Aiding The Guilty

For the benefit of any student
who is found guilty of an honor
offense, the Committee in
conjunction with the Placement
Office has compiled information
which might help the student after
he leaves the University. This
information includes a list of
schools where other students in the
past who committed a breach of
the system found admittance.

The Vice President of the Law
School, has the responsibility of
procuring student counsel for both
the accuser and the accused and
seeing that these students have all
necessary information about the
system and trial procedure at hand.

Much administrative work is
connected with an tu honor
trial. If a student is found guilty of
a breach of the system, all of the
evidence of the case is kept on
record by the Committee in the
event that there is a retrial with the
presentation of new evidence.

The number of dismissals has
remained fairly constant since the
turn of the century with only slight
increases in later years which are
probably due to increased
enrollment. Of the average fifteen
dismissals a year almost all have
been for the offense of cheating
with only a few lying and stealing
dismissals scattered in over the
years.
