If you say it often enough maybe the Easter Bunny will come.Dman said:Keyser Soze said:TexasScientist said:If all of this rose to the level of requiring resignations, then it certainly should have included the BOR. The buck should have ended with them.Keyser Soze said:TexasScientist said:I believe the BOR didn't establish a policy with protocols that would effectively implement Title IX (either overtly and/or by omission). I further believe that the administration, and ultimately the BOR, essentially had an unwritten policy of denial, to do what it could to cover up negative events, in order to prevent negative public exposure to protect the school's image and reputation as a "Christian" school that is essentially free from this type of crime.Keyser Soze said:TexasScientist said:"I never had the authority, the resources, or the independence to do the job appropriately, which the Department of Education writes in its guidance for Title IX coordinators in universities," Crawford said. She said that included being disconnected from meetings and conversations, and the university "making decisions only a Title IX coordinator should make, based on protection for the brand." CBS NewsKeyser Soze said:
That is not an answer to the the question asked.
I agree with many of Crawford's complaints. Do you really think the BOR set a policy to not support the Title IX Coordinator?
Your first sentence is accurate. There were failures at every level. Starr, the employee and CEO was ultimately responsible for the details.
There was plenty about protecting the brand in what was released to the public. This is a huge reason Briles was paid for his silence.
I really don't believe the unwritten rule as you say at all though it is easy to see how people would make that assertion. Old school attitudes along with lack of training made people made people unaware and insensitive to a fault. Not speaking of you but there are a lot of posters on this site that are unaware and insensitive to a fault.
Here is how this happened as described in the book Violated. Girl goes to counselor and says she was assaulted after being really drunk at a party. The counselor explains a he said she said is hard to go forward and that girl may have her own honor code problems about the drinking. The counselor's sincere intent was to help the girl - but there was no question the end result was suppressing reporting of assaults. This was a complex cultural problem that permeated all levels.
FYI - one of the 105 recommendations implemented was amnesty for any victim coming forward was well as any potential witness. Also a side note on police chief Doak - this was a sorry individual and the most overt at discouraging victims - the more subtle untrained counselor above was more the norm.
Which BOR? Plenty to fault, the vast majority of which had nothing to with the 2016 group that actually pushed the changes for the better. The 2019 BOR is even more detached and is operating under a many new guidelines. Many of the standards football fans think should be imposed would also create a system where a BOR would have incentive to collude with a Starr or Briles to keep things from ever being fixed - I suspect many would have been very happy for that to happen though they wouldn't say it.
Resignations / terminations were primarily those that withheld information from investigators.
Shill,
Great story. Great spin. But you were defending and excusing the BoR the moment this broke open. Day after day on Baylor fans you were claiming there should be NO accountability for the BoR members. You spent months trying to falsely tell us how those BoR members are not accountable for actions at the school level or decisions as a leadership body or lack of institutional oversight. Therefore none should be removed. Blatant lie. incorrect. and false. Now the spin is.."Which BoR do you want to punish? Those guys are gone". Again, some still remain. None should have been allowed to stay. And they damn shouldn't have been allowed to hand pick their own replacements as they phase out. Why in God's name would we trust their judgement? It's worse than yours.
I'm thrilled loud enough voices FORCED change. But that's not credit they get. They weren't voluntarily made. None were in the works prior. They were made because they were under a microscope for their failures.
No matter what you think the world thinks otherwise. It gives a big yawn at your ranting. You can't even be give specifics about who did what. That is good starting point. You have been challenged to provide that and cower at the question. We have been give a mea culpa from day one and apologies - and many changes. Your narrow mind only sees a head on a pike as accountability and few other than the Italian football fans agree with that.
So who remains and who did what? ..... but we know you won't answer, you never answer. You just ***** and moan .... man up and tell us.
