Achieving Excellence in the Education of Principled Leaders Prepared by the 2006 Honor CommitteeAs of 31 October 2005 Case Study 1 Cadet A lived in the Trailers during the overflow period. Around 2430 during general leave Cadet A received a phone call from her boyfriend. He said that he needed to speak with her right away in private and that he was outside the Barracks. Cadet A decided to bring him into her room. As they were talking Cadet A learned that her boyfriends’ parents had just died a few hours ago. Cadet A began consoling him as someone knocked on the door and said “All Clear”. Cadet A hurried to the door and met the cadet, who was the division inspector, doing All-ins. The Division Inspector asked the cadet if there was anyone else in the room, because he had heard two voices. Cadet A responded that She was the only one in the room and shut the door. Cadet A then continued to console her boyfriend and then let him head home when she thought he was capable. Cadet A then went to confront the division inspector, told him what happened and that she didn’t want to tell him someone was in the room because of her boyfriends situation. Did Cadet A commit an Honor Violation? As of 31 October 2005

Achieving Excellence in the Education of Principled Leaders Prepared by the 2006 Honor CommitteeAs of 31 October 2005 Case Study 1 Review Did Cadet A commit an Honor Violation? Yes, Cadet A lied to the Division Inspector doing All- ins when she was asked if there was someone else in the room and she responded that there was not. Did Cadet A have other options besides lying? Yes, Cadet A was in a difficult situation but there were a lot of choices Cadet A could’ve made besides sacrificing her honor. What would you have done? As of 31 October 2005

Achieving Excellence in the Education of Principled Leaders Prepared by the 2006 Honor CommitteeAs of 31 October 2005 Case Study 2 Cadet D was a sophomore on Spring Furlough. He visited a Bar with a couple of friends who were all over the age of 21 years of age. Not wanting to feel left out, Cadet D used the Fake ID he had to get into the bar. Cadet D figured that because he was on Furlough the Honor Code did not apply to his actions. Did Cadet D commit an Honor Violation? As of 31 October 2005

Achieving Excellence in the Education of Principled Leaders Prepared by the 2006 Honor CommitteeAs of 31 October 2005 Case Study Review Yes, Cadet D committed the Honor Violation of Lying. Using a Fake ID is an Honor Violation because its use obtains the user benefits that would not be ordinarily obtained without the use of the ID. Cadet D’s assumption that it would not be an Honor Violation because he was on Spring Furlough was incorrect. All cadets are subject to the Honor Code at all periods during the school year.
