MMI Standard Operating Procedures: Honor & Respect System05/2019CHAPTER 1: THE HONOR CONCEPT“A cadet will not lie, cheat, or steal.”(or tolerate those who do)1. THE HONOR CONCEPTMMI Cadets are persons of integrity; they strive to choose the harder right instead of theeasier wrong and are never content with a half-truth when the whole can be won. To be aleader, one must be completely trustworthy, for leadership is built on trust, and trust is builton honor.2. PURPOSEThe purpose of the Marion Military Institute Corps of Cadets is to develop leaders ofexemplary character. The Corps’ Honor Code is intended to foster a commitment to themoral and ethical excellence fundamental to that leadership development.3. THE HONOR OATHBy taking the Honor Oath, Cadets accept the responsibility to live by and uphold the HonorCode and will be held accountable for violating any precepts of the Honor Code.“I will embrace the ideals of truthfulness, fairness and respect for myself and others.Likewise, I resolve to do the right thing daily as a means to live an honorable life, (so helpme God).”4. GOALS OF THE CADET HONOR CODEThe goals of the Cadet Honor Code are that cadets: Learn and practice the essential leader responsibilities of establishing a healthy ethicalclimate within their organizations and lives. Develop an understanding of the importance of integrity as an essential aspect ofleadership. Foster a desire to maintain an honorable lifestyle in the Spirit of the Code. Achieve the level of commitment to honorable conduct necessary to prepare them forgreater challenges to their integrity throughout a lifetime of service. Develop the character required of those who voluntarily take full responsibility for theirdecision and actions.3
MMI Standard Operating Procedures: Honor & Respect System 05/2019Be moral-ethical examples worthy of emulation.5. PRECEPTSa. The Cadet Honor Code represents the minimum ethical standard to which all cadets areexpected to adhere. The Corps operates under the assumption that those who enter ithave already been instilled with a basic set of core values. It is expected that all cadetswill strive to live far above the minimum ethical standard defined by the Cadet HonorCode, that each cadet will develop a high personal sense of honor within the Spirit of theCode, and that a cadet’s statements and actions must always represent the complete truthand an adherence to the Spirit of the Honor code and not just the letter of the law.b. The code is expressed as a series of prohibitions: “A cadet will not lie, cheat or steal”. Itis a simple standard to live by, yet it demands strict compliance. Cadets should always bestriving to achieve the highest standard of ethical performance. The essence of the code isthat each cadet must commit themselves to a constant effort to live above the commonlevel of life, far exceeding the minimum standard of ethical behavior.c. To ensure the minimum standard of the Cadet Honor Code is maintained, enforcementand education are integral parts of the Honor System. Together, these challenge thecadets to live above the Code and allow the Code to achieve its ultimate objective –ensuring that graduates of Marion Military Institute’s Corps of Cadets are honorablewomen and men who are leaders of character.6. THE SPIRIT OF THE HONOR CODEa. To understand the ideal that cadets should strive for, they must embrace the “Spirit ofthe Code”. This spirit marks true leaders of character and goes beyond the simpleadherence to rules. The Spirit of the Code comes from deep within truly honorablemen and women through their expressed actions and demonstrated integrity. Tothose who accept and adhere to the Spirit of the Code, it is a way of life, not a laundrylist of restrictions.b. Cadets of integrity strive to live by the Spirit of the Code. For any action, they willalways ask themselves if it is the right thing to do.c. This concept embodies the meaning of each of the tenets of the Code itself:i. The Spirit of the Code embraces truthfulness in all its aspects. Cadets tell thetruth and ensure the full truth is known. Cadets do not lie.ii. The Spirit of the Code calls for complete fairness in all relationships. Cadetsensure that work submitted as their own is their own, and that assistancereceived from any other source is authorized and properly documented.Cadets do not cheat.4
MMI Standard Operating Procedures: Honor & Respect System05/2019iii. The Spirit of the Code requires respect for other people and their property.Cadets do not steal.iv. The Spirit of the Code demands that ethical standards and personalcommitments be maintained at all times to ensure an ethical environmentexists. Cadets do not tolerate or promote violations of the Code. A cadet’sfirst loyalty is to maintaining the Honor Code, and this loyalty transcends unit,class or friendship.v. Cadets exemplify the Spirit of the Code by exceeding the minimum standards,holding the code as the standard to be maintained and not as a system oflimitations or restrictions.7. THE TENETS OF THE CODEa. To violate the Honor Code, the accused cadet must have lied, cheated, stolen, attemptedto do so, or tolerated such action on the part of another cadet. These actions apply bothon and off duty and are not constrained by any geographical or school boundaries. Acadet who truly embraces the Spirit of the Code will always maintain proper demeanorand professionalism. Intoxication or other outside influences are not excuses forunethical or dishonorable conduct or actions.b. LYING. Lying is making a false statement in any format (oral, written, or by gesture)with the intent to deceive or mislead. A cadet’s word is a pledge that his/her statementsare the truth without reservation. Oral or written reports, required within the context ofcadet management and accountability, are official statements and must be complete andaccurate. Lying includes employing technicalities, or making evasive or misleadingstatements to conceal guilt. Removing or altering official