byu honor code

The Honor Code used to contain a set of strict rules, but it changed to its current state of general guidelines in 1991. These guidelines allow some students to loosely interpret the standards by wearing leggings as pants or going a few days without shaving. The interpreting of the standards causes frustration for students when they are denied services for what they thought was appropriate.

An ex-Mormon group plans to continue using university accreditation groups as a way of attacking the BYU Honor Code.

Just days before the BYU vs. Nebraska football game, Nebraskan on-air personality Mike Welch lashed out against BYU, labeling the football team with the hashtag #ThugMormon.
