BYU Sexual Assault Comment Website Closes

A website created for public feedback on how Brigham Young University handles reports of sexual assault has closed.

BYU spokeswoman Carri Jenkins tells The Daily Herald of Provo that an advisory council reviewing the issue had planned to close the site as they conclude their study. It had more than 3,000 comments.

The council is expected to report its findings this fall.

The Mormon-owned university is also being investigated by federal education officials about how it handles sexual assault reports.

The investigation was opened after female students and alumni spoke out against honor code investigations opened into students who reported abuses.

All BYU students must agree to a code that bans premarital sex and alcohol consumption, among other things.
