It started with a whisper


Hey baby won't you look my way
I can be your new addiction
Hey baby what you gotta say?
All you're giving me is fiction

I'm a sorry sucker and this happens all the time
I found out that everybody talks
Everybody talks, everybody talks

Do you know this song? Do you know that it is true… everybody talks. And faculty talks to me.

In a recent conversation it was shared that a faculty member believes that several of his/her students to have found the answers to their homework on-line. It is further believed, that these students copied the answer verbatim. This is your ONE AND ONLY reminder of the Honor Code. Should this type of conversation come up again, I will take names.

Ut Prosim
The Virginia Tech Honor Code embodies a spirit of mutual trust and intellectual honesty that is central to the very nature of the university, and represents the highest possible expression of shared values among the members of the university community.

The fundamental beliefs underlying and reflected in the Honor Code are

  1. that trust in a person is a positive force in making that person worthy of trust,
  2. that every student has the right to live in an academic environment that is free from the injustices caused by any form of intellectual dishonesty, and
  3. that the honesty and integrity of all members of the university community contribute to its quest for truth.
