Honesty Program to Begin
Plan Calls
For New
Procedures
With the start of classes
Monday, a new program aimed
at assuring honesty in the
classroom will go into effect.
The new academic honesty
program calls for new class
room procedures, prevention of
cheating, and a new social out
look toward dishonesty.
The plan came from a meet
ing of students, faculty members,
and representatives of the ad
ministration at the 1954 Student
Encampment at Mont Alto.
It was later approved by All-
University Cabinet, highest stu
dent governing body, and the
Council of Administration, com
posed of members of the admin
istration.
A number of steps to be
taken to cut opportunities to
cheat are outlined in the new
program. Use of alternate seat
ing in classrooms is an exam
ple.
A method of dealing with
cheaters something that was
not uniform before the new
program was created is also
included.
Three types of cheating are
recognized: presumably unpre
meditated cheating, premeditated
cheating, and cooperative pre
meditated cheating involving col
lusion.
- -
Students who are accused of
cheating will be given trials be
fore academic honesty boards,
composed of three faculty mem
bers and two students, in their
own college.
Students accused of the third
type of cheating, cooperative
premeditated cheating involv
ing collusion, will be given
hearings before the , Senate
Committee on Student Affairs
subcommittee on discipline.
This body will also serve as an
appeal board for students found
guilty by the academic honesty
committees in the colleges.
An example of unpremeditated
cheating is looking at another
student's test during an examina
tion. An example of premeditated
cheating is using crib notes dur
ing an exam. Sending a substitute
to take an exam is an example of
coonerative cheating.
The penalty for presumably
unoremeditated cheating is fil
ing a probationary memoran
dum in the offices of the &Lan
of the student's college, his ad
viser, the dean of men or the
dean of women, and notifying
parents of the action. •
For premeditated cheating
the penalty is disciplinary pro
bation for at least one year and
notification of parents.
Suspension for the remainder
of that semester or for the next
mester is the penalty for co
operative premeditated cheating
involving collusion.
Besides the nine college aca
demic honesty committees, an
All-Univemity group, known as
the Intercollege Committee on
Academie v . onesty, composed of
one representative of each col
committee, will discuss uni
formity of penalty.
