A non-LDS co-worker of mine is moving to Utah - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

He leaves with his new wife and son on Tuesday. Apparently, his mother in law is beside herself. Though she has never set foot in Utah, she's doing everything she can to talk her daughter out of the move. At first she told her that women are oppressed in Utah. That Mormons won't accept her etc... None of that has bothered my friend or his wife. My co-worker was a lifelong resident of Ogden before moving to CA. Today, she called her daughter and said "you wan't proof that women in Utah are oppressed? BYU doesn't accept women into their medical school."

My co-worker asked me this morning if this was true as for some reason this point had affected his wife a bit. He seemed quite relieved when I told him that the only reason women aren't accepted into BYU's medical school is because they don't have a medical school.
