The tour guides gave examples of how you could leave your backpack in the library and come back without it being stolen. Or one incident where someone found a ten dollar bill on the ground and tacked it to a bulletin board for the owner to retrieve it.

What kind of kid would be worried about a place that values honor and integrity?

Lol this is so naive. Bad stuff happens everywhere regardless and of an “honor code”. But being judged by your equally immature peers when you’re growing up is a great way to favor the already privileged and protected and increase suicide in an already anxious and depressed generation.

How are kids supposed to learn how to handle adult responsibilities if they are not given any?
I assume there are adults nearby if any abuses are in the offing.

Have you heard how the FACULTY and ADMINISTRATORS given such responsibilities handle them?
See: the Hunting Ground.

(Maybe you are afraid that your donations and connections are less likely to sway college students than college administrators, should Larlo get himself into hot water?)

My kid's SLAC is like this without an honor code that they advertise heavily. (There's no doubt some sort of honor code, but I don't think it's highlighted the way some schools highlight theirs.)

A kid who doesn’t like being unjustly accused or expelled in college. A kid who doesn’t want to be bullied in some “student court.”

Hopefully most colleges will get the hint post-COVID that they’re in no position to piss off their customers.

Most schools don't have an honor code.

UVA students voted to make the honor code less severe in the last year or so. Some alumni are furious.

I hate the these too, OP. Judgment by their peers is just one more way popular kids escape consequences while the insecure and depressed get penalized.

UVa is notorious for this.

Are you a high school student bored on spring break?

Any public university can be taken to court if their actions violate due process, honor code or not. If they are really out side of the bounds, you can sue individual members. That being said, I wouldn't worry

LOL

NOTE: My child has no intention to cheat, nor do I have any reason to believe they would.

However, there’s been some crazy stories over the years out of UVA, Haverford & Rice in particular of students being accused of cheating without evidence and apparently put “on trial” by their peers.

Which schools don’t do that?
