What BYU’s New Immunity Clause Could Mean for Sex-Assault Victims

Protesters delivered a petition to Brigham Young U. officials last spring over their handling of sexual-assault cases at the Mormon institution. The university announced this week that it will grant amnesty to students who run afoul of BYU’s Honor Code when they report cases of sexual violence.  Brigham Young University garnered praise this week for announcing that it would grant students who report sexual violence immunity from being investigated for conduct violations that occur at or near the time of the assault.
