"The university's honor code prohibits collecting old exams, but the current provision was not in effect during the period when the tests were collected, university spokesman Fred Hilton said Wednesday."
The sororities did nothing wrong keeping files that predate the honor code, unless of course, the honor code states that old tests the predate the honor code may not be collected. I wonder if the honor code says anything about keeping class notes?
My thought--Professors giving tests with material that is 10 years old+ should be held accountable in their next review. I wonder if there are any geography quizzes floating around this semester asking you to map the Soviet Union.
I also feel that it is not cheating to give old tests or notes to friends who will be taking the class in the future. They can use them as study guides. If the teacher is truly "teaching," then he is constantly updating his materials and tests in order to engage his students in "learning."
Novel concept, no?
