 | | BYU is wholly owned and operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and the church provides it with a large subsidy from Latter-day Saint tithing funds, providing roughly 70% of the cost of education at BYU. |
 | | BYU students and faculty are predominantly conservative, although there are several relatively left-leaning organizations, such as a small-but-active College Democrats organization as well as an organization called VOICE, which is concerned with issues such as gender equality and violence against women. |
 | | In regard to marriage, BYU is thus best described as a reflection of the cultural practices of the Mormon population as a whole (and particularly that of the Mountain West, which is significantly more culturally conservative than Mormon populations elsewhere within the United_States^), rather than as an outlier. |
