The University of Georgia’s process for addressing student violations of academic honesty policies was “awful” before it was revised in 2000, says Debbie Bell, coordinator for academic honesty. “It was a miserable process. Professors would call me and get ready to report student cheating, and then when I would explain the process and what the possible outcomes would be, they would say, ‘Forget I called.'" It was time to create a new way of handling cheating.
