Ecclesiastical Leaders

Fundamental to the accomplishment of the mission of the Honor Code Office are ongoing, vital
relationships between the Honor Code Office, the Student Honor Association, students, ecclesiastical leaders, faculty, university units, and university administration. The results of these appropriate interactions aid Honor Code Office personnel to assist students, including those who have violated the Honor Code. These interactions also help support Honor Code Office policies and procedures. This section of the manual outlines these specific relationships.

ECCLESIASTICAL LEADERS

Brigham Young University - Hawaii is sponsored by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to provide a university education in an atmosphere that nurtures spiritual growth and a strong testimony of the divinity of Jesus Christ. To enhance Honor Code adherence and support among BYUH students, the Honor Code Office maintains a regular, cooperative liaison with stake, ward, and other ecclesiastical leaders.

Confidential communication shared between an ecclesiastical leader and an individual student is privileged. Therefore, students may confide their participation in violations of the Honor Code to their ecclesiastical leaders without fear of a direct report to the Honor Code Office. As ecclesiastical leaders support their students in development of spiritual understanding and personal responsibility, they may consult with Honor Code Office personnel regarding university policies and procedures. When students' ecclesiastical endorsements are revoked or students are disfellowshipped, excommunicated, or become disaffiliated from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the bishops and/ or stake presidents are required to convey that change of status to the Honor Code Office. In turn, the Honor Code Office informs students of any actions taken related to their university status.
