BYU announced it has made additions to its sexual misconduct policy following the recommendations of the Advisory Council on Campus Response to Sexual Assault.

In this exclusive Universe video, students offer their snap-reactions to the university's plans to implement an amnesty clause exempting sexual assault victims of Honor Code violations at or near the time of assault.

A new YouTube video is raising awareness about the importance of stopping domestic violence. 'Slap her: Children's reactions' was uploaded to YouTube early January by an Italian website, Fanpage.it.

In the athletic scene, Title IX has increased opportunities for female athletes to play collegiate sports. Because of this policy, money allocations for collegiate sports must be equal for both genders.This is fantastic for women and a great positive influence, but it limits opportunities for male athletes who don’t play the popular collegiate sport—football. For example, rugby athletes at Brigham Young University are not financially supported by the university. Because BYU took men’s soccer off the list, BYU today has 10 women’s sports compared to the nine men’s sports that are financially supported by BYU. That means that there is identical funding, but an unequal number of sports available. This also means that there is an open spot for a men’s sport to receive funds from BYU. If BYU desires to stay equal in opportunities for both males and females, they should start by adding rugby to the list of athletic programs financially supported by BYU.

Elaine Michaelis accepted a teaching and coaching position at BYU in 1961. She was named the coach of the basketball team, the softball team, the field hockey team and the volleyball team. For the first 10 years of her time at BYU, the women athletes had very little visibility on campus.
