It's President Worthen. He's a lawyer. All lawyers right good.

Nice job BYU.

We have a great school. Glad to see the immediate changes.

My sources are telling me this came out a few weeks ago

Link?

It was an email, at least I got it in an email

As critical as I've been of the HC, I need to voice my support in equal measure

Linescratcher

agree with linescrather completely

I whOle heartily sgree..Now if o KY the restof the hcould be reviewed & revised

CarolinaCoug

The amnesty (draft) actually extends much further than I expected it to. This is a good step

BlueBlood

10/26/16 9:53am

I think they did a good job on the report.

LaserCoug

10/26/16 9:54am

That sounds really great on the surface and I'm very happy that BYU is

DapperDan

10/26/16 9:55am

I think that line item of Pres Worthen's summary wasn't worded well

kccougar

10/26/16 10:02am

I'd be happy to discover that it was a mistaken summary

DapperDan

10/26/16 10:04am

This seems to be the relevant language of the report...

kccougar

10/26/16 10:05am

That was the part of the report I saw as well

Linescratcher

10/26/16 10:19am

That honestly makes me wonder how they came up with that summary. They don't

DapperDan

10/26/16 11:18am

After reading through the report's recommendations the nuts and bolts of the

DapperDan

10/26/16 12:11pm

Completely agree.

Linescratcher

10/26/16 12:17pm

Agreed. The HC should never have any info given to them from Title IX imo. Just

Windward_Coug

10/26/16 10:02am

If I remember correctly, Title IX requires investigation and punishment of perps by the university. You don't think

jaromp

10/26/16 10:29am

No, send that info to byu police. The HC has shown they will misuse whatever

Windward_Coug

10/26/16 10:32am

I would argue that the BYU police have been much worse. Isn't the Provo PD currently investigating why BYU police

jaromp

10/26/16 10:38am

Better than dragging in victims of sexual assault to a HC disciplinary council.

Windward_Coug

10/26/16 10:47am

What? it would only be to discipline the perpetrator, and it specifically states that victim info will be redacted

jaromp

10/26/16 10:50am

Just saying that's what they used to do. They aren't to be trusted with any

Windward_Coug

10/26/16 10:56am

They will absolutely notify police, but the Provo PD doesn't suspend students from school or take disciplinary action

jaromp

10/26/16 11:04am

Every other school on the planet manages to suspend and expel students without

Windward_Coug

10/26/16 11:44am

Title IX office does its own investigations, not HCO

Linescratcher

10/26/16 10:37am

Wait. You are telling me you have a cynical side?

TN_Coug

10/26/16 10:09am

Shocking I know

DapperDan

10/26/16 11:22am

Here is the legit situation for the Title IX office to report to the Honor Code:

CDV

10/26/16 10:54am

You are missing the investigation

10/26/16 11:16am

How do other schools handle this? Do Title IX offices have the authority to

DapperDan

10/26/16 11:21am

Yes, but its murky

Linescratcher

10/26/16 11:26am

Thanks. I know there are no clear cut answers, but I think I'd prefer if the

DapperDan

10/26/16 11:41am

I don't think so. The final word on student discipline would be given by the School

kccougar

10/26/16 11:32am

The fact that these weren't already in place shows how awful the honor code was implemented. They really shared office

Kajdin

10/26/16 9:57am

Duh! That's what it said. They stepped up and implemented necessary change

Coach's Dad

I'm glad they released this AFTER the Big12 announement

Grateful for their attention to this.

Florwood

10/26/16 10:05am

But will the media give this any attention? Seems doubtful since

JKLCoug

10/26/16 10:07am

Tribune will report with a three-sentence summary of the changes and a two-page rehash

kccougar

10/26/16 10:10am

They covered the Mormonandgay site in a positive light.

Here's what their Twitter feed said about it:

JKLCoug

10/26/16 1:40pm

Good results. How about they just replace the HC office with Title IX staff?

cougarnerd

10/26/16 10:06am

I'd be good with that. Seems like they were basically the same staff before these changes. Just overhaul the staff

Kajdin

10/26/16 10:11am

Because they have different purposes and do different things.

Coach's Dad

10/26/16 10:27am

Make the HCO part time...

Mike Ross

10/26/16 10:33am

make the HCO dissapear

This also debunks the idea that BYU won't change when it's reasonable

Harrison0Yfan

well that's debatable

Do you really think so lowly of people?

You are right.

protonspring

You're assuming a pretty immoral, cynical approach by students.

The issue is still there, but yeah. . . I agree that it's a good compromise.

one of the new incentives however is that it's now much riskier to have consensual sex. guys should be even more

They did the right thing & I couldn't be more pleased. It's a good day for BYU.

I predict the number of sexual assault reports goes way up.
