Regents push for Sloan ouster at Baylor University
Five Baylor University regents urged Monday for the ouster of President Robert Sloan, asking for a full board vote on his future. The regents meet Thursday and Friday as Baylor struggles after the death of Patrick Dennehy and resignations of coach Dave Bliss and athletic director Tom Stanton amid serious rules violations. Regent John Wilkerson says the move is not about the basketball issues or the building project to raise Baylor into the top tier by 2012.
