According to the Salt Lake Tribune “Brigham Young University students who are victims of sex crimes say they are investigated by the school and sometimes disciplined after reporting their abuse, a consequence that critics say silences victims and emboldens offenders.” Several thousand people have signed an onlinepetition urging BYU not to investigate rape victims for Honor Code violations. BYU says it is studying the connection between its Title IX Office, which investigates sexual assaults, and its Honor Code Office.
We’ll talk about this on Wednesday’s Access Utah. Our guests will include Alana Kindness, Executive Director of the Utah Coalition Against Sexual Assault; and Brenda Tracy, a sexual violence prevention consultant at Oregon State University.
