COS releases annual violations report

By Ajay Rao | October 3, 1996

The Committee on Standards yesterday released its Annual Report to the Community, which revealed that the number of academic violations decreased from 17 to 14 since the 1993-1994 academic year. Dean of the College Lee Pelton said he feels "the number of academic violations has not really changed from year to year," and that the decrease observed this year is part of the normal fluctuation in total violations. But two of the students who violated the Academic Honor Principle were separated from the College -- a penalty that has not been assessed for the past eight years.
