Double-Hoo here. The UVa Honor Code [b]back years ago [/b]largely was "honored" by violating it - from what I observed over almost a decade. Faculty often (not always) had given up on the system and just assigned F or zero when they detected cheating.

Back then, the single sanction (expulsion) meant very few actually were punished. Usually, a violation would get categorized as "not serious enough" and the person would receive no punishment from the Honor Committee.

More recently, there were changes and they have a range of sanctions available.  Unclear to me if that improved the outcomes or not. [/quote]

Can't speak to that many years back. Current system works well. Students involved are highly respected on campus. Trials are well-done but discreet. Law students are often involved. Sanctions seem appropriate[/quote]
