I'd love to know if the commentator has or currently is a student at the school.

It is a matter of public record that they exercised this power sometime in December or early January, scuttling the merger between Rice and BCM.<br /><br />I have nothing against Baylor per se, but I think this move deserves condemnation.

Because although my insight may indeed be awful, I certainly don't absolve BCM of its bad, fundamentally self-destructive decisions, which were clear for anyone to see.
