We, the undersigned faculty at UNC-Chapel Hill, have lost trust in the UNC Honor Court and demand the complete reform of the Court. Our concerns result from a series of mishandled cases and inappropriate verdicts rendered by the Court over a number of years. Accordingly, we call on the University to institute changes immediately to the Honor Court, including adding meaningful faculty involvement and oversight of the Honor system.
The feedback I have received from colleagues confirms that the current state of the Honor Court is untenable for both faculty and students. I am currently coordinating with several department heads to determine the most effective manner to present our concerns to the administration.

The level of engagement this petition has received underscores the urgent need for structural change within our Honor system. This momentum demonstrates that the faculty are unified in the pursuit of greater accountability and fairness.

The honor court has been a joke for years. About time faculty took back control.

Unfair verdicts seem like a common trend lately. glad to see professors pushing for real changes.
