I think the Honor Code Office should be shut down and if I were a bishop to BYU students I wouldn't give the HCO the time of day. However, isn't it also true that the one girl who got in trouble was actually for her LSD use, and not because of the reported rape? That doesn't justify all the ridiculousness of the HCO, but the way it's reported is that she got in trouble for having sex because of rape, and that's misleading at best.

The only reason BYU knew about the drug use was that she told them.
"Oh, you confess to drug use? Time to punish you." That's what I find so ridiculous. It's not like BYU somehow discovered there was some big LSD ring at BYU and discovered she was involved in it. SHE TOLD THEM. Why expel someone for what they admit they have done? "You were using LSD. We'd like to provide you some counseling and help regarding drug use." Difficult concept for BYU. |

1. That police officer should be fired. It is beyond appalling that he treated a victim that way. 2. BYU is being really stupid in how they are handling the student's case. They should have stayed out of it completely. 3. The media coverage has not been entirely honest with the facts. I'm really hoping this leads to changes in the entire approach to BYU and the honor code. Not holding my breath. Last edited by BlueK; 05-05-2016 at 07:53 PM. |

There's been more than one case, so I admit I'm a little confused as to whether the rape case with the police report is the same as the one with the LSD. I thought they were two different cases. In fact, I think I'm right. But I'm too busy/lazy to look it up right now.
