HONOR COMMITTEE: When considering an amendment, consider the facts
Two students, Vendarryl Jenkins and Nathan Gonzalez, have recently proposed an amendment to the Honor Committee Constitution that would lower the qualified majority needed to ratify future amendments from 60 percent to 55 percent. On Feb. 7, they published an open letter that introduced this proposal to the student body. We want to be clear the editorial which follows does not take a stance on the substance of the amendment itself. Upon reading the letter, however, we felt that it was necessary to respond to certain claims the amendment’s sponsors make, some of which are premised on incomplete and inaccurate information.
