Amid the reports, Starr remained at work Tuesday, said Rebecca Malzahn, deputy chief of staff in the president’s office.

“We’ve been hard at work with the president all day,” Malzahn said Tuesday evening. “He’s still president today.”

Baylor spokeswomen Lori Fogleman and Tonya Lewis were not in their offices Tuesday and did not respond to messages, and an employee said they were in a meeting on campus. Fogleman released this statement on behalf of Baylor:

“The Baylor Board of Regents continues its work to review the findings of the Pepper Hamilton investigation, and we anticipate further communication will come after the board completes its deliberations. We will not respond to rumors, speculation or reports based on unnamed sources, but when official news is available, the university will provide it. We expect an announcement by June 3.”

Several now-former Baylor football players have been accused of sexual assault in recent years, including former defensive end Shawn Oakman, who was arrested in April.
