  2. Honor Cases (past 4 yrs)

  3. Case Processing Times

  4. Honor Case Processing • Clarifications • Informal Clarification: if anyone suspects an honor violation, they are required to conduct an informal clarification (they become the initiator) • If the initiator’s conscious is clear, no further action is required • If the initiator’s conscious is not clear, a formal clarification is conducted • Formal Clarification: the respondent’s Primary Honor Officer conducts the formal clarification • If all members agree no honor violation occurred, no further action is required • If any member still suspects an honor violation occurred, the case is “called-in” to CWCH

  5. Case Processing “Call-in” to violation/no-violation

  6. Case Determination • Cadet Honor Officers conduct investigations • Collect MFRs from initiator, respondent, witnesses • Serve the respondent with a Letter of Notification (includes all respondent rights and the written allegation) • Case reviewed by Group Honor & Wing Honor Chairs & Director of Honor • Determine if the allegation is valid and if substantial evidence of a violation is present

  7. Violation Determination • If the respondent denies the allegation their case is seen before a Wing Honor Board (WHB) • 6 of 9 cadets must be convinced beyond a reasonable doubt that both act/intent occurred • If found in violation, a WHB Sanction Recommendation Panel (3 Honor Cadets) recommends a sanction (the presumptive sanction is disenrollment) • If found not in violation, no further action required. However, the WHB Chairman may recommend to the AOC that the respondent be placed in the Honor Mentorship program • If the respondent admits to the allegation their case is seen before a Cadet Sanction Recommendation Panel (3 Honor Cadets) • The violation is validated • A sanction is recommended based on the four factors (Time under the code, Egregiousness, Forthrightness, Type of Report)

  8. Case ProcessingViolation to final decision

  9. Sanctions Determination • Once found in violation, the respondent is no longer a “Cadet in Good Standing” • Removal of all rank, academic year and summer leadership positions, all Academy representation (i.e. sports, clubs, etc.), merit lists, restricted to the base, loss of privileges: wearing of civilian clothes, audio/video for entertainment • Sanction recommendations (CSRP/BSRP Chair, CS/CC, AOC, GP AOC, CWCH) and the case file are submitted to USAFA/CW for a sanctions determination • USAFA/CW has two options: • Recommend suspended disenrollment and place the respondent in Honor Remediation (Probation or Rehabilitation) • The respondent begins a 3 month or 6 month program • Recommend disenrollment to USAFA/CC • The respondent may either resign (RILO) or appeal

  10.
