suit of conferences with the Student Committee that there

are 5.111 some obstacles in the way of perfecting the System.

Seme of the greatest difficulties arise from the follow=

ing:°

l. A lack of understanding as to what is meant by sus-
pensiona

2s A lack of understanding as regards the status of
the student while under suSpension and of the
status of such student when re-instated.

3. The lack of information as to whether students
should get credit for work in courses in which
they have been caught cheating.

4. An interference on the part of the Faculty with

the working of the Honor System by making the

operation of the Honor System optional in their

in their classes, or by refusing to co~operate
with the Student Committee by encouraging those
who have been suspended to continue to engage
in student activities; by using their authority
to call before them members of the Committee, the
y. accused, witnesses, etc., and by passing judgment
on the justice of the actions of the Student Com-
mittee.
In consideration of these things, it is the sense of
your Committee upon Student Welfare that the successful 0p-
eration of the Honor System can only b; dﬁsured if these

difficulties are properly looked aftera " We recommend“

 

therefore, that the General Faculty define the status of
the student when under suspension, and it is our belief that
suspension should include a loss of e11 the rights and priv-

ileges of a student to engage in the general activities of

 

this Institution;b that written notice shall be given by the

Secretary or proper officer to the Instructors in whose

 

courses students have been found cheating and for which they
have been suspended from the Institution;; that such stu-
dents be not allowed credit in these courses but be compelled
to take such Work over again; that upon returning to a course
of study, after suspension, the status of such student he

left in the hands of the individual instructors; that where—
as it is desirable for members of the Faculty to report any
evidence of cheating to the Student Committee for their con-
sideration and cooperate with the Student Committee in every
way possible whenever called upon by the Committee to so as-

‘WQQ sist them, yet no member of the Faculty should in any way in:>

3% terfereor participate in the Operation of the system except

 

 

 

 

when expressedly invited to do so; that making the honor 7};

system optional on the vote of the class is entirely con-

 

trary to the spirit of the system.

In as much as the Student Cammittee is powerless to en-

 

force its decision without the sanction of the General Facul-

tyu.we further recommend that any violation of the Honor

 

 

 System or failure to abide by the decisions of the Honor
committee shall be brought before the regular Committee
on Discipline and that such violatiOnf shall render the

guilty person liable to expulsion from the University.

ceive any salary or pay for services from any department
