The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced updated Church Educational System standards on Thursday, altering the Honor Code and unifying dress and grooming standards across campuses.
SALT LAKE CITY — The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced a few significant changes to rules at its university campuses on Thursday ahead of the upcoming school year.was already consistent across all of the church-owned campuses, the new update indicates dress and grooming standards are also now unified across campuses — meaning shorts are allowed on all campuses, even at BYU-Idaho.
The updated Honor Code also says that students should abstain from marijuana. Previously, marijuana was not specifically listed but may have been interpreted within abstaining from "substance abuse" in the same paragraph. "The updates are principle-based, provide consistency across CES institutions, and better align student endorsement interviews with church leaders' ecclesiastical responsibilities. The changes are designed to help students grow closer to Jesus Christ and strengthen the overall student experience," the church's announcement states.
The new guidelines will be implemented across all schools — BYU, BYU-Hawaii, BYU-Idaho and Ensign College — on Wednesday. "CES recognizes that students are striving to deepen their faith and testimonies of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. Recognizing that we sometimes fall short of perfectly realizing these aspirations, and in order to encourage continued growth, students are invited to strive toward certain ideals while upholding foundational standards of conduct," the update states.
