I'm sure that most schools have mechanisms for expelling students. THat is, students must meet a bare minimum of conduct. THings like cheating, fraud, violence, etc.

An honor code is something that is voluntary, that one commits to on one's "honor."

What is particularly offensive about this BYU code of conduct is stuff that has nothing to do with righteousness or moral living or being a good citizen.

Like how long your sideburns are.
