One more reason I would never work for BYU.

A temple recommend is only required if you are LDS. I believe the non-LDS faculty/staff requires an ecclesiastical endorsement from their pastor or priest.
I'm don't think this is a good idea when universally applied. But I have no problem with having a temple recommend requirement for administration. They are de facto employees of the church and are engaged in non-academic activity.
