The strict student conduct code at Baylor, which bans alcohol, drugs and premarital sex, may have led to female rape victims remaining silent for fear of being punished themselves.
The Associated Press reports that some students at the school, those who attempted to report their assaults to the university, were told by Baylor that their parents would be informed of their drug and alcohol abuse, and they could be charged with conduct code violations.
"A number of victims were told that if they made a report of rape, their parents would be informed of the details of where they were and what they were doing," said Chad Dunn, an attorney representing six women who have sued Baylor.
