The Graduate Student Council addressed a new bylaw impacting the Honor Code, elected an interim councilor and approved new funding requests during a meeting on Tuesday.
President Tessier-Lavigne offered the final stamp of approval for proposed changes to the Honor Code, including a study into proctoring. The changes would supersede the Faculty Senate’s previous motion permitting the implementation of full-scale proctoring in the fall. ChatGPT was also debated at the meeting.
The charter will apply to all student discipline cases filed with the Office of Community Standards on or after May 2, while any case filed before then will continue to be processed under the Student Judicial Charter of 1997. According to the Committee of 12, which researched student discipline at Stanford in recent years and proposed the charter, the new charter has multiple tiers and includes fewer instances of criminalistic language.
