PROVO, Utah (AP) - In a story Jan. 28 about an An Air Force ROTC detachment at Brigham Young University, The Associated Press erroneously identified Layton Shumway’s employer. Shumway is a spokesman for Utah Valley University, not Brigham Young University.
A corrected version of the story is below:
ROTC unit may move from BYU to state school over code issue
An Air Force ROTC detachment at Brigham Young University may move several miles away to state-run Utah Valley University because the unit’s non-Mormon commander isn’t willing to abide by BYU’s honor code
PROVO, Utah (AP) - An Air Force ROTC detachment at Brigham Young University may move several miles away to state-run Utah Valley University because the unit’s non-Mormon commander isn’t willing to abide by BYU’s honor code.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints owns BYU and the Salt Lake Tribune (https://goo.gl/8ahDB3) reports that Col. Timothy Hogan has balked at signing the code.
The code’s provisions include prohibitions against alcohol, drugs, coffee and other activities, and Hogan said BYU wouldn’t waive the Honor Code requirements so he can be a faculty member.
Utah Valley spokesman Layton Shumway said there has been discussion about moving the detachment to UVU in nearby Orem.
UVU and BYU already share the detachment, which includes students from both schools.
Hogan arrived at BYU last summer.
