School waits for ethics rule Honors code for business students is debated
By Dayana Yochim Kansan staff writer
It may be a year or more before a student honor code is established in the School of Business, a member of the Honor Code Committee said Thursday.
"At this point we have no idea what a realistic time frame would be," said Barbara McCloud, an Overland member of the committee. "and a member of the committee."
"The first thing we have to deal with is education. Through that process we will generate interest and only gain momentum from there."
An honor code is a set of guidelines and rules that establish the standards of student conduct. The code is agreed on by students, who have a moral obligation not to break it.
McCloud and four other Honor Code Committee members Thursday night led an open meeting to determine whether students were interested in establishing an honor code in

the school.
About 20 students attended the meeting. A separate meeting for faculty members will be held if students decide to establish an honor code.
"The next step is to formulate different examples of codes." McCloud said. "We need to get out to the student body and continue to have these forums."
In a prepared statement, Henry Gentry, president of the Minority Business Student Council, said that the current way of dealing with academic misconduct was inefficient.
"The principle duty of the professor is to impart knowledge, not to act as a policeman," Gentry said. "Stopping students from cheating is the ethical responsibility of the students."
He said that an honor code would increase mutual trust between professors and students and that it would give more prestige to the school.
Though most of the students present said that they were in favor of an honor code, they feared that problems could arise if it was not planned carefully.
Mark Heinrich, San Diego graduate student in business, said that he had attended another school with an honor code and that the code was both used properly and abused.
"If you don't allow for a seminar to initiate students into an honor code, it could be harmful," Heinrich said.
"By an honor code, you have to assume that everyone's honest to begin with."
