Baylor University, in response to allegations of sexual assaults by students -- including several football players -- announced Thursday that football coach Art Briles has been suspended with intent to terminate, and Kenneth Starr will no longer serve as the president but will stay at the school.
Baylor's actions come after the university's board of regents received an independent report from a law firm that investigated the school's response to sexual assault allegations.
"We were horrified by the extent of these acts of sexual violence on our campus. This investigation revealed the University's mishandling of reports in what should have been a supportive, responsive and caring environment for students," Richard Willis, chairman of the Baylor board of regents, said in a statement.
