I'm sure people are thinking this is just about criticizing BYU because of my hatred of their athletic department. Make no mistake, I hate BYU athletics. I will never apologize for my hatred of BYU athletics or relent, but this has nothing to do with that hatred. I note that I criticized my beloved Blackhawks for bringing Patrick Kane to camp while he was under investigation for sexual assault.Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

Of course, my position is that they should be "enforcing" the honor code the same way in every situation-- not at all.τὸν ἥλιον ἀνατέλλοντα πλείονες ἢ δυόμενον προσκυνοῦσιν

Originally posted by falafel View PostIs it really "interfering" with a criminal prosecution though? I understand it is making it potentially difficult for the victim to stay in school. I guess the allegation is that if she's kicked out of school, she won't stay in Utah? Is there anything really keeping her from coming to Utah for the trial? Or is it just a matter of convenience?
We deal with cases with victims all throughout the country and even internationally. We're able to do this," he said. "It might be a matter of minor inconvenience, but we can certainly do it.

Come on, guys. Funk has already promised that he is completely unbiased and objective about this issue. Seems believable."There is no creature more arrogant than a self-righteous libertarian on the web, am I right? Those folks are just intolerable."

Originally posted by All-American View PostThis is really just BYU's flavor of the problem of colleges trying to address sexual assault on college campuses. Trying to protect victims and afford due process to the accused has proven to be too difficult a task for colleges across the country. Better to simply refer the matter to law enforcement and let them handle it.
BYU's flavor of the problem is unique in that it asserts an interest in otherwise lawful conduct. But the solution's only a little different. If you don't want the University to have to delve into these issues and inevitably get it wrong from time to time, then leave it to the bishops. The honor code office should be reduced to approximately three people entering ecclesiastical endorsements into excel-- if not disbanded altogether."Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."
Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.
