DALLAS -- The former Title IX coordinator at Baylor University said Wednesday that top campus leaders undermined her efforts to investigate sexual assault claims and were more concerned with protecting the Baylor brand than the students.Patty Crawford told CBS This Morning that the university set her up to fail from the beginning. Crawford, who resigned Monday from her role enforcing the federal standards meant to prevent discrimination based on gender, said she received resistance from senior leadership but did not identify those leaders.Later Wednesday, Baylor officials announced that they had promoted Crawfords senior deputy, Kristan Tucker, as the universitys new Title IX coordinator.In her televised interview, Crawford said Baylor officials marginalized her by leaving her out of meetings, undermining her authority and making decisions that should be left to a Title IX coordinator. The treatment led her to file complaints with the university and U.S. Department of Educations office for civil rights. Charges that she was the victim of retaliation are included in those complaints.I never had the authority, the resources or the independence to do the job appropriately, she said.Baylor has received a storm of criticism over claims it mishandled sexual assault cases for several years. An outside review determined school administrators contributed to a hostile environment against assault victims. The scandal drew broad attention in large part because former football players were convicted of sexually assaulting women, and an independent review by the Philadelphia law firm Pepper Hamilton determined the football program operated as it if were above the rules. Coach Art Briles was fired earlier this year, as was the athletic director. President Ken Starr was removed from his post by regents and he later resigned as chancellor.Baylor said in a statement that Crawford went public with her grievances only after the school rejected a demand for $1 million and retention of book and film rights.Baylor University was surprised by the action taken by Patty Crawford given her public comments in August about the strong support she felt from across the University, the statement said.In August, Crawford talked with the Waco Tribune-Herald about her job and the changes Baylor was implementing. In that interview, she said, I would not have stayed at Baylor through this, something from before I was here, if I didnt know and be encouraged and understand that I still have authority and opportunities to build the best.Crawfords attorney, Rogge Dunn, who appeared with her on the network, said her federal complaint led to a mediation session with the university Monday and that Baylor has broken Texas law by revealing some aspects of the session. State law requires that mediation details remain confidential, with some limited exceptions.In a desperate attempt to smear Patty, what theyve done is violated Texas law, Dunn said.In later comments to The Associated Press, Dunn cited the law in declining to discuss the hearing, but said Crawford is not seeking financial compensation from Baylor and has no plans to seek a film or book deal.Lawyers for eight women who are suing Baylor for allegedly failing to act on their claims of being assaulted seized on Crawfords resignation and her failed mediation talks as a key reason to allow them to pursue documents and interviews for their case. Baylor previously asked a federal judge to halt evidence gathering while deciding if the lawsuit can proceed.There is no telling how many persons with information have been shackled by a confidentiality agreement accompanied with a large payment, lawyers for the women wrote in a court filing Wednesday.Dunn told AP that the number of sex assault complaints that were lodged since Crawford began as the Title IX coordinator in late 2014 increased by the hundreds. Awareness campaigns helped, he said, but students also came to learn that Crawfords office would listen to their allegations and follow up. Before Baylor hired a Title IX coordinator, charges of assault were lodged with different administrators and offices, and too often not taken seriously, Dunn said.Crawfords assertion that her office received hundreds of assault complaints during her time with Baylor, which began in November 2014, contrasts with the far lower number of crimes the university reported to the U.S. Department of Education.Schools must report sex assault complaints in which the university has determined that an offense occurred. Baylor did not report a single such instance of sexual assault from 2008 to 2011. Two cases were reported in 2012, six the following year and four in 2014.Baylor officials have previously declined to discuss the numbers, and a spokeswoman did not respond to a request for comment Wednesday.While much of the attention about assaults on campus has focused on football players, Crawford says the problem is broader, according to Dunn.She thinks the Baylor administration thought if they could make athletics the scapegoat then they could say, `OK, problem solved.He added, The problem was not solved by cleaning house with athletics.In a statement, the new Title IX coordinator said the offices priority under her management will be to educate and serve Baylor students, faculty, staff and supporters.The Title IX Offices focus is on our students and the entire Baylor community, ensuring that we provide the resources, support and assistance they need. It is vital that our systems support a fair and equitable Title IX process, Tucker said.Before joining Baylor, Tucker was the lead Title IX investigator at East Carolina University and a compliance officer with the University of Tennessee system.---Associated Press writers Jim Vertuno in Austin, Texas, and Terry Wallace in Dallas contributed to this report.---Follow David Warren on Twitter at https://twitter.com/WarrenJourno Omari Spellman Jersey .

ATLANTA -- Russell Westbrook extended his streak of triple-doubles to six games, leading the Oklahoma City Thunder to a 102-99 victory over the skidding Atlanta Hawks on Monday night.Westbrook scored 32 points, grabbed 13 rebounds and doled out 12 assists, giving him the NBAs longest streak of triple-doubles since Michael Jordan had seven in a row in 1989.Westbrooks run has sparked a six-game winning streak by the Thunder. Hes now reached double figures in all three categories in half of the Thunders 22 games.By contrast, Jordan had 15 triple-doubles for the entire 1988-89 season.Westbrook kept his streak alive with plenty of time to spare. Despite a poor start shooting, he already had 15 points and 11 rebounds when he picked up his 10th assist with 6:20 left in the third quarter.Scooping up a loose ball after a turnover by the Hawks, Westbrook led a 2-on-1 that ended with a pass to Victor Oladipo for a layup that gave the Thunder a 69-59 lead.Westbrook, who missed eight of his first nine shots, suddenly found his touch in the third quarter. He made five of his next seven shots, three of them beyond the arc, and finished with 16 points in the period as the Thunder stretched a one-point halftime lead to 83-69 heading to the fourth.Atlanta rallied down the stretch, but Westbrook closed it out for the Thunder. He finished with 27 second-half points to send the Hawks to their seventh straight loss and 10th defeat in the last 11 games.Its the longest losing streak for the Hawks since they dropped eight in a row in February 2014.Coach Mike Budenholzer decided to shake things up, sending Kyle Korver to the bench and putting Thabo Sefolosha in the starting lineup. The Hawks also were bolstered by the return of Paul Millsap, who haad missed three straight games with a sore hip.dddddddddddd He led five players in double figures with 24 points.It didnt matter. Westbrook made sure of that.Atlanta had a shot to send the game to overtime after Korver forced a jump ball.The Thunder clamped down defensively off the inbounds play, and Tim Hardaway Jr.s desperation 3-pointer at the buzzer failed to hit the rim.MONSTER JAMOladipo wasnt afraid to take on Dwight Howard in the lane.During the second quarter, the 6-foot-4 Thunder guard drove the baseline and slammed one over Atlantas 6-11 center, rocking the rim and drawing gasps from the crowd.Oladipo savored the moment, pumping his fists, stomping his feet and posing briefly in the lane even as the Hawks took off the other way.RECRUITING DWIGHTBilly Donovan made a recruiting pitch to Howard while coaching at Florida.During his pregame chat with the media, the Oklahoma City coach recounted a visit to Howard and his father at Southwest Atlanta Christian Academy.Donovan quickly gave up any hope of getting Howard to attend college.All I had to do was watch one AAU game and then I stopped recruiting him immediately, he quipped.Howard, of course, went straight from high school to the NBA in the days before the rules required at least one year of college. He was the first overall pick of the Orlando Magic in 2004.UP NEXTThunder: Off until Friday, when they host the Houston Rockets.Hawks: Back in action Wednesday when the Miami Heat visit Philips Arena.---Follow Paul Newberry on Twitter at www.twitter.com/pnewberry1963 .
