Feuding Over Sex-Assault Scandal Intensifies Spotlight on Baylor

Baylor University has been criticized for months for being slow to divulge details about a spate of sexual assaults that rocked the campus and toppled its leadership. Now, the university is seeking to regain control of its message with a series of moves that are raising eyebrows among alumni and activists. This week, it set up a website, The Truth, in which it has been taking on its critics as part of an effort to increase transparency. The aggressive tone of some of its posts contrasts sharply with what many have described as the university’s previous silence on the scandal. For activists on the campus, the public feuding has reopened old wounds.
