Should we compare the # of sexual assaults where the girl gets investigated?

The Dude Abides All-American

It's not about the fact a sexual assault happened at byu. It's how byu handles it when it does happen.

I know Dodd is just voicing his opinion but to act like there aren't many, many others that feel the same way is putting your head in the sand.

We're out then, but isn't Baylor going through a whole sexual assault issue

Texas Hammer

Yes, as well as Kansas State I believe.

Which may be why they don't add another school with the same issues.

And yet, only 1 school was on the cover of CNN.com this past week.

There was also that minor issue of a bball player that murdered another player.

Just because sins are included in the HC

As soon as the AFA, US Government, etc....

What about nephi killing laban, children of israel driving out caananites etc.

This is honestly so not true... Who deals with academic related issues? the HCO

Exactly, there is nothing honorable about it.

Nothing honorable?

They should keep it, but they should just put someone like you in charge of it.

There's no way that's true. If anyone is saying that, it's just another excuse.

I think it's a left-field, stupid reason to even bring up.

Not to those who view the chilling of rape reports as a big issue,

Ugh... there is no way there is any truth to that...

Smoke Monster

5/3/16 3:53pm

Deny it all you want; BYU will still be on the outside looking in after the next

SoCalCoug

It wouldn't have a thing to do with this if so

cougarmanguy

5/3/16 3:56pm

So you say.

SoCalCoug

5/3/16 3:58pm

Most rational people without an ax to grind would agree

cougarmanguy

5/3/16 3:59pm

Cause BYU has a history of win at all costs approach

Smoke Monster

5/3/16 4:07pm

I agree, but it won't be because of something so easily resolved as this

BYUCoug11

5/3/16 4:00pm

But it won't be because of the HC/Rape incident...

Smoke Monster

5/3/16 4:00pm

i agree, but it's not going to be because of the HC thing.

Dodd said it was purely his opinion. Not from any B12 source

NotOfYourFaithBYUFAN

5/3/16 3:56pm

the media is making it out to be something it isn't, the facts are not bad

Bobmarleyjr

5/3/16 10:39pm

Victims shouldn't have any honor code issues...it's pretty bad...

Smoke Monster

5/3/16 10:44pm

I don't care if they give them immunity but I don't blame them for accoutability

Bobmarleyjr

5/3/16 10:49pm

That should be between them and their bishop... BYU needs to keep their nose...

5/3/16 11:08pm

If rules are not enforced there are no rules. BYU standards is part of identity

Bostonblue

Are retweets endorsements? Has anyone covered that yet?

riboflavin

5/3/16 3:59pm

Dodd also said that his comments about the BYU HCO were not conveyed

Bostonblue

5/3/16 4:01pm

because i think he thinks its going to be an issue moving forward.

riboflavin

5/3/16 4:02pm

i.e. he desperately wants it to be an issue going forward.

Bostonblue

5/3/16 4:04pm

i think that's a leap. i agree that it will be an issue going forward as schools

riboflavin

5/3/16 4:07pm

he's a huge proponent of pushing social issues and he doesn't agree with byu's

That is my point. I don't think anybody from the BIGXII would say anything.

Compare the number of sexual assaults at BYU to any B12 school & get back to me.

The Dude Abides

Rapes at BYU go unreported because of fear of the HC, so BYU's not that "safe"

Not the HC itself, but the HC policy of formally investigating all victims.
