| Result | n/a |
| Remarks | Professors should be able to make up their own policies to run their exams. |
| Whereas | Cheating on exams is more visible to the student than the professor; and |
| Whereas | Students have used other students from earlier class sections to obtain specific answers to exams; and |
| Whereas | Students have retained said answers by making notes or inconspicuous markings on testing forms (i.e. scantrons and/or bluebooks) before the exam takes place; and |
| Whereas | Such actions can unfairly advance some students while lessening the honest efforts of those who don't engage in said practices by lowering their overall class standing. |
| Be It Further Resolved That | Students be required to supply each professor at the beginning of the semester with the number of testing forms equal to that of the number of exams that will be administered throughout the course; and |
| Be It Further Resolved That | These testing forms be handed back to students only during a class in which an exam is being administered; and |
| Be It Further Resolved That | Each professor put their own unique marking, stamp, or initialing on each testing form before the administering of exams to assure that materials handed back at the conclusion of each test are not exchanged with any forms brought into class by a student; and |
| Be It Further Resolved That | Professors distribute at least two versions of each exam during testing periods. |
