BYU Updates Honor Code

[Just This Guy]

BYU has announced changes to the Honor code system. When a person is being called in, they will be told the accusation as part of the summons paperwork, instead of being told in the office.

So they are only slightly less abusive in the enforcement. At least the accused have the ability to prep a defense when they go into their interrogation.

So same basic process but not you at least know what you're being called in for instead of having to assume what it could be... how kind of them!

BYU and LDS leadership comes off as hilariously tone deaf with these changes. They finally will tell you what you are charged with when you come into their office. No one would put up with this unless the time and expense of a university education were on the line. The Honor Code could not be implemented on a ward level because their would be mass rebellion. The church has to tone down their standards to match the influence of family and ward social pressure.

BYU students go along with this travesty because they believe it will make them more righteous and perhaps even glow in the dark.

Wonder if this new change will allow BYU students to now read Franz Kaffka's novel The Trial, without being reported to the "Honors Office" by their fellow student spies.

They were explained as “sweeping changes”.
Sweeping indeed.

They forgot to mention the rug in their sweeping.

I think for the vast majority of non scholarship students the honor code is no big deal. It is the way they view the world anyway.
