The Baylor board of regents on Tuesday removed Kenneth Starr as school president and chancellor after six years and offered him a leadership position in the BU law school, sources told HornsDigest.com.

The man now says BC was a good ole boy and the greatest politician of his lifetime!!
Of course this being Texas, the head coach who recruited and played the rapists looks like is getting off. JUST WIN BABY!
Art Briles and his snotty-nosed kid need to be fired. I despise Briles.
Wow, the irony here is incredible!
I am sure there is certain justice to this. No sympathy for Starr.
Absolutely agree, but having been in/around academia for a good portion of my adult life, I can tell you there’s more here than meets the eye. Typically, these dismissals come after a series of run-ins between the board of regents and the president. If the college is successful academically and athletically (as Baylor has been), the regents have to wait for something else. In this case, it was a sex scandal involving members of the football team.
Since Baylor is a Texas school, there was no consideration of firing Briles, since the school has enjoyed unmatched success on the gridiron during his tenure. And, you can’t fire the AD, since he has capitalized on Baylor’s new-found athletic prowess to fund raise. So, who gets canned? The college president who had been fighting an on-going board with the regents.
Someone had to take the fall, and they didn’t want to risk their highly rated football program by holding the coach responsible for his role.

Good Riddance!
“Wow, the irony here is incredible!”
Well, mancini, it depends on what the meaning if “is” is!

Kenneth Starr did a poor job, I think< prosecuting Clinton for his many crimes including rape, molestation and lieing in the teeth of a Federal judge . I think he covered up sex crimes in that job and the job he had at Baylor now,IMO. Also, I found this sickening quote from him in reported at MSN.com http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/kenneth-starr-reportedly-fired-as-baylor-president-amid-football-team-sex-scandal/ar-BBtq21X?ocid=ansmsnnews11
“In an odd bit of timing, Starr recently praised Clinton, almost, according to the New York Times, “seeming to absolve” the former president and calling him “the most gifted politician of the baby boomer generation.”
“There are certain tragic dimensions which we all lament,” he said during a panel discussion on the presidency at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia. “That having been said, the idea of this redemptive process afterwards, we have certainly seen that powerfully” in Clinton’s post-presidency.
Starr went on to say of Clinton: “His genuine empathy for human beings is absolutely clear. It is powerful, it is palpable and the folks of Arkansas really understood that about him — that he genuinely cared. The ‘I feel your pain’ is absolutely genuine.”
What a white wash and waste of taxpayers funds, IMO. Adios. What about the coach?
All good points. We’ll see if the NCAA will do anything following Starr’s demise. Perhaps they’ll discover “a loss of institutional control” as with SMU. But, I doubt that the NCAA will ever issue the death penalty again.
SMU had no impact on the local Dallas economy, which was why it was easy to give SMU the Death Penalty.
Giving Baylor the Death Penalty would kill the Waco economy.
Without question. Even without the death penalty, Waco is viewed by most as a “pit stop” on the way to Austin or DFW, depending on their direction of travel.
Well now that there’s a new Buc-ee’s in Fort Worth, that will probably take a hit as well.
” I feel your pain (and then your coochie...)”
LOL, true that!
