The University Honor Code

Brandon Davies’ dismissal from the BYU basketball team for honor code violations has drawn attention to the very idea of honor codes. We’ve outlined some of the more prominent examples for you:

Butler: Pretend to go to classes every day even though the only part of the university that actually exists is the gym

Citadel: No Second Amendment on the court

Indiana University: What’s left of school’s honor code is mostly illegible considering Bob Knight chewed it up and pissed on it in 1998

Miami: Strict penalties are handed down to any athlete who shorts a teammate on an eighth

Notre Dame: You can lie all you want, but Jesus saw what you did

Pacific: Code of conduct is unspecific but says players should never act in a manner that’s not befitting the Pacific Ocean

Purdue: Students must pledge never to build, or contemplate the building of, a drum larger than the university’s famous World’s Largest Drum

University of Texas: Athletes are not allowed to take money, but any piles of money they find just lying around the place are fair game

UC Berkeley: Athletes are strictly forbidden from either killing the buzz or quelling the vibe

USC: None
