Yep. Good point. Picture losing your job if you get divorced.
Thankfully the Church has removed that policy.
But everything a BYU student needs to comply with an Institute teacher would also have to follow.

It definitely is mostly about the church/honor code

Some of the USU Institute teachers are very anti-BYU.

Ugh. The honor code removes the same amount of agency as a temple recommend

Well, except for the no beard type stuff. But still.

The content of the rules is not the point.

Well if you want to work in the temple you have to be clean shaven

No longer a ‘policy’. (Not sure it ever officially was one)

I was told to go home once because I hadn't shaved when I was a veil worker.

It's still a policy for all Church employees.

Also not true. I grew my full beard while serving in a bishopric.

I’m serving in the bishopric right now. Full beard...

That "rule" might be a local one, based on preferences of the leaders.

Forced to pay tithing though.

Wrong. No one is ever “forced” to pay tithing.

I personally know a person who lost his CES job for not paying tithing.

That’s probably why he chose not to be baptized or make temple covenants either. Cuz agency means not committing to

USU's is mostly born of a deep and abiding inferiority complex

With USU, it’s less church hate and more “rejected by BYU” hate

“Some” USU kids can’t get into BYU. “Some” can, but without a scholarship.

Concurrent enrollment/AP and scholarships are better at USU than BYU

For USU it isn't anti-LDS bias. It's 3 decades of watching BYU have all the limelight meanwhile the Aggies sunk into

It's both, either, or neither depending on the person. Both of those things play a role.

Not for the vast majority of Aggies. They're mostly Mormons themselves.

If by Mormon you mean the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints...then yes

Has nothing to do with being LDS. It's about elitism.
