Students voted for a second time yesterday on an Honor Code, drafted by the College Council, that would require incoming students to sign a Code of Conduct. The results of the first vote, which was held Thursday, were never released due to a faulty link on the online voting booth. The results of yesterday's vote will be released at midnight tonight. If the Honor Code passes, the faculty must also approve it.

"There was a link on the voting page that was supposed to go to actual text of the Honor Code, but this link did not work," said Ryan Park '05, a member of the College Council and AAS President.

AAS Senator Mihailis Diamantis '04, another member of the College Council, explained that many students complained about the problem. "The decision to withhold the results was made because we wanted the referendum to be as transparent and unobjectionable as possible," he said. "We wanted to make sure that ... we could have a definite approval or rejection of the Honor Code."

The College Council spent a lot of time on the proposed Honor Code.

According to senator John Lian '06, the College Council held a meeting with deans from the other colleges in the five-college consortium to discuss the impact of an Honor Code.

The Honor Code was a paramount issue of interest this year. "At the beginning of this academic year, the [College Council] agreed to dedicate its year to exploring potential remedies to cheating and plagiarism," said Park.
