Cheap Borussia Dortmund Jerseys China .The months of criticism over the response by the nations largest Baptist universitys to sex assault reports led to the firing of school president Ken Starr and popular football coach Art Briles.The Bears for Leadership Reform group says it wants to address regents transparency, appointments, conflicts of interest, structure and authority, as well as demanding more answers from the regents and the schools investigation into how it mishandled reports of sexual assaults for years.The groups leaders include Drayton McLane, whose name is on the $266 million football stadium built at the height of the programs success under Briles, and former Texas Gov. Mark White. White insisted the groups goal is not about defending Briles or the football program.Not taking a position on (football) one way or another, White said. This is about urging the transformation of Baylor leadership.But football -- and Briles departure in May -- remains an emotionally charged topic on campus.Last Friday, Baylors assistant football coaches released a statement defending Briles and directly contradicting statements made by a regent. On Saturday, fans lined up to buy black T-shirts with Briles initials that were being sold outside the stadium, where Baylor lost to TCU 62-22.Starr and Briles were forced out or fired in May and the athletic director quit after Baylor published a Findings of Fact prepared by law firm Pepper Hamilton, which noted that the school mishandled assault allegations for years and that the football program acted above the rules.University regents revealed last week that 17 women reported assaults by 19 football players since 2011, but have been mostly reluctant to publicly detail the investigations findings.Sexual assault allegations ranged far beyond the football program, however, and the university is now facing at least four federal lawsuits. Patty Crawford, the schools former Title IX investigator, resigned last month and filed a formal complaint with the Office of Civil Rights for the U.S. Department of Education, which has opened a separate investigation of Baylors handling of assault cases.White said the regents have been too secretive.If you have to do it in secret, you might check your hold card to see if you are doing the right thing ... Maybe thats not what a good Baptist should be talking about, White said.The group also wants to be involved in selecting a new school president, White said. Interim President David Garland has served since Starr was removed from the office.Baylor spokeswoman Tonya Lewis said administrators and regents share the groups goals of transparency and accountability and helping assault victims, and look forward to engaging in constructive dialogue about meaningful reform.---This story has been updated to correct the spelling of McLane.
