Recent events have ranged from accusations of racism at a volleyball match to questions about waiving clergy confidentially to an off-campus drag show attended by LGBTQ students. Here’s a rundown of seven recent stories that have drawn attention to the university, operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints:BYU has an “ecclesiastical employment form” for new hires — including faculty and staff — that reiterates the expectation that all employees will have a current temple recommend and “be worthy of one.”
That isn’t new. But now wording has been added to the agreement candidates must sign, authorizing the Ecclesiastical Clearance Office at church headquarters to “contact” their lay leaders to determine their “worthiness” for employment at BYU. Candidates must agree that their bishops can disclose “matters that priesthood leaders would otherwise keep confidential … to the extent the confidential matters relate to the standards of employment.
The groups who made the pamphlets were alerted to them being discarded after they had already paid $200 to the school to include them, and another $1,800 to print them. Those amounts were later refunded.
