A black eye on BYU?

Yes. I believe it's been discussed a few times on here in the past.

it's not true, remember Luke Ashworth left the church and still stayed at BYU

it is true, but exceptions can be made

Doesn't hurt to be a starter on the football team

Ashworth made his change well before becoming a starter.

Did he "disaffiliate" or just go less active? Maybe there is a difference there

Ao disadfiliation is having your name removed from the records of the church.

I don't know if expel is the right word, but you are no longer in good standing

That makes no sense

It's so ironic how often the HC HIGHLY incentivizes students to be dishonest.

I don't get the idea that BYU is violating someone's "religious liberty" by not

They can go elsewhere. They don't have to go to BYU.

Isn't it taught that they should be loving and welcoming to everyone?
Ygirl

This is different. The symposium relates to religious freedoms. BYU's policy
Baron
10/7/15 9:22am
And that's not an unreasonable conclusion. The other side is that religous
TaiJuan

He's not talking about the principle of religious freedom generally. If he

The policy isn't limiting their right to express or practice religious freedom

And what if they still agree to abide by the honor code?

"These aren't anti Mormons were talking about."

I find that illogical, it is discrimination against LDS members. A Catholic at
DoseOfReality
10/7/15 9:21am
There is no equal protection argument here. You might not like how it looks, but
TaiJuan
10/7/15 9:24am
There is much latitude afforded to religious schools, but it is not limitless.
DoseOfReality
10/7/15 9:29am
If you want to wade in here with some conclusions, I would like to see the cases
TaiJuan
10/7/15 9:31am
Religious institutions can discriminate on a religious basis. It's fundamental.
TaiJuan
10/7/15 9:31am
Agree, but public opinion does matter to the reputation of the institution
zuxvon

They charge different faiths different tuition rates, looks legal to me.

You do realize that the equal protection guarantees in the Constitution

I think it has to depend on the circumstances. There are certainly situations
Bob Vance

But the church knew that going in with the Catholic.

Here's an old thread on the same issue.
TaiJuan
10/7/15 9:22am
Well, there is no question that their tuition should have to go up
Bob Vance
10/7/15 9:26am
Expelling a student for sedition is very different than for religious reasons.
Byron McNertney
10/7/15 9:35am
Sedition is the only way to fight against the school?
Bob Vance
10/7/15 9:40am
So...you agree with me? Your tone says you don't, your words say you do.
Byron McNertney
10/7/15 9:44am
Funny, I misunderstood the tone of your comment. Looks like same page.

I think I tried to agree and add to your comment in 80 characters. Not easy.

Definitely depends on the circumstances - that's why the rule should focus on

I completely agree. And don't see anything wrong with raising tuition for anyone
Ygirl

BYU has the right to do it. But it's a dumb policy.
Jeremy
10/7/15 9:33am
I think this is probably the right answer. Faith crises aren't easy for anyone
Iman23
10/7/15 9:36am
From the church's view, wouldn't they want to keep students who are questioning
Ygirl
10/8/15 9:27am
Questioning faith is not usually the same as removing a name from the records.
TaiJuan
10/8/15 9:45am
Also, I don't claim to be LDS anymore but BYU is a great school I considered

If they voluntarily disaffiliate, they lose honor code standing.
TaiJuan
10/7/15 9:36am
True but I think the point is, it shouldn't be grounds for loss of standing

How do you determine whether they are doing that or going to do that though?

You are demonstrating why the policy works as it currently does.

Should John Dehlin be allowed to remain at BYU if he were a student at the time
