Baylors sex offense

claim challenged

Baylor University did not

report a single instance of
sexual assault in a fouryear span, according to
federal statistics, a finding
that stands in sharp contrast to the many other
private and public schools
that made multiple reports
over the same period.
The Baptist school of
16,000 students in Waco
has faced mounting criticism over its response to
sex assaults on campus,
and some critics contend
administrators have failed
to fully investigate complaints, including two involving football players
who were later convicted.
Theres always a red
flag that goes up when a
school reports zero incidents, said Neena
Chaudhry, senior counsel
for the National Womens
Law Center. I dont think
its a good sign when
youre not getting any
reports because its probably not true.
Among nearly 200 public and private institutions

in the U.S. with similar

enrollment, Baylor was one
of about two dozen schools
that reported no offenses.
Baylor has declined to
address specific allegations, though President and
Chancellor Ken Starr has
decried the scourge of
sexual violence.
Colleges and universities
are required to report
crime statistics to the Education Department. Prosecutors, alumni and students said they were dismayed by statistics that
showed Baylor reported no
sexual assaults from 2008
to 2011.
An Associated Press
review of the data shows
that during those years,
Texas Christian University,
with an enrollment of more
than 10,000 students,
reported 13 sex assaults on
campus. Southern Methodist University in Dallas,
with an enrollment topping
11,000, reported 15.
Nationally, Wilmington
Universitys campus in
New Castle, Del., was the
only other private institution with an enrollment
similar to Baylors that
reported no sex offenses
during that time. Most

reported at least a dozen

assaults, with Marquette
University reporting 15,
Notre Dame 26, Vanderbilt
recording 38 cases, and
Stanford 53.
Dozens of other universities are facing federal
investigations for the way
they handle student sex
assault allegations. For
instance, a lawsuit was
filed last week by a group
of women alleging that the
University of Tennessee
violated federal Title IX
anti-gender discrimination
regulations and created a
hostile sexual environment through a policy of
indifference toward assaults by student-athletes.
Its ridiculous to think
that no assaults occurred at
Baylor during those years,
said McLennan County
Assistant District Attorney
Hilary LaBorde. At a seminar at the school last year,
she said, she learned that
fewer than 10 percent of
women who contact the
campus Title IX office go
on to file a police report.
After that four-year span,
Baylor reported an increasing number of assaults: four in 2012, 11 in
2013 and 10 in 2014. Both
TCU and SMU also reported increases over the same
time with TCU reporting
32 cases and SMU 17.

EASING HOMELESSNESS

Seattle experiments
with new solutions

Live On Stage!
NETworks presents

BY PHUONG LE

The Associated Press

As homeless deaths
mounted last fall in Seattle,
elected officials declared
an emergency, resorting to
a tool often reserved for
natural disasters to confront the burgeoning population of people living on
the streets.
The mayor opened a new
city-sanctioned homeless
encampment and committed millions more dollars to
expand shelter beds and
social services. Then the
crisis hit new heights:
Three homeless boys were
charged this month with
killing two people at a longstanding homeless camp
known as The Jungle. And
a one-night census of
homeless revealed a 19
percent spike, the third
annual increase in as many
years.
Now the mayor and the
Seattle City Council are
under pressure to do more,
and they are taking steps to
offer the homeless cleaner,
safer places to stay. This
week, the city plans to open
two parking lots where
people living in RVs and
cars can park overnight
with access to toilets, garbage and social services.
Officials are also planning
a third tent community.
Seattles struggle to respond illustrates how challenging the homeless
problem is, particularly in
one of the fastest-growing
U.S. cities. The area is
simultaneously dealing
with skyrocketing rents, a
heroin epidemic and declining federal housing
support. Like many other
population centers, it also
has a lack of mental health
services and drug-treatment programs.
We present a perfect
storm, said Sara Rankin, a
professor who directs the
Homeless Rights Advocacy
Project at the Seattle University School of Law. We
have all the pressures that
are likely to cause the circumstances where poverty
and homelessness can
thrive.
Even as homelessness
declined slightly nationwide in 2015, it increased
in urban areas, including
Seattle, New York and Los
Angeles. In King County,

SEATTLE

TED S. WARREN The Associated Press

Harold McDuffie II, who says he has been homeless for

three years, watches pedestrians pass by as he lies in a
sleeping bag on a bridge leading to the ferry dock in
downtown Seattle on Tuesday. Seattle has the third-highest
number of homeless people in the U.S.

which includes Seattle,

there were 91 presumed
homeless deaths last year,
compared with 64 in 2014,
according to authorities.
Meanwhile, median
household income and
rents have soared. The
median rent in Seattle in
December was $1,931 a
month, compared with a
national average of $1,381,
according to Zillow. The
city of about 670,000 is
expected to gain more
residents and 115,000 new
jobs over the next 20 years
as Amazon, Facebook,
Google and other tech
giants open offices.
The Seattle area now
ranks third in the nation in
the number of housing
units for the homeless. But
it also has the third-highest
number of homeless people.

After the Jan. 26 shooting, Mayor Ed Murray

again pleaded with the
state and federal government to help the city ease
the homeless crisis.
The causes of homeless
are complex. There is no
simple answer, he said.
The brothers have pleaded
not guilty to murder charges.
Over the past three decades, homelessness has
been costly to taxpayers.
Seattle voters have agreed
to tax themselves four
separate times since 1986
to pay for affordable housing. The mayor recently
proposed raising another
$290 million with another
housing levy on the November ballot.
