Changes To UVA Honor Policy

(Charlottesville)- The University of Virginia has updated their honor code after nearly 200 years. Since 1842, UVA had a system in place where students who committed lying, cheating or stealing would always face expulsion. Under this new multi-sanction system, a panel will consider students’ circumstances when reviewing their case. Expulsion is not always guaranteed, and there are additional provisions in place to give students time to respond before their trial.
