HOUSTON (AP) — A lawsuit filed against Baylor University by 10 women alleging they were sexually assaulted while students can proceed, a federal judge ruled Tuesday.
The women, identified as "Jane Doe" plaintiffs, allege Baylor was indifferent to or ignored claims of sexual assault and didn't enforce federal general discrimination protections.
Baylor had sought to have the lawsuit dismissed, arguing the former students' allegations were insufficient to state a claim of liability and the women had failed to plausibly allege they were subjected to "further" harassment after reporting their initial sexual assaults.

Pitman did dismiss claims for four of the women, saying the statute of limitations had run out for them to sue over Baylor's actions toward them after their alleged assaults. Pitman also dismissed claims all of the women had made under Texas law for negligence and breach of contract.
Baylor spokeswoman Tonya Lewis said the university was encouraged by the ruling....

Baylor’ problems just keep gettImg bigger.
When all is said and done, their football program may get the death penalty.
It should! It’s much worse than what SMU did.
“Baylor’ problems just keep gettImg bigger.

No, that’s reserved for SMU when they slip a C-Note to a player after a good game. Rape doesn’t rise to that level of depravity.
Ten or so years ago Baylor basketball players were murdering each other and then the entire athletic program moved on to harboring rapists.
Baylor used to be a respected Baptist university. What happened?
“Baylor used to be a respected Baptist university. What happened?”
They knelt to the false god of FootBaal and BasketBaal.
Homicide, rape, and pedophilia seems to be the dish of the day in college athletics.
They decided to cater to heathens that can play sports.... That's what happened.
Baylor is a cesspool of weakness and feminist tolerance, They are totally to blame for not standing up to this total bull shit.If a women gets assaulted , she should immediately call9 11— NOT THE COACHES OFFICE!! He does not and cannot care beyond what the court determines, Baylor had no Protocol because the board was LAX!! 32 fat cats that were way over their heads blames the football coach? Are you kidding me?
Here is a clue for the Baylor girls. Don’t go to the dorm room of some steroided up football players and if you do-— KEEP YOUR KNEES TOGETHER and call 911 if you are unhappy!! Don’t wait until next mornings BUYER’s REMORSE!!. Baylor totally sucks. I would never let my Sons go there because they don’t have due process. I earnestly beseech the Trump Justice Department to review the madness of Title 9 directives and return to due process sanity tro these bloated campus money machines.
Good rant. The football mania has killed morals on campus and replaced it with big money and vicious arrogance.
Girls are just as much to blame, running around with no clothes on, behaving like hookers on social media.
The young imitate the highschool’s, and they the colleges, and they the Pro Football crowd and Hollywood.
Baptized in evil?
When the kitties go to the dog house voluntarily, they really ought to realize they are on their own.
But I can’t cast any one sided blame here. Modernity has found itself shoehorned into a false egalitarianism. Guys aren’t gals nor vice versa. There are certain canons of respect that the two genders are wise to pay towards one another. Sometimes hormones can holler louder than sense can.
Society as a whole will need to become wiser before it can deal effectively with pickles like that. Social morality has to come from the heart, taught well in the church and in the home. We can’t look to the government to formulate it, or we will get a very ugly hash.
Modern society has debased larger canons of respect and love into sex appeal, and then it wonders why people can’t control themselves and families have become meaningless things. Well guess what. Sex appeal is not the whole sundae. It’s the cherry on top. Sooner should we try to live on a diet of breath mints.
If I were in that court’s position I would be tempted to throw out the whole case with a “de minimis non curat lex.” The whole place was one consensual scene of laxity. Shame on Baptists or “Baptists” for letting it get that way, but it was.
Both forms of CalvinBaal. (Not referring to the reformer Calvin here.)
High schools. I look back with such ruefulness at mine and this was in the mid seventies. Why should any high school drama department put on “Gypsy Rose Lee”? I remember because I was the honky tonk pianist in it. What a story. This abused girl (I also played piano for the girl singing a sad song about not knowing her age, because the family kept lying to her — because the key it was scored in was so gnarly that the orchestra couldn’t handle it, did the authors WANT to stump the orchestra?) grows up infantilized, and then finds “redemption” in being a lifetime striptease artist! People should be gasping in horror, not applauding, when the honky tonk scene happens. I’m ashamed I ever gave my fingers to that garbage. If I were staging it, I’d do a reprise back to the sad scene at the end, so people would know the perspective.
There wouldn’t even be a need for analyzing behaviors, if we had not already slid into a post-Christian America.
Sometimes I wonder if that section, scored in six flats or so, was intended to encourage the scene to just be dropped. It really gave the whole perspective that the musical really deserved to have. “Little fish... I wonder how old I am.”
Well it was the future HiTech RedNeck’s piano to the rescue of that one hint of sanity.
Well, maybe God did want us to look at them, because He wanted a better basis than social conventions for obedience. He wanted love.
