My opinion: we should have the Honor Code but no Honor Code Office. There should be no snitching, policing, or booting. If it's called an "Honor" code, then the enforcement should be by one's honor.

I remember the one time I hiked the Y with some friends who were attending the Y at the time. Little did I know at the time, that hiking up there was a place where many couples would escape to perform their own personal Calls of the Wild.

Certainly there could be some substantial improvement on the enforcement end, but to claim you have an Honor Code and then not have any institutional enforcement would be even more hypocritical than it is now. |

Tell me: in what other areas of life do you think we need more "external enforcement" in order to ensure righteous living?

My point is similar to Indys point. The honor code doesn't sneak up on anyone and it's not like they don't know what they are getting into. What I'm interested in is why someone would put so much hard work and effort into getting into BYU only to get there and spend his or her time resisting the rules in place...when he or she knew full well the rules when he or she applied and got in.

That pretty accurately describes your participation on Cougarboard.

I'm not saying get rid of the Honor Code cause I think it does some good, but it's also overbearing in some un-neccessary ways. Having said that I don't exactly feel sorry for someone who goes in with both eyes open, signs it, and then bitches and moans about it. If you don't want to sign it, then don't go to BYU.

When I join a company, I receive an orientation that outlines the code of conduct expected by that company. If I fail to live by those guidelines, I could be subject to action taken against me by my employer. If you honestly think there should be no enforcement of the BYU Honor Code, then you should also be claiming there should be no Honor Code to begin with. |
