You mean they take stands that are meaningless, but are ones that allow them to wear the moral superiority hat? who knew

There should be a sarcasm font.

Here was a funny post I saw on Facebook: Why yes, this sends such a strong powerful message that Baylor will not allow even a hint of violence against women to rear its ugly head on campus (note the sarcasm)

I mean, not as much as keeping Lacedarius on the BBall team did. Or telling players they will not play if they are arrested (what a wild concept there!) But that honorary degree from 10 years ago, why yes, that totally instills confidence that Baylor takes violence against women seriously.

Oddly, I doubt anyone outside of a handful of senior (read old) faculty even knew he had one. Now they make a public announcement? Yeah, there's nothing gratuitous about that.

Too little, too late again hypocrites.
As with their non-conference schedule, Baylol prefers the easy victories.

So they rescinded the non-degree from the non-student.

And let the actual rapist walk across the stage and get an actual degree.

Makes perfect sense...in wacko

What's the point of publicizing this? Private university, private Board meeting. Take the vote, send Cosby the letter informing him of the action taken, and scrub the official web-sites of references to him.

Next thing you know, they will take official stands against that Brenham vet for killing that cat and Ray Rice for domestic violence.

They named him an honorary member of the football team instead.
