women said the university did nothing to prevent such encounters, according to court records.
The article also has some info about some of the rape cases; Waco PD comes off very badly in the excerpts.
According to Baylor regents and other administrators, its athletics department avoided random drug testing because of the university’s overall strict policy against marijuana use, in which one reported incident might lead to suspension for a semester and a second incident could result in expulsion. Since the university’s strict conduct code might derail a student-athlete’s career, athletic department officials didn’t think it was fair to subject them to random testing.
True insanity or directed insanity? So it is the same University that calls themselves Christians and now we found out that their players doped. One can say it was not directed at sports drug testing but how can we trust Baylor. “We did not think it was fair” How far did their real drug testing go? These abject rape cases have opened up another door. Again, this falls back on the ncaa. ncaa sanctioned programs are subject to strict drug testing. It is clear that Baylor was not in compliance. How could the ncaa not be aware of this and how many other P5 programs do the same? Doping has been a huge problem. It seems like it still is. It has been proven time and time again that a player under steroids or other doping agents is more likely to be over aggressive vs non doper. Does that explain rape? It sure could have contributed to this culture.
Hush money paid to another accuser and now Briles is talking about coaching again
Mark Lanier, Briles’ attorney, said schools have contacted his client about coaching again, and he expects Briles to be coaching in 2018. Briles was fired in May 2016 amid the school’s sexual assault scandal.
“There’s no question this is one step toward him getting back into coaching,” Lanier said. “He did not want to get back into coaching until he finished through the legal system.”
Lanier said Hernandez dropped the suit against Briles and did not request money or an apology from him.
Lanier said Briles feels “a measure of vindication” by Tuesday’s filing.
“He does feel bad for anybody who was hurt at all,” Lanier said of Briles. “Whether through Baylor or otherwise, he’s still got a soft heart for a victim of any crime at all. He’s cognizant of that.”
In his weekly appearance on Waco’s 1660-AM, Rhoades said that his three previous schools as athletic director - Akron, Houston and Missouri – had internal substance-abuse policies and testing for student-athletes.
“When I got to Baylor, we did not test,” Rhoades said, noting that any random testing would have only come during Big 12 or NCAA events. "We did not have any robust program. We implemented it. It was one of the 105 Pepper Hamilton recommendation. Now I can tell you this: that we would have implemented a policy whether or not that was a recommendation.
