CONFIDENTIALITY CREED
I have participated and completed the training
that prepares me to be a member of the Honor Council (HC) and Honor & Integrity Peer Educators (HIPE). I understand that I assume the following
responsibilities
as a member of the HC:
-
As a member of the HC and HIPE, I will respect
students' rights to privacy and avoid unwarranted disclosures of confidential
information.
- As a member of the HC and HIPE, I will have access
to details about Honor & Integrity System cases including names, addresses, and student
ID numbers. I will not share these pieces of information or any other details
regarding incidents I review with anyone outside the case.
- As a member of the HC and HIPE, I understand that
I can only share the information in a case file with appropriate personnel--Honor & Integrity System staff, case investigators, hearing panelists, HIPE advisors involved
in the case.
- As a member of the HC and HIPE, I understand that
I am responsible for securing the safety and confidentiality of written (or
email) information when it is in my possession.
- As a member of the HC and HIPE, if I feel a student's
personal safety is in jeopardy, I will break confidentiality and inform the
Honor & Integrity System staff.
- To role model the fundamental values of academic integrity, whether in
teaching (as a faculty member) or in learning (as a student).
- To inform the Director of the Honor & Integrity System immediately if I believe I may
be biased or have a conflict of interest in any given Honor & Integrity System case.
