STATEMENT FROM BAYLOR PRESIDENT LINDA A. LIVINGSTONE, PH.D.

"On behalf of Baylor University, I send our deepest prayers and condolences to the family of Houston Christian University President Robert B. Sloan Jr. and the HCU community on his untimely passing. A proud Baylor alumnus, Robert Sloan faithfully served Baylor University as a member of our religion faculty, founding dean of George W. Truett Theological Seminary and as Baylor President for nearly a decade. His greatest contribution was the adoption of Baylor 2012, a 10-year vision that placed Baylor on the path to become a top-tier university while remaining committed to our historic Christian mission. And that is where Baylor stands today. Our Baylor Family is praying for Sue, her children and grandchildren and for HCU as they mourn the loss of a father, grandfather and beloved President."
