BEHRLE: The Honor Congress
Fourteen years ago, the Honor Committee assembled a group of stakeholders from across the University to study the health of the Honor System. In their final report, this “review commission” — which included representatives from the Dean’s Office, Student Affairs, the General Counsel’s Office, the Alumni Association, the Board of Visitors, and the Honor Committee itself — issued a sobering conclusion: “We do not think all is well with the Honor System. We agree with many in the community that the System is in grave danger and that without substantial reform it may succumb in the relatively near future to pressure, external, internal, or both.”
