NEWS: News & Notes: Harvard Committee on Academic Integrity proposed Honor Code

By DAILY PRINCETONIAN STAFFA Harvard College committee has proposed a five-point honor code and the creation of a Student-Faculty Judicial Board that would become the sole body to handle academic dishonesty cases, The Harvard Crimson reported. For the first time in Harvard’s history, the board would give students a role in adjudicating cases of academic dishonesty.The proposal, which was scheduled to be delivered formally to Harvard faculty on Tuesday, was drafted by the Committee on Academic Integrity, a body created in fall 2010 that includes students, faculty and administrators.The announcement comes eight months after news broke of a cheating scandal in which roughly 125 students in the government department’s “Introduction to Congress” course were accused of inappropriately collaborating on the course’s take-home final exam.

Homeless

Two weeks ago, I was sprawled over a horribly uncomfortable black chair in some terminal of Newark Liberty International Airport, ignoring the malevolent glances of travelers stepping over my legs and waiting for the harassed United Airlines desk attendant to tell me just how delayed my flight was going to be.

The few, the proud, the artsy?
