Due Process
Without dealing with the precise
procedures, let me also say that it is
my opinion, and it accords with the
opinion of four other lawyers whom
I respect, that the procedures used
in a so-called honor trial more than
comport with the fundamental
fairness and due process of law that
the United States Constitution
requires.
Finally, I think we ought to
have respect and maximum
freedom for each student and
faculty member to do as he sees fit
within a very broad curriculum.
These educational opportunities,
these living opportunities, the
avoidance of becoming a
multiversity, all of this is going to
begin or has begun already at the
University of Virginia. I think these
developments are all grounded in
the community of mutual trust,
which the Honor System does so
much to foster. It is in such a
community, motivated by such a
spirit of honor, if you will, that I
believe each of us can aid the other
in reaching his maximum personal
fulfillment. Such elevation of the
spirit should be the touchstone for
every future development at this
University.
