A letter entitled “Having a beard is a choice” was recently published in these pages which made some specious arguments. For example, the letter read, “Everybody who goes to BYU signs the Honor Code. They have every opportunity to read through all of the restrictions and then agree to them. Complaining about the beard rule is like signing a contract and then afterwards complaining that the contract isn’t fair.”

BYU student Logan Tatham dresses as a beard card for the 2014 Halloween season. A recent addition to the BYU Honor Code Dress and Grooming Standards for men now allows religious reasons as a valid exception to being clean-shaven. (@brighamyounguniversity Instagram)

Beards without a card

On BYU campus, beards are an elusive creature because of just one sentence in the school's Honor Code: 'Men are expected to be clean-shaven; beards are not acceptable.' But students, male and female, now have the option to wear a beard everyday . . . as long as it's on their shirt.
