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.

No, I'm pretty sure it was a provo police officer who was involved in her case who reported her to the HC office and he did that because of the drugs. He probably did that knowing there was no legal case to go after her with the drugs because she didn't have them in her possession anymore. The Provo PD has since reprimanded the officer. He has to be a complete douchebag. The whole thing is stupid all the way around. I don't think she should be in trouble with the HC office, but most of the media is only reporting the facts that further whatever agenda they have.
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.
