(10/18/05 4:00am)
As part of the Duke Community Standard, every student pledges: "I will not lie, cheat, or steal in my academic endeavors, nor will I accept the actions of those who do." The latter half of this affirmation is known as the "non-toleration" clause. The Community Standard, with its pledge, is a statement of principles and expectations. The policies that flow from it provide a credible framework for action.
