Violated: Exposing Rape at Baylor University amid College Football's Sexual Assault Crisis by Paula LavigneMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
What ever happened to Ken Starr after the puritanical Starr Report and all that? Well, Starr on February 15, 2010, he became Baylor University's president. While Starr was "leading the charge" to keep the university in the Big 12 Conference for athletics, Starr was additionally named chancellor of Baylor in November 2013, becoming the first person to hold the positions of president and chancellor at Baylor at the same time. In September 2015, Baylor's Board of Regents initiated an external review of the university's response to reports of sexual violence to be conducted by the Pepper Hamilton law firm. Baylor had been accused of failing to respond to reports of rape and sexual assault filed by at least six female students from 2009 to 2016. Two former football players, Tevin Elliot and Sam Ukwuachu, were convicted of rape. This detailed investigation recounts the events leading up to Elliot's 20-year sentence after his conviction and, in 2014 Starr's removal as university president. So many women were victimized and traumatized in a culture that so elevated the status of University athletes that the Title IX investigations read like a RICO take down of an organized crime outfit.
That was on Starr's watch at a private Baptist university in Waco, Texas... Only in America.
