Alumnus afraid Starr will bring ‘political baggage’

Can we put aside our petty differ- ences and welcome the new Baylor president? Can we give our new leader a chance before dividing into warring factions? That’s how I felt yesterday. But today brought the news that Kenneth Starr will be Baylor’s 14th president. Myself and other alumni I’ve been e- mailing today feel like our degrees are worth less than they were yesterday because of this decision. Regardless of how imminently qualified Mr. Starr is, it ignores the starkly negative political baggage his name carries. When my potential future employer in North Carolina or California read “Kenneth Starr to Head Baylor” this morning on Po- litico, Baylor likely became somewhat farcical to him or her. Reputation is important. I think that this is a purely political Court should rule to protect citizens choice, meant to appease disenchanted conservatives. In my opinion the Bay- lor Board of Regents did not put the general welfare of Baylor’s students against terrorist organizations and alumni first. If the Baylor family, instead of just the Regents, had a real say in the matter, we wouldn’t be reading about Kenneth Starr today. Upcoming Supreme Court hearing will decide
