The Honor Committee discussed a new format for its accusation letter as well as its upcoming schedule Sunday night.
Julie Crauccio was also introduced as the new special assistant to the Honor Committee.
Crauccio is currently on staff in the office ofPatricia Lampkin, vice president for student affairs, and attended the University as an undergraduate, according to Committee Chair Alison Tramba.
Crauccio is taking over for Nicole Eramo, who held the position for the past nine years.
Other changes to the Committee included modifications to the letter that is sent to students accused of committing an Honor offense.
According to Vice Chair for Investigations Andrew Siegel, the accusation letter sent to students will now include a more detailed description of the charge.
"I have gotten a number of calls from parents, students and attorneys asking exactly what they're being charged with ... I thought something like this would be helpful," Siegel said.
Other Committee members approved of the changes.
"It's nice and clear," said Graduate Arts & Sciences Rep. Maria Fitzpatrick.
Siegel added Investigation Panels could expect to see the new form this week.
The Committee also discussed its end of the semester schedule.
Tramba said the Committee is planning on releasing a survey of faculty opinions on the honor system Nov. 26. The Committee has been working with an independent company on the faculty survey for over a year.
Tramba said while the survey was scheduled to be released yesterday, Provost Gene Block requested extra time to look over the survey because he has been out of the country.
The Committee's final meeting of the semester will take place Dec. 3. Committee members will discuss by-law changes and hopefully vote on them at that time, according to Tramba.
