Huh. I'm concerned that BYU doesn't have place with its morals, but . . .
There could be real issues with having a Government official sign a quasi-religious document?

I'm not a fan of the HC, but I don't care that the ROTC is leaving either.

That's unfortunate. The Army and AF ROTCs produce great officers for

If they just have to commute to UVU, they'll still get the same officers, No?

Exactly. And once the AF Col gets switched out, one could reasonably assume that it will return to byu.

I doubt it. Once the enterprise moves it would be tough to bring it back

Maybe. Maybe not. It's not strange to see changes made, programs created and moved, etc.

I can vouch for RealTexan. He's as connected to Army ROTC as you can be.

This is absolutely ridiculous. The last thing BYU needs is the military upset.

You don't think it's reasonable for BYU to expect all professors to sign the honor code that all students also sign?
