That is why I disagree with it. It almost draws a conflict because it can almost cause one to be deceived about honesty if the feel that they are protected just because a creed has been developed and signed by their fellow peers. Ryan Hager basically has the same opinion. Whether or not our campus is exactly Christian or not is a whole other debatable issue, but while we are claiming to be, we are carrying the name of Christ, so, therefore, should be practicing honesty without needing an honor code to show for it. It has always been an issue.
Christian campuses aren t the only ones with honor codes, however.
Many other campuses have honor codes, as well, stating that the main purpose is to cultivate an environment where dishonesty is not tolerated among the student body. The ideas are all the same. They have intentions to promote and preserve honesty and integrity. However, an honor code does not exactly promise this. Therefore, rather than just using an honor code as an attempt to create a trustworthy and fair environment, the students and the teachers need to also take the responsibilities into their own hands and not let an honor code replace the teaching of the definition of integrity, honesty and of one s morals.
