...DescriptionThe West Point Academy Honor Code states that "A cadet will not lie, cheat, or steal nor tolerate those that do" (President and Fellows of Harvard College, 1981). In 1976 theAcademy and the Honor Code came under scrutiny due to a broad range cheating incidentamongst cadets in an electrical engineering course. In the class of 823 cadets, it is believedthat 300-600 cheated on the assignment. Cheating is a direct violation of the Honor Codeand all those found guilty by the Honor System are subject to expulsion. Because of thecheating incident, the Academy gained tremendous national exposure and publicity. Thecadets caught in the scandal are questioning the Academy, the Honor Code and the Honor System itself. Lt General Sidney Berry, Acting Superintendent of the Academy, must sortthrough all information and satisfy the wishes of Congress, the Department of the Army,alumni, current cadets and the merciless public.DiagnosisThe Academy produces battle-ready offices. Some of the "macro level" stressors that arevisible are; competitive pressures, bureaucratic rules, restrictive untrusting culture, tightcontrols, centralized decision making, lack of participation in decisions, punitive appraisalsystem and physical and mental strain all of which exist at the school (Luthans, 2011).At the center of all the practices at West Point is the Honor Code. A change in the Honor Code would go against the what the Academy had always stood for and would hold futurecadets to lower standards...

...Joining the Global Honors Program at the University of Washington Tacoma, would indefinitely enrich my educational experience and my future in the field of psychology. When I was seven years old my parents had a grusome and hostile divorce. Since I was the only one of my siblings under the age of fourteen at the time, I had no choice but to go back and forth between my parent's homes. They refused to talk to one another and had very different perspectives regarding who I should be, which led to immense confusion in my adolescent years. While in high school, my mother would not drive me to class and my education was devalued. I struggled with my grades, relationships, and personal outlook on life. My decision to enroll in running start at Tacoma Community College was one of the best decisions I've made. I was much more succesful in these courses, and they opened my eyes to a world of possibility. Now, I am pursueing a psychology degree at University of Washington Tacoma with the intention of obtaining a PsyD in the future and becoming a clinical psychologist. During my college career, I have not recieved less than an A in any of my psychology courses.

...A Knack for Excellence Is striving to graduate with Honors really worth the struggle? You might be wondering, is he really taking it there? Well, Yes I am. What if you gave and dedicated your life and soul, solely on achieving this honor and still don’t make it? Yes, I’m sure it looks great on a resume and one may feel like they have accomplished life’s greatest feat, especially when graduating from a Harvard, Yale, Princeton or any other highly-notable University with such prestigious of a honor; but neither life nor success in life is solely characterized by acquiring A’s in school. So is it really worth it, and what does it truly mean to graduate with honors? As the film “With Honors” depicted, for Harvard it meant everything, but he realized the bigger picture in the end. I believe graduating with ‘Honors’ should be considered more than a goal. It should be considered a way of life, a lifestyle so to say. In the film, “With Honors”, ‘Harvard’ was at the mercy of Simon, the ‘Harvard Bum’ who found his thesis paper. Even though Harvard failed to graduate with honors from Harvard, he essentially did one thing right when he chose to chase a dream of graduating with Honors. He set his goals high! He set his eyes on the prize and began a figuratively climb upward the likes of a Mt. Everest; with Mt. Everest being his graduation from Harvard with quote, unquote, honors. Simon taught them that just graduating with a flimsy piece of paper can only get them so far, that...

...significantly to such a "choice." inadequacies in the Honor System, in the Academy environment which was to have supported this System, and in the administration of the EE 304 examination combined to make a cheating incident practically inevitable. A. Honor System Perhaps the most fundamental of the Honor System's inadequacies has been the expansion of the Code well beyond its intended purpose. Cadets have been found guilty for isolated conduct which cannot fairly be characterized as having made them dishonorable. Recently, for example, a cadet who reported himself for stating that he had done 20 sit-ups, when in fact he had done only 18, was found guilty of violating the Honor Code. A similar incident had occurred in 1970. in July of 1974, a new cadet who reported himself for telling his squad leader, who "did not remember the particular incident," that he had shaved, when in fact he had not, was separated. In 1975, a third classman was found guilty by the Cadet Honor Committee of "intentionally deceiving" in that "he wore a second class dress coat to a motion picture" during the week (a regulation prohibited third classmen from attending weeknight movies). If these cases were aberrations, our concerns would not be as great. They are, however, representative of a significant number of the approximately 180 non-EE 304 cases which have resulted in findings of guilt by the respective Cadet Honor Committees during the 1970s. The Honor Code too...

...traditions is the ‘Aggie Honor Code’ which entitles “An Aggie does not lie, cheat, or steal, nor tolerate those who do.” This straight edged message which represents an Aggies honor and respect is written on a plaque which is attached to a statue right outside of the Corps of Cadet headquarters. This statue was donated by Dr. John and Carol Heit, fellow Aggies from the class of ’43. The Aggie Code of Honor statue seizes the attention of every Aggie that walks by it and with the use of pathos, ethos, and logos this statue is able to connect with the emotions of every single Aggie and convey Texas A&M’s six core values. The statue with the help of pathos and the purge of emotions suggests that the Aggie Ring is only attainable if you follow the path of the...

...steal nor tolerate those who do”, reads West Point’s honor code, allegedly violated in 1976. The West Point Cheating Incident revolves around an incident from 1976, where over 100 juniors were alleged to have cheated on an electrical engineering exam. Cheating on an exam can have damning ramifications at any school, but when it comes to West Point; it is a direct violation of the schools highly held honor code. The honor code is a West Point tradition, and has helped mold military leaders with high integrity and strong values. Due to the sheer number of individuals, who were alleged to be involved, and where the scandal was happening, the event garnered national attention. Due to the uproar in the press and across the country, more pressure was placed on General Sidney Berry, Superintendent of the United States Naval Academy by bureaucrats and politicians alike. Diagnosis West Point is not your ordinary school setting. It is a breeding ground for training our nation’s best and brightest future military leaders. In the United States Military, it is imperative for soldiers to lead with character, while remaining calm under fire. It seems West Point, at the time of this event, concerned itself more around punishing for crimes than it did developing character. If West Point was truly interested in developing leaders with high character, it would not utterly dismiss individuals for any perceived violation of the honor code. “[E]ach organization is embedded—more or less—in...

...that does not play by the rules set by the school. There is an established authority structure and an unwritten code among students. The last point is there must be a conflict between said outsider and power structure, ending in either the school being changed by the outsider permanently or the school re-asserting its control, either way a balance of power is again found. Old School's outsider is the main character and unnamed narrator. The schools authority is strict and it has unannounced animosity towards Jewish people. The conflict between Outsider and the schools authority structure comes when the narrator believes he can cheat his way into winning a contest and plagiarizes, breaking one the the schools rules and defying the code of honor that the students follow when in contest with each other. The narrator in Old School is not the traditional outsider character, it is not his pears or the staff that labels him as such. It is himself, he puts the label on himself within his own mind. The narrator has a Jewish background on his fathers side; At his school there is an unspoken infamy for Jewish people. "Yet it seems to me that Jewish boys even the popular ones, [...] had a subtly charges field around them."(pg.60) We know that he feels his background sets him apart, even though nobody knows, from the other boys.
