No studco report

No honor report

Inger Daniels (mathematics dept. rep) received a letter from a graduate student in her department regarding the honor system. The grad prosecuted a student who had been accused of cheating and admitted guilt, however the honor committee declined to sentence the offender under the honor code's "seriousness" clause. The grad deems this to be a serious weakness in the honor system at UVA.
