Visiting history professor Cecilia Gaposchkin has been named assistant dean of pre-major advising, a new position created in response to widespread criticism of the current advising system. The announcement comes in the wake of College reports and student complaints about academic advising, including a 2001 report from a committee chaired by first-year dean Gail Zimmerman that recommended creating a director of advising position. Gaposchkin said she is reserving judgement on the current state of pre-major advising until she assumes her role in the spring, but she does see broad problems with it.

Letter to faculty stresses honor policy

By Megan Spillane | March 8, 2004

The Honor Education Committee will distribute a letter to faculty members this week urging them to make clear what they expect from students regarding the Academic Honor Principle. The committee aims to increase general awareness about students' obligations and to highlight some of the Honor Principle's commonly neglected aspects, according to committee member Ali Levine '07. "Our hope is that if professors place more of an emphasis on the Honor Principle in their classes, students will take the Honor Principle more seriously," Levine said. Since students can be found "responsible" or guilty by the Committee on Standards for unintentionally violating the principle, Levine suspects that preemptive discussion about what constitutes a violation may reduce their occurrence. "We hope that through the faculty, we can help students to better understand what the honor principle entails so that in the end we can limit the number of honor principle violations," Levine said. During the 2002-03 academic year, the COS heard 21 cases of alleged academic honor principle violations.
