A. Composition of the Honor Board
The Honor Board is composed of eight student members from the sophomore, junior and senior classes and three faculty members, all of whom have voting privileges. The student members select from the most senior members a student Chair and Co-Chair.
Students apply for Honor Board membership in the spring semester. All applications are reviewed by current student members, and final decisions are made after interviews. Three faculty members are appointed by the Faculty Governance Committee for overlapping, two-year terms.
Students and faculty members who are selected to serve on the Board are expected to exhibit sensitivity, confidentiality, integrity, and professionalism in their activities. The Dean of Studies serves as adviser to the Board. Regular attendance at meetings and a high level of involvement are requisite components of membership on the Honor Board.
A member who regularly fails to attend scheduled meetings, hearings and any other Honor Board obligation will be contacted by either the Dean of Studies or the Chair of the Honor Board to encourage a higher level of participation.
