College of Social Science
Honor Code

The Honor Code applies to all citizens of the College.

We, the College of Social Science Spartans, in order to

• meet our responsibility to each other within the broader Michigan State University community and to
• align student and faculty professionalism in order to create an atmosphere for free and open exchange of ideas

Adopt this Honor Code to uphold the following values:

• To respect individual and group diversity
  • We have much to learn from one another
• To take pride in the university community
  • This is our home, not only our school
• To work together to uphold the value of excellence
  • We hold ourselves and colleagues to a higher standard
• To take accountability of one’s own actions
  • Our integrity is worth more than our grade
• To ensure that no individual has an unfair academic or personal advantage over another
  • Everyone’s grade must reflect their work not their relationships with faculty or other students

We the faculty, students, and administration of the College of Social Science expect

• that these values will be demonstrated inside and outside of the classroom, and
• will be internalized and upheld in our lives beyond our time at MSU
