What other BYU areas are allowed to ignore the dress code?
Because the problem is that the Honor Code is perceived almost on par with scripture, so when it is outdated BYU students/faculty try to squeeze our way through or around the Honor Code instead of just changing the Honor Code to fit the current situations.
This needs intensive work by apologists applying their finely-honed skills of contextualization, deep reading in the context of newly excavated Gnostic texts, etc.
For a start, how do we really know what 'knee' meant when the code was first drafted? In the same way that earlier authors often used the word 'side' out of delicacy when referring to a woman's belly, it is completely arguable (love that phrase ...) that 'knee' originally meant 'crotch'.
See how easy it is?

As a long-time University of Utah Gymnastics season ticket holder, every time the BYU team comes to town I wonder if the Brethren have seen and approved of their outfits (or some of their moves, for that matter).

Judging by the LDS official definition of "pornography" on their web site (therefore doctrine, according to BC), it seems to me that it consists of anything that prompts certain feelings.
With that wide-open definition, this girl's outfit could conceivably qualify for the boy who authored the note. He obviously felt some kind of "stirrings" when he saw her, ergo porno.
