Your statement contrasts amusingly with the actual context.

This occurred at a conservative-leaning, Baptist university in Texas: Baylor.

Normally this would be a nit-pick, but it's a potentially significant one here since the medical center isn't religiously affiliated: Baylor the hospital system isn't affiliated with the university these days.

It's affiliated with Texas A&M. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baylor_University_Medical_Cent...

It's a fair point. I wasn't implying it was a religious medical center, rather, that that region very much leans conservative, which is in fact true.

Texas A&M is one of the most conservative state schools:

The uni is actually in Waco, about 150+ miles south of where the hospital is. Not sure how connected they are these days.
