An independent investigation found credible allegations that Dr. David Pooler, a professor in Baylor’s Diana R. Garland School of Social Work, engaged in sexual misconduct and violated professional boundaries. The allegations involved survivors of adult clergy sexual abuse, the same population at the center of Pooler’s research and clinical work.

Women are the common denominators in sexual misconduct cases like these. From Hollywood to government and even to Baylor, women become more than victims of a grotesque crime — they become symbols of strength. Their names matter infinitely more than their perpetrators’ do.
