In October 2016, Patty Crawford resigned from her position as Baylor University’s Title IX coordinator after two years on the job due to the school’s deep institutional corruption around how it handles sexual violence. She says the school’s leadership worked hard to prevent her from properly doing her job.
The Waco Tribune-Herald reports:
Crawford also said a “large group of powerful faculty” felt that Title IX, in addition to the school’s initiatives to increase diversity, were “not biblical.” She alleged the faculty members framed Title IX as an issue of academic freedom and appealed to influential board members that compliance should not be enforced.
It looks like the white evangelicals are working at all levels to keep enabling rape culture! The idea that leaders can argue that non-discrimination is against their religion is not only laughable—it’s dangerous. It makes the reasons for white evangelical support of Trump and Kavanaugh even more clear.
