3 Honor as a Junior… Juniors have the responsibility to demonstrate and teach the lower classes about honor in various ways. –Leadership positions –Mentoring knobs and sophomores –In the classroom (set the example) –Honor Representative Training participation/committee takeover

4 Special Orders Once the activity that you are on Special Orders/Leave has completed, you must return to campus immediately You are not allowed to take General leave in conjunction with Special Orders/Leave if you have prior obligations (Class, Punishments, etc)

5 Overnight/Weekend Sheets and Online Sign out “My signature below certifies that I have the required leave available and I must be Academic, Conduct, Physically Proficient as of the date and time I sign out on leave.” Ensure that you are proficient before you sign out on leave. Ignorance is no excuse for committing an Honor Violation

6 Charleston Passes (CP) The abuse of this pass bears no different consequences than the misuse of any other official document. As stated on the rear of the pass: “This is an official document. The use of this document constitutes an official statement. The misrepresentation of this card could violate the Cadet Honor Code. “

7 All-Ins Remember when you sign your name as a Division Inspector you are certifying that no Cadets are AWOL unless you placed their name in the AWOL Block “The above signatures mean EVERY ROOM in the company was checked at the final All-In.”

8 Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) What is FERPA? –FERPA is a Federal Statute enacted in 1974 –Compliance is required by all Public Schools by the US Department of Education –Failure to comply with standards could result in the loss of all Federal Funding to institution –All students who attend the Citadel have FERPA rights

9 How FERPA affects the Honor Code All matters pertaining to the investigation, trial, finds, and appeal are protected under the student’s FERPA rights –This is why we can’t announce specifics about Honor Court findings in the Mess Hall Discussion of honor-related matters to those who do not have a legitimate educational Interest will result in disciplinary action

10 So what? Blatant violation of FERPA rights could hurt the school financially (through loss of federal funding and law suits) FERPA rights violations can create grounds for an appeal resulting in honor violators staying at our school.

11 Appeals Process Why are there cadets on campus who have been found in-violation of the Honor Code? Cadets who appeal a guilty verdict remain in good standing with the college until their Honor Board of Review (HBOR) scrutinizes the appeal. If sufficient grounds are found for an appeal, the board will review the entire case and make a recommendation to the President to either affirm or overturn the Honor Court’s ruling President considers appeal and recommendation and makes the final decision

12 How the Appeals Process works When an accused cadet is found in- violation of the Honor Code three options are given to him/her: –Accept the finding and expulsion –Resign from the College: transcript will read “Permitted to Resign” –Appeal

13 What are the Grounds for an Appeal? New evidence, available since the Honor Court hearing, which would indicate the findings of the court are in error Evidence that the cadet’s rights were not protected, jeopardizing that cadet’s right to fair and impartial hearing (FERPA) An error in the trial proceedings of such magnitude as to jeopardize the fairness of the hearing

14 Plagiarism Traditionally, Plagiarism has accounted for a large number of honor accusations Please remember to give credit to the source of your information when you are writing a paper
