Message: [QUOTE="Fairfield Fan, post: 2064406, member: 6911"] Pepper Hamilton didn't do the job it needed to do: "As if all of that wasn’t bad enough, they also disclose that Pepper Hamilton, who were responsible for the purportedly unprecedented mea culpa, not only didn’t find every report of sexual assault, but weren’t even tasked with doing so. Here is how Thursday’s court filing describes what Pepper Hamilton did (emphasis added is mine): "Pepper Hamilton was not assigned to probe every single sexual assault allegation at Baylor. It was not charged with determining the total number of alleged sexual assaults that were reported or allegedly occurred during a set time period. And it was not asked to determine the guilt or innocence of any or all of those accused of sexual assault. For this reason, Pepper Hamilton did not interview any of the accused. "The vehicle for Pepper Hamilton’s task was a “stress test” of Baylor’s institutional response under Title IX. To conduct this stress test, Pepper Hamilton would identify and review a subset of specific cases focusing on Baylor’s institutional response and compliance (or lack thereof) with Title IX. The court document later states: “Again, it is important to note that this did not mean the law firm had identified all alleged sexual assaults.” "Regents previously said that 17 women reported sexual or domestic assaults involving 19 players, including four alleged gang rapes, since 2011. Those numbers are different than those given in a recent Title IX suit, which said that football players committed 52 acts of rape, including five gang rapes, by 31 different football players in four years. Now consider both sets of numbers knowing that Pepper Hamilton was doing a “stress test.” Even the recent court filing from Baylor adds some fudging, now saying it’s 'at least' 17 women and 'at least' 19 football players..." Pepper Hamilton helped contain the scandal, they didn't fully expose it. What they released was "damning," but what they didn't release was probably far worse. If your alma mater hires Pepper Hamilton, you know that the fix is in! [/QUOTE]
