      Many private universities have issues with federal regulations and honor codes. Many starting athletics and regular students have been suspended when not abiding with the honor code. BYU Hawaii actually subsidized each student (discounted tuition thru church funding) and usually provides campus employment.
      Here is the general policy statement. Hope this helps.

      Brigham Young University – Hawaii is committed to promoting and maintaining a safe and respectful environment for the campus community. The university will not tolerate sexual harassment, sexual violence, domestic violence, dating violence, or stalking (collectively “Sexual Misconduct”) perpetrated by or against any university students, university employees, participants in university programs and activities, or visitors to its campus. This policy prohibits Sexual Misconduct by university employees (which include all faculty, staff, and administrative employees) and students, whether the behavior occurs on or off campus. This policy also prohibits Sexual Misconduct by or against visitors to the university (such as independent contractors, vendors, visiting lecturers, and visiting student-athletes).

      The university will take immediate and appropriate steps to stop Sexual Misconduct, prevent its recurrence, and address its effects. Any person who violates this policy may be subject to discipline up to and including termination of employment, suspension, dismissal, and a ban from campus, depending on the circumstances and the severity of the violation and the violator’s status as an employee, student, or visitor.

    Having attended a school with an honor code there was never any doubt that this code did NOT apply to a rape, molestation or any other illegal activity. This was moral code to set expectations.
