out of school. There are plenty of ways to deal with her responsibly (rehab, counseling, academic probation, etc), and STILL not prevent future rapes.

In a lot of way, the Honor Code is bound by their silly chalk circle they are proud that they can't get out of. They've literally painted themselves in a corner: "We kick people out for drugs. We HAVE to do it! It is only fair to the other kids we've kicked out!" It's not hard to imagine the conversation between these guys after they told her they prayed "about it". There really was never hope for her, the Honor Code will not give an inch because it can't.

I actually like that BYU has an Honor Code, but there is zero flexibility in it because of the house of cards they've created on the foundation of "accountability". It is implemented as the Law of Moses in a post-Christ world. I know some things have gotten better, but the fact that my cousin was turned down for a test because of an 8 o'clock shadow is ridiculous. He'd get to campus at 5 am, clean shaven, and work his but off. But let's hope he didn't hit the Testing Center after 6! He'd be rejected. He'd live off campus and couldn't run home so he'd have to carry a stupid shaving kit and use the Wilk restroom. What a waste of time, he really should have just went to the doctor and got a beard card. I don't care if you have a clean shaven policy, that sort of enforcement is a joke. Now magnify that in the case of rape and/or drugs and one has little faith The Code will do the "right thing." There is no "Spirit of the Law" with them and zero sense of the Atonement. It it's a great idea that the Students are bound by an Honor Code, but as it is implemented is really anti-everything we believe in.

Heck, must of us on this board should have been on probation and turn in our degrees for peeing in the toilet of a woman's apartment or simply going on a date that went past 1:00am.
