Mormon 'Real Worlder' Expelled

P R O V O, Utah July 29, 2000 -- The Brigham Young University student whoappeared on MTV’s Real World was suspended for the fall semester for breaking the school’s honor code.

Julie Stoffer, a business major from Delafield, Wis., spent fivemonths being filmed for the show while living with four men and twoother women in New Orleans.

The university, owned by the Church of Jesus Christ ofLatter Day Saints, prohibits single students from living withmembers of the opposite sex.

'I Didn’t Have Sex' BYU said Stoffer violated the honor code, but said federal lawprohibited it from providing details on the case.

“We certainly wish Julie well,” said BYU spokeswoman Carri P.Jenkins told KUTV. “This is not a decision if she was a good orbad person. It is about her commitment to the honor code.”

Last month, Julie said BYU officials should go by the spirit ofthe law, not the letter of the law.

“I didn’t have sex and they have that on tape,” Julie said inJune. “If I did have sex it would be on tape. It would be like:‘Mormon girl loses her virginity on TV.’”
