OE topic

For my topic I will write on the Honor Code, stressing the issue of facial hair.

  1. When you say stressing the issue of facial hair on campus, are you saying your in favor of the the policies against facial hair or you think that said policies should be discontinued. I think you have a great topic here seeing as it is widely talked about and the opinion varies as to whether or not facial hair should be accepted on campus. Like Amy talked about in class, as you begin to write on this topic, I think it would be beneficial to research why it is BYU has policies against facial hair in the first place.

  2. This is definitely an issue: however, as I've mentioned with some others who are also doing honor code topics, you will have to proceed with caution and some originality. This topic is almost as overdone as parking, and while that means there are some good points to the argument, many of them are also easily countered, leaving the issue heavily argued but ultimately stagnant. Unless you're considering a very unique approach, I would choose a different topic.

  3. And thank you, McKaylee, for bringing up the research on why this was made a policy in the first place: this is very important for a topic like this.
