Minutes of the University Faculty July 23, 1946

recommendations were accepted by the Beard of Trustees, to make
the UniVersity Faculty large enough to be truly representative
and small enough to be efficient and effective. We believe that
the experience of the last three years has confirmed the purDOSe
and design of the Committee of Fifteen. -

We wish to cemmend the Committee on Elections for its zealous
and impartial conduct of the elections to this body.

There is a minor matter on which the Committee wishes to make
a recommendation. The UniVersity Faculty by its own decision sends
copies of its minutes to the heads of departments and not to the
entire teaching staff. This was done partly as a matter of war
economy and at a time when paper was very scarce. We are suggesting
that the Faculty reconsider this decision. We believe that
the representative nature of this body would be better served by
keeping the whole staff informed directly of its deliberations,
and, for that reason. we recommend that the distribution of the
Minutes include the entire teaching and research staff.

During the past year several students have complained that, on
the basis of their own observations, cheating in examinations is
prevalent at the University of Kentucky.

At President Donovan’s request, the Committee on Planning and
Policy undertook to investigate the situation. It has met three
times and on one of these occasions several students were invited
to meet with them. There was no agreement among these students
that cheating was excessive, although all agreed that it did occur,
and that in SOme colleges and classes it did appear frequently.

Some thought that under any set of rules and even under the strictest
supervision, some cheating would occur.

The possibility of an honor system was explored, but no sub”
stantial support either from the students or from the commidee
members was forthcoming for a student~aéminlstered honor system.

It was agreed, however, that a firm stand taken publicly by a
considerable number of campus leaders and campus organizations in
favor of a high personal code of honor and integrity would do more
good in raising the student morale than any fixed honor system could
hope to achieve at this time. The cooperation of responsible student
leaders was assured in this respect and concerted efforts will become
evident in the ceming year.

The Committee reviewed the present penalty for cheating as stated
in the Rules 2: the University Faculty. Few cases of cheating are
being reported to the Registrar, and if this were a safe guide to a
determination of the amount of cheating going on. we might conclude
that there is not very much. We know that in some departments
disciplinary action is being used, but that it is not being reported.
Moreover, we believe that considerable laxity on the part of the
teachers exists in trying to discourage and to prevent dishonesty,

Minutes of the University Faculty July 23, 1946

although we are very reluctant to believe that any teachers are
simpxy condoning or ignoring it in their classes.

We would like to stress the following points: (1) It is the
complete responsibility of each teacher to do every thing he can to
encourage honesty and to discourage dishonesty in all student
performance. We recognize that in some eases the existing conditions
such as very large classes, close proximity of students in the class~
room, and inadequate proctoring assistance, make the teacher's
responsibility an extraordinarily difficult one to fulfill. Never»
theless, the careful teacher can through skill, unobtrusive obsera
vation, and persistence eliminate all but the most occasional
dishonesty. (2) We believe that many faculty members have forgotten
what the University rule on cheating is, and that the newer
members of the faculty may not know it at all. We, therefore,
recommend that the teaching staff be reminded on regular occasions
of the existing rule. It must also become a matter of familiarity
to the student body. (3) We do not reCOmmend any change in the
existing penalty for cheating, but we believe that it should be
uniformly enforced. A clear ease of cheating deserves the kind of
disciplinary action prescribed in the rule, and its more frequent
use would have a wholesoue deterrent effect. (4) We recognize
thatdisciplinary action is not the primary method of developing
character. Therefore, we deem it wise for each college faculty
to tackle this problem in the light of its own situation and from
the point of view of the larger moral issues involved.

The Faculty voted that the entire report be approved and that the
section relating to cheating be mimeographed and distributed to
all members of the teaching staff at the Opening of the fall quarter.

In connection with the f irst part of the report dealing with
the membership of the Faculty, there was some discussion of the
matter of attendance at meetings and it was pointed out that the
Committee of Fifteen had provided that attendance records should
be kept and that nonmattendance.should be cause for the Faculty's
dropping a member. President Donovan suggested that next fall
notices should be sent out that the Faculty would enforce the
regulation governing attendance.
