Summary
This document appears to be a page from a memoir or statement (likely by Ken Starr) detailing the internal reaction to sexual assault allegations at Baylor University. It describes the hiring of law firm Pepper Hamilton in September 2015 to conduct an independent investigation, which concluded in May 2016 with a verbal report finding a 'fundamental failure' by the university. The text outlines the public fallout, including media coverage by ESPN, and poses rhetorical questions about institutional negligence regarding sexual violence.
