If that is still the case -- that is, if the 10% wage reduction is mandatory as a condition of employment -- then BYU has the ethical obligation to adjust the advertised effective wages accordingly, since they would be competing for labor against $50k positions offered by other companies, not $55k positions.
BYU is mainly competing for members who pay tithing regardless of where they work. Among that group, $55k sets the correct expectation.
The employment FAQ states that you do not have to be Mormon to work at BYU. However, when it comes to BYU's academic programs, if you *used to be* Mormon, BYU considers you to be in a ``special category'' and will not admit you. Would this same practice of religious discrimination also apply to potential employees at BYU?
Perhaps you realize that the law specifically allows private organizations to discriminate in certain ways. All-girl schools exist, for example. BYU is smart to allow non-LDS, but the law doesn't require them to do so.
