Facts

The UNI faculty senate approved an honor system for management of academic dishonesty in April of 2006. Despite approval, upper administration of the university, at the time, refused to promulgate the policy. The honor system that had been approved by the senate was a culmination of efforts that cut across the university community, including faculty, student leadership, and administrative staff. At the February 12, 2018 senate meeting, Faculty Chair Kidd, in his opening remarks, discussed the concern of students on campus regarding the unfair advantage students who cheat gain over honest students. I reminded the senate that an honor system designed to address and enhance the culture of academic honesty/dishonesty for the UNI campus had been approved years earlier, but had been "killed" by upper administration. At the behest of Provost Wolpart, I am kindly requesting that the senate reconsider the 2006 honor system, which is attached.
