I’m still scratching my noggin over this one.
Baylor University head football coach Art Briles has been “suspended” by the university’s board of regents, which eventually will get around to firing him.
Why wait? What’s the holdup?
Briles allegedly looked the other way while players on his team were sexually assaulting women. He did far too little to stop what was happening on the campus.
He’s going to be a “former coach” in due course, I reckon.
I always considered a firing for cause to have an immediate impact. If an employee does something wrong — or fails to do something right — then the employer has the right, if not an obligation, to get rid of the offending employee post haste.
What am I missing here?
They’re probably worried about the legal contract. Baylor has a lot of lawyers, you know, one of whom is Ken Starr. Oh, wait ….
