WACO, Texas — Baylor University officials announced Friday they received a law firm’s report on how the school handled incidents of sexual assault on campus, but the school gave no indication whether the document will be made public.

The governing board of the largest Baptist university in the U.S. was briefed by the Pepper Hamilton law firm at a meeting this week and members will be “guided by their faith” in making decisions for students’ welfare.

The report comes amid heightened attention to how Baylor and other universities around the country have handled sexual misconduct and rape allegations against athletes. Baylor hired the Philadelphia law firm in September 2015 after former football player Sam Ukwuachu was convicted of sexual assault.
