The unequal treatment of women at Baylor University is an ongoing issue that permeates Baylor’s culture and undermines Baylor’s mission as a Christian institution of higher learning. Not only are these issues harmful to the women on campus, but they also are an essential contradiction of Baylor’s creed: “Pro Ecclesia, Pro Texana” or “For Church, For Texas”, because it brings a bad name to both church and state. If a Christian University cannot uphold a respectful and nourishing atmosphere for women
The Greek Life at Baylor University is a community of twelve fraternities and eight sororities. However, the communities within Baylor University are not treated equally. The University of Baylor favors the sororities over the fraternities at Baylor. There are multiple different things that Baylor allows the sororities to attain that the fraternities are prevented from pursuing or accomplishing. This bias between the Greek Life of Baylor and the university itself is one major reason for strain

Chattanooga, Tennessee. Baylor School. Probasco Hall. Top floor. Room 410. I reach for the doorknob of my new room. While I turn the doorknob, I give the big wooden door a push and I feel the refreshing breeze of a new start and a new reputation. My experience at Baylor School was rather interesting. I met new friends, new dorm parents, and new teachers. With the help of the Baylor community, I felt more like I was at home than at school. During school hours, I took advantage of the different technologies
In “The Brain on trial”, David Eagleman (2011) recounts the horrifying events which occurred on August 1, 1966. Charles Whitman entered the University of Texas with a rifle and secured himself in the bell tower. He then proceeded to shoot and kill 13 people and injure 32 more. Whitman was also shot and killed; however, during his autopsy it was discovered that a tumor was pressing against his amygdala.

First Draft Is animal testing so bad, if it saves millions of human lives and even other animals? Who would you rather be put at risk: Your relative or a common rat? In my opinion, animal testing is necessary because without it, human lives would be at risk. The main reason for animal testing is to cure humans from diseases. This is beneficial to us because we get cured and the experiments are not done to us! Rats and mice are used 95% of the time for animal testing. This is because they reproduce
College Students Baylor University is a college that carries high moral beliefs and shuns the idea of its students committing acts like casual sex. Students at Baylor find many ways to disregard the morals and beliefs that were given to them as they were growing up.

Baylor University has created many rules

Seeing as Baylor University has one of the most coveted programs in the study of physical therapy, it is not surprising how heavily impacted it is. Thousands apply each year, with similar applications, in hope of being one of the select few to be chosen.

The reasons being were the GPA score from my undergraduate school, the absence of experience in acute care, and the drive to succeed

“Great Scare” a period of economic depression in Europe and North America. Rev. J.M. Carroll then president of Baylor assembled a meeting of the Baptist colleges in Texas and Louisiana to address the issues of lack of finances to support the Baptist institutions in both states.

Dave Bliss & Baylor University Men’s Basketball In life, people will say things are black and white. Others will disagree and say there is a gray area. The gray area means the area in-between black and white. This area may also be known as “playing between the rules” or “not conforming to the rules”. Some believe playing and working in the gray area is okay while others believe it is unethical. In this class we have learned about many different issues and areas for concern in college athletics.

awareness in regards to academic integrity is growing across campuses worldwide. This is a very serious subject in which students and faculty should take additional steps to educate themselves.

It is usually these students passion, a way for them to express themselves like others have art and music. The question has been up whether these college athletes should be paid for their loyalty and income for the University but by paying these students more than their given scholarship
