I was a TA at Princeton ~5 years ago, and I had forgotten about the honor code until reading this. Yes it's true, we did not proctor exams, and students seemed to take pride in it. On every test, you got the names/signatures of those sitting next to you. But also, I had a student who was accused of not putting his pencil down when the test had concluded, and the bureaucratic process to fight the accusation was so crippling that they had to take a semester of leave anyway. So I don't see harm in tearing it down.
Hm, this answers something I was wondering, how do accusations work with no proctors or other evidence
You end up in this wonderful place: https://rrr.princeton.edu/students-and-university/25-univers...
Wouldn’t you end up in front of the Undergraduate Honor Committee rather than the Faculty-Student Committee on Discipline?
The Faculty-Student Committee on Discipline “adjudicates all potential violations of academic integrity regulations by undergraduate students other than those violations involving in-class exams (which fall under the jurisdiction of the Honor Committee)” [0]
