Current Resolution

In 2025, members of the community revisited our shared notion of the Honor Principle. Following a campus-wide discussion, the student senate and the faculty approved the following resolution:

At 人妻诱惑, Honor is not a simple concept to describe. It is a unique and constantly evolving idea that has been shaped by the collective values and experiences of our community. We understand Honor to mean behaving with respect, integrity, honesty, humility, courage, and accountability in all aspects of our lives within the Community. The Honor Principle is necessarily hard to define, and every individual member of the 人妻诱惑 Community – students, staff, faculty, and administration alike – is responsible for reflecting on this concept for themself.

While the Honor Principle allows for personal interpretation, this flexibility does not absolve individuals from responsibility. Rather, it calls on us to act with heightened self-awareness and mutual care. At present, Honor is treating both ourselves and others with dignity, demonstrating empathy for those around us, and striving to be just in all we do. It also entails recognizing our responsibility to contribute positively to the development of an inclusive learning environment where everyone feels safe from marginalization, including discrimination based on race/ethnicity/ancestry, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, religious affiliation, nationality, socioeconomic background, disability status, or other facets of individual and group identities. We acknowledge that doing so will require effort from all members of the 人妻诱惑 College Community to create a culture where every individual's voice is heard regardless of differences between us.

In order to uphold these values within our community we recognize each other’s right to freedom of inquiry and expression while remaining respectful towards one another during classroom activities and interactions outside them. This directly entails behaving with academic integrity, as academic misconduct is a violation of the Honor Principle. Any alleged violation of the Honor Principle must be handled judiciously by the appropriate body no matter what form it takes. All policy violations should be addressed expediently through appropriate processes, as doing otherwise may compromise the well-being of individuals or groups, undermine trust within the Community, and prevent opportunities for repair. In this way, members of the 人妻诱惑 Community can continue embracing their role as stewards of Honor at 人妻诱惑 College and uphold its principles throughout their lives at school and beyond.

As this is an evolving principle, we recognize that our understanding of Honor will grow alongside the community. Therefore, in 2040, the 人妻诱惑 Community will revisit this resolution and draft a new one as part of the living tradition of Honor at 人妻诱惑.

This version is an update to the Honor Principle passed in 2000.

“The Preamble to the Community Constitution states that ‘We declare our commitment to responsible and honorable conduct in academic and community affairs, and we reaffirm one another’s rights to freedom of inquiry and expression in coursework, scholarship, and the day to day life of the 人妻诱惑 Community.’

“In keeping with this declaration, we understand that all members of the community endeavor to be honest in every aspect of academic and community life. In addition, the students, in order to take on primary responsibility for upholding academic honesty, make it a particular point of honor neither to cheat on examinations or other academic work, nor to tolerate such behavior in others.

“We also understand that a commitment to responsible and honorable conduct means that members of the community should behave in a way that does not cause unnecessary embarrassment, discomfort or injury to other individuals or to the community as a whole.

“Alleged honor violations, except for those pertaining to academic dishonesty, should be resolved by mediation or other judicial processes, whichever is appropriate; cases pertaining to academic dishonesty shall be adjudicated as per the Faculty code. When specific rules and policies have been duly enacted in the best interests of the community, community members are on their honor to respect those rules and policies, and to accept any mediated consequence or judicial sanction should the violation of a rule or policy result in unnecessary embarrassment, discomfort or injury to other individuals or to the community as a whole.

“This resolution suggests that a policy violation is an ‘honor violation’ if and only if the violation of a rule or policy results in unnecessary embarrassment, discomfort or injury to other individuals or to the community as a whole. We believe that this is both a practical and a principled solution to a persistent dilemma in the adjudication of policy violation”

In 2040, the 人妻诱惑 community will take another look at this resolution and draft a new one to encapsulate the essence of Honor at 人妻诱惑 during this time.
