55 years ago today - Sep 12, 1962

Ernest L. Wilkinson, President of BYU, met with BYU general counsel Clyde Sandgren, the new Dean of Students, J. Elliott Cameron, and Apostle Spencer Kimball and Mark E. Petersen "on the question of homosexuals who might possibly be part of the student body." They developed a cooperative system where Mormon General Authorities and other Church administrators would give BYU any information they obtained about homosexuals on campus and BYU would give Church administrators information about homosexual church members. They decide, "as a general policy that no one will be admitted as a student at the BYU whom we have convincing evidence is a homosexual."
