It acts similar to a jury in violation hearings. Nelson said. "Students' rights are first priority with this body." she said, adding that the JMU Honor Council is the exception in Virginia colleges rather than the rule. Honor Council violations include plagiarism, falsifying class attendance or registration, cheating or using unauthorized ma terials during an examination. The matters are investigated by student coordinators Michelle DeYoung and David Hayes, Nelson said." The coordinators try to produce enough evidence to warrant a hearing, she noted. Dr. David Barger, university Honor Council coordinator, overses the in- vestigation to prevent violation of the student's rights. If a hearing is warranted, the student may ° be represented in the hearing by a student advocate or an at- torney. Nelson said. Hayes and DeYoung serve as the prosecution. A panel of four students and four faculty are randomly selected from the 36-member council to decide the case. —H. -,. *• Hie American Cancer Society thanks you. Your employees thank you. !f.
