My opinion on the change in the honor code
This change is long overdue. The change finally puts the honor code in line with the position of the church. Now we just need to get the membership of the church to embrace this thought process.
I think it is a joke that the honor code was out of line with church teachings for so many years. |

I finally read the actual change in the text of the Honor Code, and maybe I'm a little dense, but I don't see much of a difference.
What kind of behavior would be punished under the old policy that would not be punished now? Example? |
Apparently, if you told someone that you have same sex attraction, then they could turn you into the HC.
Of course, I have a hard time seeing a gay student at BYU telling that kind of secret to very many people, and if they did, it would probably be to a friend that wouldn't then stab them in the back by turning them into the HC. IMO, this rewording has some modest symbolic value, but very little practical value. |

"Brigham Young University will respond to student behavior rather than to feelings or orientation. . . . Advocacy of a homosexual lifestyle (whether implied or explicit) or any behaviors that indicate homosexual conduct, including those not sexual in nature, are inappropriate and violate the Honor Code." So based on the text before, I don't know how you can kick someone out for admitting they have homosexual tendencies, unless they are advocating homosexuality by promoting it as morally acceptable, which is also against the rules in the new Honor Code. I see absolutely no change in the content. |
