Maybe this doesn't bug me as much because this happens in real life. Now that I've worked for companies that have 'HR Departments' I feel the real world is the same.
Corporations have their own honor codes and if it ~appears~ that you have broke the employee agreement your gone. They ask a few questions to get your side knowing that they are going to boot you anyways. "Honor_Code_Office" == "HR_Departments"; They are all the same. --Traivs On Fri, 2003-08-29 at 10:09, Jay Taylor wrote: > I might as well throw in my .02c... > > The Honor Code has the potential to be a great thing...but when > we, as students, have no say or input whatsoever, I think it is > indicative of a lack of trust between BYU Administration and the BYU > Student Body.
