Honor Code
As a Meigs student, it is my responsibility to be academically honest at all times. I understand that cheating, dishonesty, and the misuse of the work of others and falsely claiming it as my own, constitute behavior that is contrary to the sense of who we are as a community.
I understand that academic dishonesty is not only disrespectful to our academic community as a whole, but also unfair to individiuals in our community who work diligently and honestly to complete assignments in a proper mannerii. At Meigs, we declare that cheating and dishonesty in any form is inconsistent with our values and aspirations, and in particular, the following forms of behavior will not be tolerated at our school:
described forms of dishonesty is equally guilty of the kind of behavior that we as a community will not tolerate. We acknowledge that we as students have unique opportunities to discourage, disrupt, and diminish acts of cheating and other forms of dishonesty as we observe or learn of them, and we understand that the faculty and administration of Meigs are committed to protect and ensure the confidentiality of any conversations we may have with them about our observations or awareness of acts of dishonesty.
