Baylor defensive end Sam Ukwuachu transferred from Boise State to Baylor in 2013, but he was ineligible to play in 2014 due to sexual allegations held against him. Here’s the kicker, however, no one outside of Baylor knew about it.
In a lengthy column, the Texas Monthly elaborates on the silence from Baylor.
Now, Ukwuachu has been found guilty of rape.
Acts of sexual violence contradict every value Baylor University upholds as a caring Christian community. In recent years we have joined university efforts nationally to prevent campus violence against women and sexual assault, to actively support survivors of sexual assault with compassion and care, and to take action against perpetrators. We have established and fully staffed a Title IX office that employs a Title IX Coordinator and two full-time investigators. Maintaining a safe and caring community is central to Baylor’s mission and at the heart of our commitment to our students, faculty and staff.
The victim here is a former Baylor soccer player.
