As it struggles to move past a scandal over its handling of sexual assault on campus, Baylor University has hired its first female president.
Linda Livingstone, a management professor and dean of George Washington University’s business school, will take over the top job at the private Baptist university on June 1. She’ll replace David Garland, who has been serving as interim president since his predecessor, Ken Starr, was fired last year.
Livingstone previously taught at Baylor from 1991 to 2002, and served as associate dean of graduate programs at Baylor’s business school for her last four years in Waco.
