Princeton University has announced constitution of a new committee to reconcile recommendations made by the Disciplinary Review Committee and the Honor System Review Committee. To improve academic integrity, the entity will consider proposals and a range of other recommendations made by the two committees.
The new Faculty-Student Academic Integrity Report Reconciliation committee will include students, faculty and administrators.
The latest move comes after the school’s Disciplinary Review Committee and Honor System Review Committee met last year to evaluate undergraduate disciplinary system which governs students personal conduct and academic work along with other procedures and policies.
“The Honor System Review Committee also considered three student referenda to alter Honor Code penalties and violations. In March, the committee recommended against the referenda. The Faculty Committee on Examinations and Standing has concurred, and the Honor Code referenda posed by the Undergraduate Student Government will not move forward,” Princeton said in a release.
The new reconciliation committee will submit its recommendations to the university officials, who will decide whether they should be referred to the faculty committee for discussion or not.
