Honor to educate students on report
By Antoinette Alston | November 15, 2000In preparation for Sunday's release of a detailed report that analyzes every aspect of the University's student-run honor system, members of the Honor Committee expressed hope that it will be well-received by the University community. The Honor System Review Commission report will address the efficiency of honor trials, investigations and Honor Committee bylaws as well as offer suggestions on how to fix problems within the complex system. "I think students should be educated about" the report, said Honor Committee Chairman Thomas Hall, who also is a Commission member. "It will be lengthy and complex," but the Committee is "looking to make the report accessible to students by having a condensed version available and having things that allow students to engage in issues raised in the report," Hall said. He said the Review Commission will hold forums and breakfasts to allow students to discuss the report once it has been released. Ginny Rothschild, Committee vice chairwoman for investigations, said the Commission has many plans for education that will target individual academic departments within the University and there will be a faculty mailing list, as well. After the report's release, the Honor Committee will vote on whether to adopt its suggestions.
