BYU student's honor code note goes viral | News

A student at Brigham Young University received what she thought was a love note Tuesday night, but was actually a letter questioning her compliance with the Brigham Young University Honor Code.

Brittany Molina, who received the note, posted the following from her Facebook account: "so its valentines night! and i was sitting in the business building... studying accounting. go figure. this random boy walks up to me and gives me what i thought was a love note.... turns out...."

The note said: "You may want to consider that what you're wearing has a negative effect on the men (and women) around you. Many people come to this university  because they feel safe, morally as well as physically, here. The expect others to abide by the Honor Code that we all agreed on. Please consider your commitment to the Honor Code (which you agreed to) when dressing each day. Thank you."

When Molina looked up, the person who gave her the note was gone. Molina said she was angered by the note at first.

"At first I was really upset by it. I was like, I'm sorry for making other people feel uncomfortable. I completely didn't mean to," said Molina.

Molina has since posted the note with a photo of herself and the clothes she was wearing. In the span of 24 hours the photo has gone viral (see here).

Scott Christensen, a BYU student, recognized Molina while being interviewed by FOX 13. He commented on her photo and the note.

"Oh, I saw that. That went viral. You know, I thought that was pretty ridiculous," said Christensen.

BYU's honor code states that women's dress is "inappropriate when it is sleeveless, strapless, backless, or revealing; has slits above the knee; or is form fitting. Dresses, skirts, and shorts must be knee-length or longer."
