The Honor Code Council
    The Honor Code Council (hereinafter the "Council") shall consist of six faculty members and twelve students. Each year's class shall be represented by three students. These students shall be nominated by the Medical Center Student Council in consultation with the Council and approved by the dean. The faculty shall be selected by the Chair of the Medical Student Evaluation Committee [MSEC] and approved by the dean. The Chair of the Council, who shall be a member of the faculty, shall be appointed by the dean. To ensure continuity, faculty and Chair terms of appointment will be three years and staggered, with the possibility of two contiguous terms of appointment. Students will be encouraged to renominate their representative members.
    Members of the Council shall serve as reference persons for students and faculty. Furthermore, the Council as a whole shall be charged with the continued monitoring of the Honor Code system. It shall review all cases of alleged Honor Code violations that have been submitted to a Subcommittee on Professional Comportment in order to educate the academic community following the resolution of each case. It shall meet periodically during the academic year and report its findings to the MSEC, including suggested amendments to the Honor Code. Members of the Council shall serve on a Subcommittee on Professional Comportment convened as an Honor Code Committee either to review an alleged violation of the Honor Code or to recommend sanctions in established cases of Honor Code violation.
