V. Reporting Violations of the Honor Code
-
If a student witnesses a suspected Honor Code violation during an examination, he/she should notify the proctor, if one is present, of the suspected individual(s). If there is not a proctor present, notify the professor, attending physician, or secretary of that department. All steps should be taken in a subtle manner as to not alarm anyone. After the exam, the accuser should talk to no one but the Honor Court President and the Case Investigator about the incident. Honor Court members can answer general questions about the notification procedure, but specific information about the case may only be discussed with the President or Vice President.
-
Suspected violations of the Honor Code shall be reported in writing. The signed letter of accusation should name the alleged violator(s); and state in as much detail as possible the place, date, time, circumstances and other pertinent facts of the alleged offense. The letter should be received within two weeks of the purported violation. In the case in which the letter is not received within two weeks, the President and Vice President shall meet to determine if the reported violation is serious enough to demand attention by the court and extend the customary two weeks limit to accept letters of reported violations.
- The signed letter shall be sealed in an envelope and given to any Honor Court member who shall, within forty-eight hours of receipt of the letter, deliver the letter to the President.
-
Any student who believes that faculty are failing to carry out their responsibilities under the honor system shall file a complaint using the format listed in (1.) V2. above. In such cases, the President shall forward a copy of the written statement to the President of the Faculty Senate of the School of Medicine and the President of the Honor Court shall address this issue in his yearly report to the Faculty Senate.
