Buddy Jones calls Baylor rape accusers 'perverted, despicable'

In emails, then-Baylor regent calls students suspected of drinking 'perverted little tarts'

What a scumbag.

Baylor is an ongoing monument to everything that is wrong with higher education, and college athletics in particular.

It's reprehensible that Baylor still has an athletic department.

God's just trolling Baylor, right?

Some of these so-called evangelical people and religious folks make me wonder what passes for morality in churches these days. Or are they on a Sundays-only plan.

Looking at the world we live in I think God is trolling us.

Baylor's issues have nothing to do with athletics. They are institutional and have been ingrained at the upper levels of the administration for decades.

In emails, then-Baylor regent calls students suspected of drinking 'perverted little tarts'

What a scumbag.

What your headline says isn't what he did.

Here's the first two grafs:

Then-Baylor University Regent Neal “Buddy” Jones referred to female students he suspected of drinking alcohol as “perverted little tarts,” “very bad apples,” “insidious and inbred” and “the vilest and most despicable of girls” in 2009 emails to a faculty adviser, according to documents filed in a Title IX lawsuit against the university.

Ten alleged sexual assault victims suing Baylor attached the emails in a Friday legal filing to show a culture “using the alcohol policy as a pretext to shame, silence and threaten to expel a female student.”

****

The regent wrote crude, thoughtless things about girls under 21 who were drinking.

But those girls weren't accusing anyone of sexual assault. As far as we know, the girls in question in the email weren't assaulted at all. They were just girls, drinking.

Now then: The lawyers of the alleged assault victims are saying the emails are reflective of a culture that contributed to these sexual assaults. But - and this is also from the story:

The filing does not indicate whether any of the women Jones was writing about are among the 10 anonymous plaintiffs in the suit. The 10 women allege assaults at Baylor that range between 2004 and 2016.

Well, thanks for clearing that up. That makes it so much better.
It's part and parcel of blaming the victim. Drunk little sluts get raped.
So it's not okay to have four beers. But's we're going to cover up the rapes of the girls who have four beers.

You can be as sarcastic as you want to be. But this email was not in relation to sexual assaults, or, at least, the plaintiffs lawyers didn't say that it was.

Further, I haven't paid close enough attention to the Baylor case to know, but the story doesn't indicate that this regent was part of any coverup, and, in the case of Penn State's trustees, I don't recall any of them being implicated in covering up the Sandusky stuff.

I don't think this regent is advocating the coverup of rapes - at least, not based on these emails. He isn't saying "it's OK."

And what he wrote also isn't OK. But, hey, let's be accurate about it.

Typical drink-wet-and-vote-dry Baptists. They were disco'ing in the 70s while banning dancing. Fake religion.
