Lewd behavior may result in disciplinary action by the Honor Code Office whether or not the student is prosecuted under the law. A person is lewd when he or she removes underclothing and exposes himself or herself, masturbates, engages in voyeurism, or performs any other act in a public place or under circumstances which the person should know will likely cause affront or alarm to another person. In most cases the consequences for lewd behavior are probation or suspension. Factors that weigh in the decision include the extent to which the behavior was public, the number of persons affected, and the potential for harm. This restitution can be through work or the payment of money.
Work is preferred.
The work hours will be equivalent to costs based on minimal wage level. The students will be placed on university probation until completion of the restitution or longer. Any violation of another individual's right to be free from forcible and non-forcible sex offenses constitutes a serious violation of the Honor Code which may result in immediate suspension or dismissal from the university. Theft and Burglary Theft of another person's property and possessions including unauthorized possession of such property, is a violation of the Honor Code and action may be taken by the Honor Code Office independent of any action taken within the judicial system. Any level of theft at BYUH is significant and may lead to suspension.
