Honor Code Task Force Mandate motion for GSA

home

The Honor Code Task Force offers the following motion to the Graduate Student Association:

Whereas, concerns about the adequacy and efficacy of the UNCW Honor Code have been expressed by members of the UNCW academic community; and

Whereas, Provost Hosier, in consultation with Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs Leonard, Faculty Senate President Spaulding, SGA president Thorpe, and GSA president Mason, has appointed a student-faculty Honor Code Task Force to examine our current policies on academic honesty, to consult widely with the academic community, and to propose any recommendations to the academic community; and

Whereas, the Honor Code Task Force has met and produced a preliminary report; and

Whereas, the Honor Code Task Force believes that any establishment, consideration, or revision of an honor code must be broadly participatory, involving all affected campus constituencies; and

Whereas, the Honor Code Task Force is seeking a mandate for its mission from all of those constituencies; therefore,

Be it resolved, that the Graduate Student Association expresses its support for the mission of the Honor Code Task Force, with the understanding that the Task Force will report to GSA the course of its deliberations and will submit any recommendations and proposals to GSA for approval.
