Related: About this forumMike Malloy - Ken Star Fired As Baylor President For Sexual Abuse Scandal
Baylor University declined to comment on reports on Tuesday that Kenneth Starr, the former independent counsel charged with investigating Bill Clinton during his presidency who is now the president of the world's largest Baptist college, has been fired over sexual abuse scandals at the school.
In the past several months, the central Texas university has faced criticism of not doing enough to investigate reports of rapes of female students by its male athletes.
Local TV broadcaster KCEN reported on Tuesday that Starr had been fired, citing sources close to the Board of Regents.
"We will not respond to rumors, speculation or reports based on unnamed sources, but when official news is available, the University will provide it. We expect an announcement by June 3," the school said in a statement.
In March, a former student at Baylor brought a negligence lawsuit in federal court against the school, claiming it acted callously and indifferently after she was raped by a Baylor football player.

to catch the president in a lie. Sponsored by the GOP. The same GOP crowd that was guilty on multiple accounts of extra-marital affairs. Castings stones at the man and woman they hated to the core, Bill & Hillary Clinton. The same bullies running amuck in the GOP controlled congress today.
Held in admiration by the right, Star probably felt he was above the law and could decide what was and was not worthy of investigation.
Thank goodness for the student who kept pressing for what was just and for the Board of Regents, who listened and took unilateral action.
