Baylor University responded Tuesday to reports that the school’s board of regents voted to fire school President Ken Starr amid mounting pressure over how the school has handled reports of rape and assault by football players, saying no decision has yet been made.
The Texas university said its governing board was still considering the results of an internal investigation into the matter.
When asked about reports that the board of regents had voted to fire Starr, university spokeswoman Lori Fogleman told the Associated Press in an email, “Ken Starr is president and chancellor of Baylor University.”
In a separate statement issued by the university obtained by Fox Sports, Baylor said its board has not finished reviewing the report by Philadelphia law firm Pepper Hamilton.
“The Baylor Board of Regents continues its work to review the findings of the Pepper Hamilton investigation and we anticipate further communication will come after the Board completes its deliberations,” spokeswoman Tonya Lewis said in a statement obtained by Fox Sports. “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.”
