I agree with your points. I think it's also hard to know what's going on
behind the HC office without knowing their side of the story. All we get to hear is one side of the story. We have a glimpse into one investigation because the victim shared a letter from the honor code office. In the letter, it states: "You are being suspended from Brigham Young University because of your violation of the Honor Code including continued illegal drug use and consensual sex, effective immediately." (http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/rape-victims-say-brigham-young-uses-honor-code-to-punish-them/ar-BBshlTL?li=BBnb7Kz) At least in that case it appears the victim wasn't suspended because she was raped after a one-time drug experiment, and there seems to be some history.

Again, I agree with your points, and I think it's hard to draw hard conclusions without the full story. kind of like when Kate Kelly was making all those allegations about her Stake President refusing to talk to her, etc. Then she shared a letter from her State President that outlined all of the times she was contacted and given the opportunity to speak.

The honor code office recently made a statement saying they would evaluate their practices and make appropriate changes. Hopefully they do correct what's wrong. If they truly are kicking girls out of school for simply using drugs the night they are raped, then that's shameful. But I'm not sure we can come to that determination by only getting one side of the story.
