involved the "inappropriate" touching (on the shoulder) of a girl I worked w on campus. Nothing woulda come of it had her father not been a BYU professor & pushed it (the guy seriously wanted me disciplined).

Honestly, I'm very lucky my boss stood up pretty strongly for me (he did this after I informed him I was gonna end up dropping a bunch of F-bombs at the HC office & putting the campus in my rearview if the stupid thing went any further than it already had).

I realize I was very lucky. From personal experience I see that potential the HC has to empower the wrong kinda people. Things coulda very easily turned out differently for me. Of course you can never use this in your defense--but the real issue that seemed pretty clear to me was that the girl in question had liked me, while I made it clear that all I wanted was friendship. So she tried her little power move several months later to placate her disappointment. And got daddy involved.

Common story. I assume the more or less same power scenario lends itself to rape claims too, sometimes. If BYU's gonna be serious about enforcing its HC, it's gotta be thorough to all parties. The Trib is just trash for not visiting the complexity of the issue.

mutu.
