The Battle for Baylor
 After years of infighting and debate, Baylor University President Robert Sloan stepped down as president January 21. Though he will remain chancellor of the school, questions remain over the implementation of Baylor's Vision 2012, a major effort to turn the school into a first-rate Christian university. Below are background articles and Christianity Today's continuing coverage of the story.
