A former student is pushing for BYU to change its honor code.
Ashley Sanders signed the Honor Code while she was a student at BYU, but she says it should be repealed and rewritten with input from a variety of people. Sanders spoke on a panel at the Sunstone Symposium, which continues through this weekend in Salt Lake City.
The Salt Lake Tribune reports Sanders says the Honor Code's dress and grooming standards are stricter than general LDS standards. She says her English professor with longish hair is worthy to enter an LDS temple but not allowed to get a meal on campus.
Sanders organized the alternate graduation last year when Vice President Dick Cheney spoke on campus. She says she was kicked off the school's quad for protesting the Iraq war.
A BYU spokesperson tells the Tribune BYU administrators must approve all demonstrations and did allow many when Mr. Cheney visited.
