...Of Baylor University, that is!
AP reports.
I don't know how well-known the school is outside of the state, but Baylor is one of the best private universities in Texas. The best damn governor ever to serve out of Austin was a Baylor alum, I'm talking, of course, about Ann Richards.
The world’s largest Baptist university announced Monday that Starr would be the Waco school’s 14th president. The 63-year-old Starr has been the dean of Pepperdine University’s School of Law in Malibu, Calif., since 2004.
This'll be good for the students at Baylor. If ever one of them ends up in any kind of sexual imbroglio, the president of the university will commence to haul their peers and sexual partners into a grand jury session, and then produce a lengthy, pornographically detailed report which will be issued to the whole of the student body; not to mention available in pdf format on Baylor's website. Great call, Baylor Board of Regents!
I think Ken Starr should be cowering in some cave somewhere, but that's just me. The man is a disgrace to his profession, and really his whole species. A fraud, a charlatan, a huckster. The kind of cheap human being who in another time would've been relegated to conducting a traveling tent revival full of side-show nonsense. In our reality TV culture he's the president of a supposedly respectable univesity.
In any case, this says a lot about Baylor University's leaders.
What do you think?
