Baylor alumni, regents in quiet standoff after failed vote

Baylor University regents are meeting this week to discuss the Baylor Alumni Association’s failed vote to dissolve this past Saturday, while association leaders ponder the future of an organization that Baylor may cease to recognize.

Baylor had promised, effective Sunday, to cut all ties with the association and prohibit the group from using the “Baylor” name if the so-called “transition agreement” failed.

But on Monday, the website for the Baylor Alumni Association and Baylor Line remained active, and employees continued to work at their offices on Baylor’s campus.

Baylor Alumni Association president-elect Si Ragsdale said he assumed the university considered the contracts terminated as of 12:01 a.m. Sunday. He said he is “at a loss” to predict what the association will do, but he expects leaders will hold a conference call this week.

[font color=green]Baylor is doing a wonderful job in their relationships with alumni.

With the university threatening litigation against the association, then expect alumni contributions to drop and the new football stadium they are building to have plenty of empty seats.[/font]
