Last week's Day of Discourse came under Graduate Student Senate scrutiny by Senate President Dominic Barbato at last night's meeting, despite senate-wide support for the creation of a student honor code.
I felt like it was rather unstructured and not much came as a result from that
Barbato said. He expressed skepticism of the day's achievement, explaining that there was little direction to the meeting and that there were the same topics stated over and over.
The point of the Day of Discourse was to get a diverse group of people from around campus to gather information and send it to the Academic Honesty Oversight Committee, said Michael Mumper, associate provost for Graduate Studies.
I'm still interested in making an honors code for plagiarism he said.
Barbato suggested the creation of a commission consisting of graduate and undergraduate students to create this code, adding that students themselves can create the honor code through senate representation.
