Oh, come on! If it’s uniformity, it’s not diversity and DEI fails. So having multiple standards is a good thing!

Many honor codes, that were uniform for more than 100 years, have increased in the quantity of “drumming-out” ceremonies and diverse students who refused to adapt to the code’s standards - but brought their “diverse” standards - then found themselves; gone. For due process, freshmen/ladies are usually addressed by members of the honor committee who explain the code and describe the consequences. In my experience, after receiving the description and consequences, we were given a choice of knowing acceptance or advised to depart; if we remained we were affirming a system that existed before we were born.
