People Behind “Keeping Faith at BYU” Release Manifesto Detailing how BYU Should be Run, Accidentally Recreate BYU Idaho

Keeping Faith at BYU (KFaB) is a self-proclaimed non-profit organization that compiles stories of non-doctrinal indoctrination on Utah’s BYU campus.

After several weeks, and nearly 30 posts, the activists behind the account have released a manifesto in which they outline the way that BYU ought to operate. 

A KFaB spokesperson said, “The only way to save BYU at this point is for them to follow this with exactness.” They continued, “If they refuse to comply, we will have no choice but to shake the dust off of our feet.”

The manifesto would require several changes to the way BYU Utah is run including:

  • Banning shorts, capris, and flip flops to avoid immodest exposure of ankles.
  • Immediate execution of any and all “honor-code protestors.”
  • Ending the practice of including GPA and ACT scores in admission.

“All that should matter is how faithful someone is,” it says in the manifesto, “There are plenty of very righteous people who were barred from entry for silly reasons, like not graduating high school.”

The document also says that BYU should force Provo businesses to shut down, saying: “When students are having fun in town, they are too busy to read their scriptures.” It adds that if there were some way to make the weather colder and less pleasant, this should be done to limit any nightlife in Provo. 

KFaB parody accounts retaliated by releasing their own list for how BYU should be run, but ultimately just recreated UVU.
