This week, students at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, protested the school's response to sexual assault. After a student was allegedly raped off campus by a non-student, she reported the incident to the Provo police. Then she was later summoned by a BYU official to respond to charges she had violated the school's honor code, which requires students to be chaste. Salt Lake Tribune reporter Erin Alberty speaks with Here & Now's Robin Young.
