V. Reporting Violations of the Honor Code
-
If a student notices an 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, or secretary of that department, if they can be accessed outside of
the exam room, in the same manner as mentioned above. 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.
-
Violations or possible 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 2 weeks of the purported violation. In the case in which the letter is
not received within 2 weeks, the President and Vice President shall meet
to determine if the reported violation is serious enough to demand attention by
the court and suspend the normal 2 weeks limit to accept letters of reported
violations.
-
The letter shall be sealed in an envelope and
given to any Honor Court member who shall within 48 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.) 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.
