历史
荣誉制度是1955年由新大学生会提出的. 经过学生和教师委员会的研究和接受, students in the College of Agriculture voted to establish the Honor System in their college for a trial period of one year. At the end of that period, the students of the college voted to continue the Honor System. In elections held every four years since that time, students have voted in favor of the Honor System. 要延续这一制度,需要三分之二的多数票.
老师的责任
Each instructor is requested to include a description of the Honor System on their syllabi and to explain it to the students taking their course. The honor pledge is “On my honor I have neither given nor received aid in completing this assignment.“这句话应该包括在所有考试中, 小测验, 论文, 问题集, and any other materials designated as individual efforts that are required for completion of the class. Instructors are asked to reject any individual assignments that do not include a signed pledge. If academic dishonesty is suspected by the instructor or brought to attention of the instructor by a student, 导师应与荣誉委员会讨论此问题. Assigning the task of evaluation and penalty to the peers of the accused maintains the principles of integrity held by the college, conveys that academic dishonesty is not the accepted standard within their peer group, 并且减少了教师的时间义务. 如果发现学术不端行为, 教练可以接受或修改荣誉委员会建议的处罚.
学生的责任
每个学生必须阅读并签署在作业或考试中指定的荣誉誓言. It is the student’s responsibility to take actions that will contribute to the elimination of academic dishonesty. 如果学生目睹学术不端行为, he or she may attempt to correct the situation by announcing that academic dishonesty is occurring, 通过与个人交谈, 或者报告事件. As a rule, the identity of the student who witnesses the academic misconduct is held in confidence. 作为一个自治实体, 鼓励学生提出修改建议,以完善荣誉制度. These suggestions can be offered through the Associate Dean for 学术项目’ office or to any member of 荣誉委员会.
