When the movement to reform the Honor Code began, like many other students, I was thrilled at the thought of a chance to change Brigham Young University from within.
It didn’t take long for a group of passionate students to form in the hopes of bringing about a long overdue update to university policy. My position in BYU Democrats placed me in that passionate group of students because of the many members of our club who had been made to feel particularly marginalized, despite the fact that people on both sides of the political aisle have been hurt by the inequitable enforcement of the Honor Code.
