The Honor Committee finalized two surveys, Feedback on Involvement with Honor Investigation From the Reporter and Feedback on Involvement with Honor Investigation and Trial From the Reporter, at last night’s meeting. The surveys were designed to increase communication between the Committee and reporters of honor violations; the former was created for honor cases that are dropped after the investigation process and the latter for honor cases that go through the investigation and trial processes.
The surveys ask reporters how they felt about the level of communication between themselves and the honor advisors as well as the reporters’ impressions of the case investigation. The surveys also ask reporters if they were comfortable in their understanding of the trial procedures and ask reporters to evaluate the timeliness of the investigation and trial processes on a scale from one to five.
The Committee plans to put the surveys into effect immediately. Vice Chair for Trials Sophie Staples said the Committee may update the surveys in the future, if it wishes to do so.
“As far as implementing this, it can be changed any time,” she said.
