Baylor University has a rape (culture) problem

Neal “Buddy” Jones

From Baylor University, a private Baptist institution in Texas, I give you Exhibit A:

As a Baylor University regent, prominent Texas lobbyist Neal “Buddy” Jones described female students who he suspected of drinking alcohol at parties as “perverted little tarts,” the “vilest and most despicable girls” and a “group of very bad apples,” according to emails he sent in 2009.

The emails, first reported by the Waco Tribune-Herald, were attached to a filing in one of several ongoing Title IX lawsuits against the private Baptist university.

“It is insidious and inbred,” Jones wrote of the students’ behavior, according to emails sent to a faculty adviser.

Jones, who spent a decade as a Baylor regent, including two years as board chairman, suggested to the Baylor administrator that one of the women be expelled. The administrator seemed to disagree in her reply, noting that the student was a senior who was of legal drinking age.

And now, Exhibit B:

Baylor has been mired in scandal for almost two years over how it has treated victims of sexual assault, especially incidents involving football players. Regents have told reporters that 19 football players have been involved in sexual violence since 2011. A legal filing in a separate case alleges that number is even higher.

The university still faces multiple lawsuits over these cases and is under investigation by the Big 12, the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights and the Texas Rangers. An investigation commissioned by the university itself suggested that some of the female victims were blamed for what happened to them after they came forward to report assaults.

I wonder if the two may be related in some way. Perhaps something cultural …?

Nah. Surely not. But just watch, I bet those nasty SJWs are gonna try to read something into this, too.
