The United States Department of Education submitted a plan to define the circumstances in which universities are able to divulge confidential information about potentially dangerous students, the Washington Post reported Wednesday. These proposed regulations determine that universities would not face consequences for reporting information on students who pose a potential threat to themselves or others. The new statutes would include the student's parents as people who can receive the confidential information. Currently, to receive federal funding, colleges must adhere to national confidentiality regulations. A panel appointed by the office of the governor of Virginia, however, determined that confusion about these privacy policies led to a miscommunication among Virginia Tech administrators who worked with Seung Hui Cho, the student who killed 33 people at the university last April.

A committee of Hanover residents, including members of the Dresden School Board, reviewed a new honor code written by a group of Hanover High School students and teachers, the Valley News reported yesterday. The committee is in the process of revising the proposed code, having decided not to rewrite it. The students and teachers drafted the new honor code in response to the cheating scandal at Hanover High in which nine students faced criminal charges for breaking into the school and stealing final exams last year. The new code features stricter consequences for cheating and delegates more responsibility to school administrators in choosing a punishment. The committee hopes to finalize the new code before March, when School Board elections will replace some current members.
