According to its website, the Administrative Board’s current policy allows the body to scratch a case, take no action, “admonish” a student, place a student on probation, or require the student to temporarily withdraw. In extreme cases, a student may be dismissed from the College by the Faculty Council after a referral from the Ad Board.
The outcomes of all of the cases heard by the Honor Board in a given year would be released annually, according to a detailed supplement on the new body provided to members of the Faculty.
The proposal also recommends the creation of a another role for students—a peer-to-peer advising network that would work with students in potential violation of the honor code. A student accused of breaking the affirmation of integrity would have the option of speaking with such a peer adviser.
