The Academic Integrity Working Group plans to study the lack of academic dishonesty self-reporting by students this winter.
"It is exceedingly strange," writes professor David Palumbo-Liu, "that Stanford puts in place a Civic, Liberal, and Global Education (COLLEGE) curriculum extolling the virtues of citizenship and democracy, and then the Faculty Senate brazenly acts to disenfranchise the undergraduate members of its community and squelch a legitimate democratic vote."
At its Thursday meeting, the Faculty Senate unilaterally approved revisions to the Honor Code that would explicitly allow exam proctoring. Their action marks the end to the over 102-year precedent of “shared governance” on academic integrity between Stanford faculty and students by circumventing a student vote on the matter.
