Mission  \nThe mission of the California Institute of Technology is to expand human knowledge and benefit society through research integrated with education. We investigate the most challenging, fundamental problems in science and technology in a singularly collegial, interdisciplinary atmosphere, while educating outstanding students to become creative members of society.  \nII.  Caltech Core Values  \n• Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion  \n• Freedom of Expression  \n• Honor Code  \nIII.  Honor Code  \n“No member of the Caltech community shall take unfair advantage of any other member of the Caltech community.”  \nIV.  Philosophy of the Honor Code System  \nThe Honor Code allows students the trust and freedom that honesty merits. It states simply that “No member of the Caltech community shall take unfair advantage of anyother member of the Caltech community.” It is not restricted to transactions of a purely academic nature between students and faculty.  \nThe Honor Code allows students and faculty an unusual level of trust in one another and affords students uncommon opportunities. For example, exam proctoring is discouraged under current faculty regulations, because faculty simply expect students to follow the Honor Code. Students assume and expect a deep level of trust with one another in academic, residential, and co-curricular spaces because of the Honor Code.  \nIt must be stressed that responsibility for the preservation of the Honor System lies with each individual student, and each new generation of students. It requires us to consider any possible consequences of our own actions: Does it impact another community member, and how? The key words are “unfair advantage.” To not take unfair advantage, it is often sufficient to simply employ common sense and show respect for others. But there are times when distinguishing fair and unfair courses of action requires a considerable amount of thought. Failure to realize the consequences of a course of action does not justify it.  \nThe rewards of life under the Honor System are considerable. The responsibilities at times are equally considerable, but it is through such challenges that we grow our individual character and integrity. These obligations have been met successfully in the past, and only we can ensure that they will continue to be met.  \nV.  Scope of the Honor Code and Honor Code Handbook  \nThe Honor Code and Honor Code Handbook apply to the conduct of individual undergraduate students, student organizations, student groups, and houses whether the alleged behavior occurred on or off campus. The individual undergraduate student, student organization, student group, or house implicated in allegations of misconduct described in the Honor Code Handbook are referred to as “respondents.”  \nThe processes described in the Honor Code Handbook may be initiated when a respondent is charged with conduct that potentially violates both civil/criminal law and Institute policy, without regard to pending litigation in court or criminal arrest and prosecution. This includes instances where a current student is charged with serious violations of civil or criminal law, regardless of when or where that violation occurred. Institute resolution processes may be carried out prior to, simultaneously with, or following criminal proceedings off campus.  \nDeterminations made and sanctions imposed under the Honor Code Handbook will not be subject to change because criminal charges arising out of the same facts were dismissed, reduced, or resolved in favor of or against the criminal law defendant.  \nVI.  Reasonable Accommodations for Students with Disabilities  \nAny student with a disability involved in any process outlined in the Honor Code Handbook has the right to request reasonable accommodation in order to ensure their full and equal participation in the process. Students wishing to request reasonable accommodations should make those requests direct","cbCaifcBigA42Nrh","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifcBigA42Nrh","pdf",310539,16,"English","# Mission\n# Caltech Core Values\n# Honor Code\n## Philosophy of the Honor Code System\n# Scope of the Honor Code and Honor Code Handbook\n## Reasonable Accommodations for Students with Disabilities\n# Rights and Responsibilities\n## Rights of Respondents","[{\"question\":\"What is the core statement of the Caltech Honor Code?\",\"answer\":\"The Honor Code states that no member of the Caltech community shall take unfair advantage of any other member.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the Honor Code apply to misconduct allegations and respondents?\",\"answer\":\"It applies to conduct of individual undergraduate students, student organizations, student groups, and houses, whether alleged to occur on or off campus, and it refers to those implicated as “respondents.”\"},{\"question\":\"What rights do respondents have under the Honor Code process?\",\"answer\":\"Respondents are presumed not responsible until found in violation, receive written notice of charges and allegations, get information on interview or hearing details, and have the right to an advisor who must be a member of the Caltech community (not an attorney).\"}]","Caltech Honor Code Handbook - 2025-26 Academic Year | PDF",1790051434]
