Last year, a student at Brigham Young University made news when she was accused of violating the schools honor code by being raped.
The accused rapist Nasiru Seidu was acquitted of the 2015 first-degree rape charge, according to Jezebel.
The survivor was allegedly raped off campus, but she was investigated for her sexual behavior that was detailed in the police report. Students at BYU are not allowed to have premarital sex, regardless of whether that sex is nonconsensual. She was then prevented from enrolling in classes because she refused to cooperate with the Honor Code investigation.
BYU likes to look at your rape and chop it up into little pieces and choose the parts that they can punish you for, she said in 2016. Theyre emboldening my rapist.
She didnt initially involve the campus since the alleged rape took place off campus. The police report was given to the university, however, by a Utah County Sheriff, who is a friend of the accused rapist. The U.S. Department of Education did begin a Title IX investigation, but that investigation is still pending. New Education Secretary Betsy DeVos has called into question President Barack Obamas work to try and eradicate sexual assault on college campuses and is reviewing the rules.
