  1. Honor 2-1 Honor in Everyday Life Current As Of: 10/14/2013

  2. Purpose • Review • Special Orders/Special Leave • Charleston Passes • Overnight/Weekend Signup • Honor Committee Officers • FERPA and the Honor System • Appeals Process • Honor Statistics • Changes to Punishments

  3. Honor as a Junior • Juniors, being the back bone of the corps have the responsibility to demonstrate and teach the lower classes about honor in various ways. • JOD/Weekend Duty • Company leadership • In the classroom (set the example)

  4. Special Orders • Once the activity that you are on Special Orders/Leave has completed, you must return to campus immediately • You are not allowed to take General leave in conjunction with Special Orders/Leave if you have prior obligations (Class, Punishments, etc)

  5. Overnight/Weekend Sheets and Online Sign out “My signature below certifies that I have the required leave available and I must be Academic, Conduct, Physically Proficient as of the date and time I sign out on leave.” Ensure that you are proficient before you sign out on leave. Ignorance is no excuse for committing an Honor Violation

  6. Charleston Passes • The abuse of this pass bears no different consequences than the misuse of any other official document. As stated on the rear of the pass: • “This is an official document. The use of this document constitutes an official statement. The misrepresentation of this card could violate the Cadet Honor Code. “

  7. All Ins • Remember when you sign your name as a Division Inspector you are certifying that no Cadets are AWOL unless you placed their name in the AWOL Block • “The above signatures mean EVERY ROOM in the company was checked at the final All-In.”

Col Hipps Vice-Chairman for Investigation Supervises the Investigation process Secretary Accounts for the records of Honor Courts C/ Maj Bernard C/ Maj Rhoden

  9. Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) • What is FERPA? • FERPA is a Federal Statute enacted in 1974 • Compliance is required by all Public Schools by the US Department of Education • Failure to comply with standards could result in the loss of all Federal Funding to institution • All students who attend the Citadel have FERPA rights

  10. How FERPA affects the Honor Code • All matters pertaining to the investigation, trial, finds, and appeal are protected under the student’s FERPA rights • This is why we can’t announce specifics about Honor Court findings in the Mess Hall • Discussion of honor-related matters to those who do not have a Legitimate Educational Interest will result in disciplinary action

  11. Why FERPA is Important • Blatant violation of FERPA rights could hurt the school financially (through loss of federal funding and law suits) • FERPA rights violations can create grounds for an appeal resulting in honor violators staying at our school

  12. Appeals Process • Why are there cadets on campus who have been found in-violation of the Honor Code? • Cadets who appeal a guilty verdict remain in good standing with the college until their Honor board of Review scrutinizes the appeal. If sufficient grounds are found for an appeal, the board will review the entire case and make a recommendation to the President to either affirm or overturn the Honor Court’s ruling • President considers appeal and recommendation and makes the final decision

  13. How the Appeals Process works • When an accused cadet is found in-violation of the Honor Code three options are given to him/her: • Accept the finding and expulsion • Resign from the College: transcript will read “Permitted to Resign” • Appeal

  14. Grounds for Appeal • New evidence, available since the Honor Court hearing, which would indicate the findings of the court are in error • Evidence that the cadet’s rights were not protected, jeopardizing that cadet’s right to fair and impartial hearing (FERPA) • An error in the trial proceedings of such magnitude as to jeopardize the fairness of the hearing

  15. Honor Board of Review • Consists of three voting members from the College Faculty and Staff • A Vice President • A representative of the Commandant’s Office • A department head Also includes non-voting cadet advisor from the Honor Committee (usually a battalion honor representative)

  19. Plagiarism • Plagiarism has accounted for a large number of honor accusations in the past few months • Please remember to give credit to the source of your information when you are writing a paper

  20. Changes to Punishment System • Your signature on punishment sheets signifies that you served the punishment correctly. Signing for a punishment that was not served correctly constitutes lying! • It is the weekend duty team’s responsibility to oversee punishments by: • holding formations hourly in front of the letter for those serving cons, to take accountability and inspect uniforms • Checking rooms of those serving cons at least once every hour • Even though it is the duty team’s responsibility to oversee punishments, you are still responsible for your conduct.

  21. Changes to Punishment System • The regulations regarding the proper serving of a punishment have been added to the top of the punishment sheets to avoid confusion. • The improper punishment pull has been removed from the blue book. Failure to serve a punishment will result in a loss of credit, but no additional punishments will be added. • For further information see reference the blue book or your company honor rep.

  22. Cons The Blue Book reads as follows: • A confinement is a 50‑minute period during which confined cadets, in duty uniform with white waist belt, are required to remain in their room, which is maintained in MRI Order. • At the beginning of the first confinement period, and after each confinement served, each confined cadet reports to the formation at the base of the company letter to be inspected. At the end of the period, the cadet signs the confinement sheet. A cadet’s signature on the confinement sheet indicates understanding of confinement’s status and that he/she was sitting punishment in their room during the previous confinement period, unless excused by a proper authority. • Confined cadets are not authorized visitors and will display CC Form 15 on their door which says “CONFINEMENT.”The form is available at: http://www.citadel.edu/root/commandant- administration/commandant-administration-cc-forms.52 • Confinements are served on Wednesday at 1500, 1600, and 1700; on Friday at 1900, 2000, and 2100; and on Saturday at 1400, 1500, 1600, 1900, 2000, and 2 100.

In the case of a confinement being improperly served, the weekend duty team member may make a spot correction or mark NC (no credit) on the confinement’s sheet. • NC- Should the cadet fail to serve punishment, the cadet’s punishment slot should be marked NC, and he/she may receive a performance report.
