I hate Gus, but I disagree with you on this. Yes, he has taken players in that have had off the field issues, but domestic violence is a whole different deal than smoking pot or stealing. I don't think he would have ever taken Taylor, but he absolutely would not have considering how prevalent of an issue it has become over the last year.

Via AL.com:
Athletics is not involved in the admissions process.

"Jonathan Taylor was admitted to The University of Alabama following the same procedures that the UA Admissions office uses to evaluate any student who has dealt with legal issues," Deborah M. Lane, the school's assistant to the president and associate vice president for university relations, said in an email to the Banner-Herald. "The admissions process includes representatives from academic, legal, student affairs, student conduct, UAPD and counseling. Athletics is not involved in the admissions process."

Well, like I said there was talk on the Auburn boards and elsewhere that he was being considered. Auburn undoubtedly feels a little pressure after getting a bad reputation for taking kids kicked out of other programs, so maybe they did take the high road here. But the history speaks for itself and Malzahn's standards for accepting historical trouble makers are far from pristine.
I'm more than a little skeptical when they people say, yeah we'll take some guys with known character issues, but we have an internal standard that is firm. Especially when the player goes to their more attractive cross state rival. That makes their newly minted stand on domestic violence look self-serving.

Gus would take Aaron Hernandez if he could get him out of jail, so would Saban.
