Virginia Military Institute will make changes to its student-run honor court to make the system fairer to cadets accused of lying, cheating, stealing or other transgressions that can lead to expulsion.
VMI detailed the reforms in a progress report Friday in response to a state-ordered investigation into racism and sexism at the nation’s oldest state-supported military college.
The 70-page report, which the college gave to General Assembly members and the Virginia secretary of education, describes initiatives approved, enacted or begun last year, including mandatory diversity, equity, and inclusion training for administrators and members of VMI’s Board of Visitors, and changes to the Lexington school’s one-strike-and-you’re-out honor court system.
Black students at VMI were expelled by the honor court at a disproportionately high rate, according to data obtained by The Washington Post for the three academic years between the fall of 2017 and the spring of 2020. Though Black cadets made up about 6 percent of the student body, they represented about 43 percent of those expelled for honor code violations. Twelve out of the 28 VMI students dismissed in those three academic years were Black. When students of color were included in the count, the number of expelled rose to 15, or about 54 percent of the total, even though minorities made up about 21 percent of the student population in that three-year period.

Just eliminate the honor system entirely…let anything go…just like the blue hole cities…
And just replace any classes that are remotely military with 14th Century French Art, Black History and Sociology.
So blacks, like their typical hood rats outside of the academy, are actually cheating, lying, etc at the higher rate proportionally,isn’t the issue, it just looks bad....
So out with honor and standards to placate the woke mob
Maybe they were acting out at disproportionate rates.
Fantastic! I say abolish all education, training and certifications of medical-types. Take your chances with the Local Leach Doctor!
I mean, why BOTHER to have a well-trained and qualified Military?
Oh, never mind...
So if you’re black and “accused of lying, cheating, stealing or other transgressions”...keep it up!! You’ll be fine!
Gee, maybe the Blacks violated the honor code at a higher rate than Whites. But no, the WP and the Left see only racism. Same with incarcerations and criminal acts. So the answer is always dumb down and change standards. Obviously, an honor code is a White construct so Blacks don’t have to abide.
When you don’t like what the tape measure showed, cut the tape!

I lived under an honor code similar to theirs for four years. It was unambiguous. It was spelled out, clearly. The punishments were handed out as explained.
A cadet doesn’t lie, cheat, steal or participate in collective action.
Pretty simple.
I knew a first semester senior who was booted in an hour for stealing a freakin small tube of toothpaste from the school store. But…stealing had one punishment: Permanent explusion.
Are they saying that Blacks have less honor than other races?
These are the rules. If you can’t follow them, get the f*** out.
US military will change KIA system that kills Blacks at disproportionate rates
Those statistics seem to mirror the overall statistics of black behavior-—all over the USA.
There shouldn’t be special rules for blacks-—ANYWHERE.
They refuse to acknowledge the violations are “disproportionate”.
i notice they never mention said violations...
would not the proper thing be to correct the problems they are having instead of scrapping the system?
Yes. Liberals all believe that.
VMI will change honor system that expels Black cadets at disproportionate rates
