| Court Filing Claims Starr and Other Baylor Leaders Helped Student Accused of Sexual Misconduct |
 |
A motion filed this week in an ongoing federal lawsuit against Baylor University alleges that high-ranking officials ' including former president and chancellor Ken Starr ' helped a student they knew had been accused of sexual harassment. The accused student, the motion claims, had a close relationship with Starr and other Baylor leaders, and was employed on campus in a capacity where he oversaw female students and worked on Title IX initiatives. That's the federal statute that bans discrimination against women on campus.

| Facebook, Tech Companies Allowed Age Discrimination in Job Advertising, Says Lawsuit |
|
A lawsuit has been filed against a number of tech companies alleging that they participated in age discrimination through Facebook recruitment ads. The lawsuit was filed by a communications industry labor union which says that T-Mobile U.S. Inc., Amazon.com Inc. and Cox Communications Inc. discriminated against some potential applicants. The lawsuit states that the companies discriminated against older applicants by placing an age restriction on those who could see the recruitment ads on Facebook. The lawsuit is the latest complaint to target Facebook for its so-called micro-targeting of audiences.
