Baylor Cuts Off Ties to Alumni Association

Baylor University has removed its alumni association from the university's Web site, e-mail service and toll-free phone lines, The Waco Tribune reported. The alumni association and the university have fought previously and have also previously agreed on financial independence for the alumni group. But while the university characterized its latest moves as related to that independence agreement, alumni leaders said that they weren't consulted and that they feared the changes would hurt fund-raising efforts.
