Appreciate that, thank you.

You won't hear me disagree with anyone that thinks BYU's Honor Code is old fashioned. It definitely is. That's kind of the point, at least in part, to be honest.

But it's not a secret. Nobody should be caught off guard or misunderstand what it commits incoming and current students to.

It's not for everybody, and certainly not every student keeps the commitments as they claimed they would. In some cases it's honest circumstances of young people getting into stuff prohibited by the Honor Code (it also includes abstaining from alcohol and drugs, for example), and hopefully that gets worked out in a way that doesn't harm the student's academic progress and permits them to continue their studies at BYU. In other cases there are students that agree to the Honor Code with no intention of keeping it. I don't really understand the thinking there, because there are WAY more stereotypical party schools one could go to, but that's a choice some make.

I will say though, for the most part the students BYU has are there because they want to be, understand the Honor Code, and don't have any problems living by it.
