Honor hosts forum on single sanction
By Thomas Madrecki and Sarah Myers | February 14, 2007Representatives from Hoos Against Single Sanction, Students for the Preservation of Honor and the Honor Committee debated options for changing the single sanction during a forum held by the Committee last night. Josh Hess, founder of Students for the Preservation of Honor, Rachel Carr, vice president of Hoos Against Single Sanction and Vice Chair for Trials Jay Trickett presented arguments for and against the single sanction, as well as alternative sanctioning systems such as informed retraction or multiple sanctions. "We wanted to discuss different proposals and examine the pros and cons," said Laura Holland, chair of Honor's single sanction ad hoc committee. Hess, who argued for the single sanction, admitted that the single sanction as a punishment is tough, and that emotional and intellectual frustration can result from it.
