Would you ever report someone to the Honor Code office for a violation? - Page 3 - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

If I don't want to vote, I don't vote.

I voted for never reporting under the Honor Code, but I would report to the police a crime if serious enough.

I don't believe in the necessity of the Honor Code, never did and never will. If you trust students to behave, most of them will, and then there should be meaningful efforts to work with those who don't.

Nah, I've never voted just to see the results of some jackass' stupid lame manipulative ill-conceived poll.

I keep voting so MikeWaters can use all of my votes against me at a future date.

I would have hated to see all my friends get kicked out of college so the answer is no from me.

Had to go and talk to someone there in the HCO and she told me to use better language. So stupid.

I see very little that's honorable about the HCO. The only BYU folks who seem as psycho are the parking people and those who write the crazy letters to the DU.

Will they really kick people out of school based on things like hearsay and taking one person's word over another's?

The Honor Code is garbage.

The Lord Jesus Christ Himself is an honor code violator. You can be templeworthy, but not in good standing with the University because of the honor code. How do the university higher-ups handle that mentally I wonder.

It's like they want us to emulate the atmoshpere of the Chinese Cultural Revolution. Rat out your enemies, they'll get burned just by your say so.

My answer in the poll would be "it depends" as in it depends on how close in November to the game it is.

Just kidding - I wouldn't want to hear any excuses.

I don't believe in being a tattle tale for the sake of tattling. I'd report criminal behavior to the police department, but wouldn't say a word to the HC pinheads about anything. I've had friends who attended BYU who had run ins with the HC and they were for ridiculous things. Funny thing though, none of my friends who played football ever had HC problems, despite the fact that I know they rampantly ran roughshod over it.

So Lingo, Indy and Tex voted to nark out other students?
