So you are faulting BYU as an institution because there are some in our LDS culture that have unreasonable stereotypes of the "ideal" BYU student? That hardly seems fair.
Yes, that is unfortunate.

I don't know if I am faulting the institution. I think I have argued in the past that the perception is not reality, at least it wasn't when I went to school there. Nor does it represent the relatives I have currently attending BYU.
The only thing I would have a disagreement with the "institution" is the need it appears to protect the image. I would say let the chips fall where they may. It is a great institution, but far from perfect.
