Kenneth Starr, the former president of Baylor University who headed the investigation leading to Bill Clinton’s impeachment, resigned from his law school post Friday.
Starr has severed all ties with the campus in the wake of controversy surrounding the school’s mishandling of sexual assault accusations against its football team.
A joint statement issued by Starr and the college called the resignation a "mutually agreed separation."
Starr had worked in Baylor’s administration for six years. He was removed as the university’s president in May after an investigation found the administration failed to respond to reports of rape and sexual assault filed against Baylor football players.
Starr stayed on with the university as a law professor after the demotion. The Baylor Football Head Coach was fired and the Athletic Director resigned in the days after the report surfaced.
Starr gained prominence two decades ago after playing a central role during the investigation into the suicide of deputy White House counsel Vince Foster and the Clintons’ shady investments in Whitewater realty.
His 1994 probe included a lawsuit filed against Clinton by Paula Jones, who accused him of sexual assault, and later uncovered the former president’s affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky.
Starr previously called Clinton "the most gifted politician of the baby boomer generation."
