a while ago, there was a 'controversy' about the YBU police sharing confidential info with the 'Honor's Office' (Oh, the IRONY of that!!!!).

I believe it was before state authorities bc of the question of the certification of the YBU police department...

Does anyone know how this has gone / resolved?

Yeah, it's a boring day, 'sorry'

Just like every other problem the church has handled, it has been properly swept under the rug.

Yes but with a sanitized broom!!!

Eventually, the Salt Lake Tribune won a Pulitzer by covering the whole story that unfolded from this. I wonder if they tell members that in Sunday school.

I've been curious about this too. Inquired a couple months ago:

As messygoop noted, this will simply get swept under the rug.
Everyone will continue to ignore it, and it will go away. That's partly why I continue to ask about it. (Same with BYU "losing" its ROTC programs.)


The morg isn't about to give up its private police force. And their well-entrenched bureaucrats will make sure it never happens.

Looks like GNPE was a few days early in asking.

Looks like BYU is trying to skirt the law by having their police force that will do general policing, and a separate investigation force that will have access to police databases, but will NOT (in their humble opinion) be accountable under Utah public records laws that apply to police forces and public universities.

Can you say "weasel?"

"Unlike police officers, they will not have the authority to make arrests or conduct traffic stops. And they will not have access to police databases, which were at the heart of the transparency issue with records at BYUPD"

To answer the OP's question, the next hearing is later this month

"The next hearing on the BYU police decertification process is scheduled for later this month. At that time, a judge could rule on a motion for summary judgment."

Did you see they'll have 300 student employees?

In 2017 there were 33,500 students. So basically ine student security employee for 100 students.

Hearing held, no decision yet.

That's just the hearing on BYU's motion for summary judgment, which is an opportunity for the respondent (BYU) to get the case thrown out before a trial.

The legal standard is whether the petitioner (Utah) has alleged all the requisite elements required by the statute. For this proceeding the judge assumes that everything the petitioner alleges is true. My guess is that the judge is going to conclude that all the elements of the case are there and hence that the respondent (BYU) must answer in a full trial. Bear in mind that motions for summary judgment are rarely successful.

So if the judge rules against BYU on this, the trial will be scheduled and discovery will proceed--revealing all sorts of things that the university and the church would like to keep confidential. That's where we're headed now.

That sounds interesting!

"Most of the personal information illegally shared by Rhoades was of women who were victims of sexual assault."

So that YBU could further victimize the victims.

Can't have those licked cupcakes around violatin' the H̶o̶n̶o̶r̶ Code of Conformity.