records is considered a form oflying under the Code. Other forms of lying may include obtaining leave authorization onfalse pretenses, signing out to a false location, knowingly signing in or out with anincorrect time, signing in for another cadet, or possession of false identification. It ispossible to make a false statement in haste and without premeditation or thought. If acadet makes such a statement, he/she must immediately correct the mistake. Suchresponses are considered “pop off” answers and, if immediately corrected, are normallyexcused. Likewise, reports or statements made in error and realized later to be false areexcusable only if corrected in a timely manner upon realization of the error. To let amistake go uncorrected is to allow a false statement to stand as the truth and is an honorviolation.c. CHEATING. Cheating is attempting or aiding in the attempt to receive undeservedcredit or to gain unfair advantage. It is to defraud or mislead. Any work done for a grademust be done without another person’s help unless specifically authorized by theinstructor. A cadet must never copy another cadet’s work or compare answers during agraded exercise. Such exercises may include homework, laboratory reports, essays, or5
MMI Standard Operating Procedures: Honor & Respect System05/2019any other oral or written work submitted for grade. Cheating is also having priorknowledge of examination questions by means not sanctioned by the instructor so as togive unwarranted advantage over other classmates. In writing essays and themes, it isoften necessary to use the ideas and words of others. Plagiarism is the use of ideas orwords of another as one’s own without giving the original source of the idea or writingcredit. The intent to deceive is assumed by the act of plagiarism and is a violation of theCode.d. STEALING. Stealing is the taking or wrongful possession of property without theknowledge or consent of the owner. Stealing involves the intent to permanently deprivethe owner of his/her property. The intention to return property borrowed without theowner’s knowledge is difficult to prove. Cadets are not to borrow items withoutpermission of the owner. The unauthorized use of school or another’s equipment such astelephones, copy machines, computers, or vehicles may be considered stealing.e. ETHIC OF NON-TOLERATION. Cadets who observe a possible honor violationshould approach the suspected violator and ask for an explanation. If it is determined acadet may have committed a violation of the Honor Code, the incident should be reportedto any Honor Council member for investigation. Cadets can also report suspectedviolations to the Honor Council Advisor, Commandant of Cadets and/or TACs.f. ENTRAPMENT AND SELF-INCRIMINATION. No cadet or member of the MMIfaculty or staff will employ the Honor Code in such a manner as to entrap or force a cadetinto an admission of guilt. Cadets in doubt as to the interpretation of any specificrequirement of the Honor Code or its application in a particular circumstance are to seekclarification from the Cadet Honor Council Advisor.8. INTENT. An important element of the Honor Code is intent. Cadets who violate the HonorCode have the necessary state of mind - the intent to deceive, the intent to gain unfairadvantage, the intent to deprive, or the intent to wrongfully permit. If the intent to committhe act is present, then the fact that may fail in their attempt does not exonerate them. Theconcept of intent is not meant to “narrow” the scope of an alleged honor violation, butinstead to “expand” it to include consideration of how the act, successful or not, revealsintent to violate the code and gain an unfair advantage.9. REGULATIONS AND HONOR.a. Do not confuse the two separate and distinct standards comprised in the Honor Code andthe MMI Corps of Cadets Rules and Regulations. The Honor Code represents theminimum ethical standard by which all cadets are expected to conduct themselves.6
MMI Standard Operating Procedures: Honor & Respect System05/2019Regulations, on the other hand, are standards of conduct and discipline against whichcadets are held responsible. Cadets should always maintain high standards, but violationsof regulations are not necessarily violations of the Honor Code. Questions concerningany ambiguity should be addressed to the Company Honor Education Officer or anyHonor Council Member.b. Cadets in leadership positions will refrain from using the Honor Code as a means toenforce or provoke violations of Cadet Rules and Regulations. This can be determined tobe entrapment and an abuse and not admissible in Honor Court proceedings.10. HONOR CODE VIOLATIONS. The Honor Council will ultimately investigate and, asnecessary, prosecute all violations of the Honor Code with most cases following one of twopaths: In cases of academic cheating the case will be referred first to the Chief InstructionalOfficer (Dean) for internal adjudication and any appropriate academic penalties. In casesconcerning non-academic cheating, lying, stealing or non-toleration, the case will generallybe referred to the Commandant of Cadets for appropriate disciplinary action based onviolation of rules or regulations. The Honor Council may consider cases concurrently withthe Dean or Commandant’s processes or wait for their determination before continuing withthe case. Time, availability of witnesses etc. will dictate the sequence of this procedure.7

Honor remediation is a developmental program that focuses onthe moral development of MMI cadets who have committed a dishonorable act but who theHonor Council deems, through mitigating circumstances, would benefit more from this programthan to receive penalty hours, suspension or dismissal. The end-state is to have the cadetunderstand and confident they can “choose the harder right” on their own.2. REMEDIATION PROCESS. After the Honor Council reviews an allegation of violation ofthe Honor Code, it may vote to offer the accused entry into a remediation program.
