After yesterday’s letter from the Presidents of BYU and UVU, the universities have decided to continue to show a united front to students by having UVU begin enforcing the BYU Honor Code among its own students. 

The official letter to students stated that they were concerned with “not only your spiritual well-being but also of those in the local community.” It goes on to say that “behavior must change,” and calls for students to “limit your social interactions to only those who follow the code.”

Adelaide Rigby, a representative from the Honor Code office, explained that beyond solidarity, this new move would “spare the wretched sinners of UVU from the plague that rattles Utah County,” and urged students to, “cry out for repentance.”

UVU officials are hopeful for a smooth transition, with Spokesperson Glenn Hansen saying, “Honestly I don’t think students will struggle with this at all.” he added, “Except maybe the housing policy, and coffee I guess, also participating in church services, and honestly most of the dress and grooming standards.”

BYU will be showing solidarity by lighting the “Y” on Y-mountain green for one night.
