A Matter of Honor

This article reviews some of the opinions and repercussions of breaking honor code in regard to academic settings. Many students believe the honor code to be of most importance and have voted in its favor. This is, as Abramson points out, due to the concern with students cheating and not actually earning the grades they are given. Abiding by the honor code however, is more than just getting a decent grade in a difficult class. It is upholding one's own morals in that students should be held accountable when they are morally incorrect. I, along with a majority of college students, would readily vote in favor of maintaining a strict honor code because it keeps students responsible for themselves and their own works.
