Who’d have thought it might be a problem to keep a guy on the payroll of the law school who’d just been excoriated by a law firm’s internal investigation of a sexual assault scandal? [And by “a” scandal, we mean a single academic/athletic scandal of how they dealt with multiple individual assaults.]
Oh, right. I thought that was a bad idea.

Per the Waco Tribune:
“The mutually agreed separation comes with the greatest respect and love Judge Starr has for Baylor and with Baylor’s recognition and appreciation for Judge Starr’s many contributions to Baylor. Baylor wishes Judge Ken Starr well in his future endeavors. Judge Starr expresses his thanks to the Baylor family for the opportunity to serve as president and chancellor and is grateful for his time with the exceptional students of Baylor University who will lead and serve around the world,” said the joint statement from Starr and the university.
Fare thee well, Judge Starr!
