I know of a BYUSA candidate who was reported (and I believe forced to withdraw) for having hair that went over his collar. Ty Detmer was reported for saying the "S-word" during a football game, which was caught by the microphone. There were frequent hearings (which my sister, who was secretary for the Honor Code Council), was a part of. At least while I was there, reports were common.

Other than that, I've never ran into the Honor Code. I frankly think it is overblown, and somewhat archaic in its implementation and enforcement. Were I given a pen and free reign to make changes to the Honor Code itself, however, I don't know that I would.

I don't think it happens all the time. But it happened to me twice in the 4 1/2 years I attended BYU. I don't think it happens that much with Bishops, mostly with other students. In fact, in another incident where my roommates were indicted on drug charges and arrested our Bishop who was also BYU's Treasurer went to bat for my one roommate and kept him from getting the boot. I think most of the ecclesiastical leaders there get it. But there are a few for every several great ones that have mullah tendencies.

Then again, at my next ward we occasionally had movie nights where we would stay up and match movies all night long, co-ed, with members of the EQ presidency. I enjoyed my time in one ward, hated it in the other. I also had a roommate be accused of cheating on a Religion test at BYU, who was then turned into the HCO. It became his word against those in the testing center, and he was put on probation for it, given an F for the semester in the class and it really jacked up his chances to get into Dental School. Because somebody thought that he was cheating... on a Religion test. That is my issue with it, when it becomes your word against somebody elses, especially on something subjective like cheating on a test. How do you prove it? Especially in the testing center, when there are so many people taking different tests, he didn't even know the guy sitting in front of him was taking the same test he was. It was a joke. |

Although it says anonymous calls won't be acted upon and encourages the accuser to confront the person whose actions are in question prior to making a report that certainly didn't happen in my two altercations with the HC Office. In fact, that was something I brought up with the kid who reported us the first time. He sat there and listened to all of our tales, most of which were embellished I am sure as it was, and not once did he say he was uncomfortable and thought that our discussion was inappropriate. Our RA was present for that confrontation and it was a good thing because it almost came to blows as this kid just didn't get it.

I often find myslef disinclined to vote but curious about the results. So I have to vote somewhat under protest to see the vote. Does else anyone ever feel this way?
