Freeloader Walk-on

My nephew said his USU institute teacher didn't want to go to BYU because he

liked having agency. And he agreed with that. Huh. I didn't realize I didn't have my agency when I went to BYU. I always thought I was using my agency to live the same commitments I made at baptism, but whatever. All kinds of rationalizations people come up with for hating the best academic school in the state and one of the top Universities in the nation in bang for your buck.

I don't care one bit if USU-O or any other school hates BYU

It definitely is mostly about the church/honor code

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

TheWanderer

11/1/19 1:35pm

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

The Dark Knight

11/1/19 1:49pm

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

TheWanderer

11/1/19 1:53pm

The content of the rules is not the point.

The Dark Knight

11/1/19 2:22pm

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)

m0resn0w

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

11/2/19 10:57am

It's still a policy for all Church employees.

Likewise to be in a Bishopric or Stake Presidency

baldcoug74

11/1/19 9:35pm

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

m0resn0w

11/2/19 5:04am

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

Truerblue

11/2/19 6:47am

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

11/2/19 9:57am

I think you’re correct. I’m hoping your story is from a long time ago. 😒

More.

That's funny coming from a teacher who's employer is the LDS Church

Yep. Good point. Picture losing your job if you get divorced.

TheWanderer

11/1/19 4:08pm

Forced to pay tithing though.

TAMUCoug

11/1/19 10:28pm

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

BleedCougarBlue2

11/1/19 11:49pm

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

TAMUCoug

11/3/19 12:07am

Yeah, that was my thought.

11/1/19 6:14pm

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

mvtoro

Sounds like a quality institute teacher

It's the current fad of the day

Tell him to take it up with church leadership, it’s their school.

Absolutely hilarious. If true, the guy is clearly not competent enough to

Agree. We've had a couple of kids from our ward go to USU in the last couple...

This has been my issue about sending kids to Usu or Utah to get this polish you

travelcoug

11/1/19 8:56pm

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

11/1/19 1:19pm

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

I have a BYU-hating, USU grad coworker. It was not until I had

I knew kids with 4.0 GPAs who went to USU.

TheWanderer

11/1/19 4:12pm

I was accepted to both and chose USU for a couple reasons.

11/1/19 6:00pm

Could have gone to BYU *with no scholarship

The scholarship thing is my key point.

TheWanderer

11/1/19 8:16pm

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

11/1/19 8:25pm

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

puntersarepeople

11/1/19 4:14pm

Still worth it to pony up a go to BYU if you can

Jimmertime

11/1/19 6:58pm

Depends on your goals. It is in many cases

puntersarepeople

11/1/19 7:09pm

Sometimes. Not always.

11/1/19 8:29pm

Nope, it is definitely anti church/LDS

Cougar TD

11/1/19 5:17pm

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

Pimpin4Paradise

11/1/19 1:20pm

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

SingleStrapBackpack

11/1/19 1:25pm

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

Pimpin4Paradise

11/1/19 1:33pm

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

Jimmertime

11/1/19 6:59pm

Mormons is approved.

The Dude Abides

Right, the Mormons

Mr Bassman

Tweeting threats of abuse is not a trend we should ignore.

Dr MoBYU

11/1/19 1:25pm

It’s not anti-LDS. It’s anti-BYU. Even people who are LDS hate BYU.

I have a friend who sent their son to USU. He came back talking about how

Yet, here you are posting about it. Somebody here must obviously care about it..

Truerblue

Is this entire thread satire? Seriously...listen to yourselves.

chochera

11/1/19 3:50pm

What are you talking about. You realize this is a BYU message board.

Adrielle

11/1/19 4:02pm

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

Aggie90Cougar10

11/1/19 5:17pm

It makes difficult to take you seriously when refer to BYU

It has so much to do with LDS... I know so many people who went to USU and there

Exactly what I thought when I read this post.

I missed something. What is USU-O?

baldcougar

11/2/19 12:02am

Alleging that people only dislike BYU because they didn't get in, is hilarious.

DoseOfReality

Being rejected by BYU is certainly part of the equation.
