The survey asked several schools, "How often does a case involving academic dishonesty come to the attention of your disciplinary process?" Here are their responses:
Honor Code Schools Ratio of Cases Per Students Annapolis 1:218 Dartmouth 1:342 Hamilton 1:107 Haverford 1:119 Mount Holyoke 1:209 Stanford 1:505 Virginia ** 1:314 West Point 1:197 Wellesley ** 1:288 William and Mary ** 1:46
Non-Honor Code Schools Ratio of Cases Per Students Columbia 1:192 Cooper Union 1:917 Cornell ** 1:5733 HARVARD 1:163 Michigan 1:338
** Figures reported as the annual caseload of the honor court, which also treats social misconduct. They therefore may include both social and academic cases.
