One person claimed in an Instagram post that she was violently sexually assaulted after a date, but was afraid to report the attack because her having been in the unnamed assailant's bedroom might be considered a violation of the honor code.

calling for the university to update its honor code system has amassed nearly 11,000 signatures as of Thursday.She said she was called into the office and placed on probation for a year over an old photo from social media in which she was"dressed immodestly," and a crude joke she had favorited on Twitter years earlier about handsome men in the Mormon Church.

"But there’s so much more that goes behind that code and enforcing it, and we don’t realize what we’re signing," she said."It’s not so much about you and God and your church anymore, it’s also this office, 4th floor in Wilkinson Center -- that’s where you’re going to go to repent.""Although we don’t have an official statement for you, we are aware of the anonymous posts on the Instagram account you mentioned," the spokesman said.

Draughon said it is impossible to independently verify each story posted on the Instagram account. But she said she recognizes details in other people’s stories from her own experience, such as students who interact with the office being assigned an honor code counselor and the number of days they would wait for an appointment.
