development meetings are held for new members in the fall and as new members are appointed.
- respond quickly--(honor@ksu.edu) when an Honor & Integrity System staff person requests information,
an indication of availability for case investigations or hearing panels, or a vote
on Honor Council business.
- serve as an educator--informing students and faculty about the K-State Honor & Integrity System and its
mission and policies; promoting academic integrity on campus.
