As background, Starr was stripped of his title as President of Baylor but keep the title of Chancellor. He is also a tenured professor of the law school.

A gutless wonder

Another haiku:

Go along to get along
It was about the money
Rapes not a concern

In a Greek tragedy he’s be stabbed to death by a horde of co-eds.

It’s funny how hard Baylor’s trying to keep him on the payroll. They keep demoting him then looking around to see if that’s enough punishment for the masses.

Guess the support for the Clintons last week wasn’t enough...that’s what you get when you sell your SOUL.

I would like to see President Trump issue an Executive Order outlawing tenure.

Here we have Obama overstepping his authority by forcing transgender rules on all the public schools in the country, and you want Trump to act in a similar fashion?

The Constitution forbids states from passing any law impairing the obligation of contracts (Act. I, Sec. 10). I'm sure if Congress tried to do that at the federal level, the courts would rule it unconstitutional. But it would be OK for a President to do so? (Tenure is a contract--the tenured person has job security barring serious offenses.)

Most professors are liberals, but 100% of administrators are (other than at a few places like Hillsdale College). Without tenure the administration has total control and conservative professors would be quickly weeded out.

I thought it was Starr who called for the independent investigation of the sexual assault cover-up allegations about a year ago.

He did. The demotion was a reaction to the results of the investigation he started. His subsequent firing, oops, resignation, is a result of the media witch hunt for the Clinton special “persecutor”, questioning why he still had a job. He should have, at the very least, retained his position and been commended for launching the investigationin the first place, less than a week after the assailant was adjudicated as guilty. Most programs are forced to launch investigations after being caught by the NCAA.
