Chad Hardy's BYU Honor Code Review - Part 5 of 5

In a letter dated September 29, 2008, Chad Hardy, producer of the infamous Men on a Mission Calendars and www.MormonsExposed.com website, received a letter from Mormon-owned Brigham Young University informing him that he had been deleted from his August 15, 2008 graduation, and would not be awarded his BA degree in Communication Studies because of he was excommunicated from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on July 13, 2008, a month before graduation.

All of his required coursework had already been completed prior to the church discipline, and was not required to abide by the schools strict Honor Code because he finished his coursework online from his home in Las Vegas, NN. His only recourse given to get his diploma was to come back to full fellowship with the LDS Church.

Brigham Young University failed to follow their own policies and procedures in disciplining Hardy and revoking his degree. This series of videos are the actual recording from the official University Review with BYU Dean of Students, Vernon Heperi.

Two weeks later, Hardy was denied an exception from BYU policy and will not be awarded his degree.

This story would make a great documentary. Are you listenting HBO or Showtime?

Members of the lds church claim they have freedom? Living in a box is not freedom.

my favorite part is 1:07

If BYU wants that kind of unfair authoritarian control, let them do it without tax money or tithing money taken from the struggling poor. Let BYU stand up on it's own. Then they can teach Brigham Young's teachings more fully including death for interacial marriage, blood atonment, poligamy and institutionalized racism.

This is really pathetic! My girlfriend, three sisters, and two cousins were molested by their grandfather, a High Mormon Priest.

When her family brought it to the Church's attention, and asked them to ex-communicate him via his full confession, they refused.

Tell me, what is worse?  A satirical calendar or multiple child molestations?

Sounds like the Church has its priorities in order!

I really thought Chad made a good case. A technicality seemed to get him and they seem to be within their legal means to withold his degree. I didn't like how the Dean was spinning the questions, but I understand he has his job to consider. Also, there is no doubt that it's obvious Chad was being difficult and not helping his case whatsoever. I don't believe they would have given him his degree if he had "passed" the Dean's interview anyways...

Yeah, just admit it. Your goofy dumb-ass just got pissed when BYU refused to give you your Diploma over breaking the rules, and now your on some stupid crazy "revenge" crusade to "get them back". BYU 10, you 0, bro. How about whatever education you did get out of the University and get a life now?

[blbrad59]

you want BYU to do the right thing, what about you abiding by the same standard. Did you do the Right Thing? I think not.
