In the Honor Committee’s first expulsion of the semester, an Engineering School student was found guilty of cheating by a student jury in a trial Sunday.
No information is publicly available about the proceedings yet, but Committee Chair Evan Behrle, a fourth-year College student, said a public summary will be published 30 days after the trial.
When a student is first brought up on honor charges, two honor committee members begin a preliminary investigation into the case. If they decide to proceed with the investigation the student may file an Informed Retraction within seven days and leave the University for two semesters or else an Investigative Panel completes an investigation. If the Investigative Panel concludes the student has more likely than not committed an honor offense, the student will be formally accused.
Students can no longer file informed retractions once they have been formally accused or after they have been found guilty at a trial, Behrle said.
