Appendix
A: Expanded
Statement of Commitment by Students and Faculty
Students.
In
order to ensure effective functioning of an Honor System worthy of
respect in this institution students are expected to:
Conduct
all academic work within the letter and spirit of the Honor Code,
which prohibits the giving or receiving of unauthorized aid in all academic
processes.
Consult with faculty and other sources to
clarify the meaning of plagiarism; to learn the recognized techniques
of proper attribution
of sources used in the preparation of written work; and to identify
allowable resource materials or aids to be used during examination
or in completion
of any graded work.
Sign a pledge on all graded academic work certifying
that no unauthorized assistance has been received or given in the completion
of the work.
Comply with faculty regulations designed to reduce
the possibility of cheating -- such as removing unauthorized materials
or aids from
the room and protecting one's own examination paper from the
view of others.
Maintain
the confidentiality of examinations by divulging no information
concerning an examination, directly or indirectly, to another
student yet to write
that same examination.
Treat all members of the University community
with respect and fairness.
Report any instance in which reasonable grounds
exist to believe that a student has given or received unauthorized
aid in graded work or inother respects violated the Honor Code. Such
report should be made to the Office of the Student Attorney General,
the
Office of
the Dean of Students, or other appropriate officer or official
of their college
or school.
Cooperate
with the Office of the Student Attorney General and the
defense counsel in the investigation and hearing of any incident
of alleged
violation,
including the giving of testimony when called upon. Nothing
herein shall be construed to contravene a student's rights enumerated
in Section IV.A.1
of this Instrument.
The offenses set out in Section II of
the Instrument, not this listing of responsibilities, shall be the
basis for
determining
chargeable
offenses under the Honor Code.
Faculty.
Academic work is a joint enterprise involving
faculty and students. Both have a fundamental
investment in the enterprise and both must share
responsibility for ensuring its integrity. In
relation to the Honor Code, therefore, specific
responsibilities of the faculty that parallel
the responsibilities
of students have been
formally
adopted by the Faculty Council as stated in Appendix
B.
Shared Aspirations.
These responsibilities
are the minimum expected of members of the
student body and the faculty. They
are not mutually exclusive, and the failure
of a student or a faculty
member
to live up
to the stated expectations does not lessen
or excuse any failure of the other to comply with
relevant
requirements.
