Ken Starr Resigning As Baylor Chancellor Following Demotion: Report

Ken Starr, the former Baylor University president who was recently removed from his post following an explosive report about the school's response to sexual assault claims, will resign from his new role as chancellor, according to ESPN's Joe Schad.

Starr — most well known for being the attorney who investigated President Bill Clinton's relationship with Monica Lewinsky in the 1990s — was moved from president to chancellor last week.

An independent report, which detailed how the school mishandled sexual assault cases on its campus, several involving football players, was released last week. Baylor instituted a major shakeup in its leadership, moving Starr from president to chancellor, suspending football coach Art Briles with intent to fire and putting Athletic Director Ian Shaw on probation.

Now Starr will step away from his role as chancellor, he told Schad in an interview that was scheduled to air Wednesday on ESPN.

It was not immediately clear whether Starr will remain a professor at Baylor's law school.
