2007-2008 Undergraduate Honor Council Bylaws

The Honor Code provides general rules about the governance of the Honor System, but on the whole it is a description of infractions and the consequences of them.  The Bylaws are intended to provide guidelines for the Honor Council to conduct elections of officers and members, the duties and responsibilities of officers and members, and how to deal with business that might arise.
