Dean's Panel Dean's Panel
Although the Honor Code provides the guiding principles of the Bryn Mawr community, the College also has in place a set of administrative policies to deal circumstances which are inappropriate for the Honor Board to address. Such circumstances include threats to the physical well-being or safety of its students as well as instances when the resources or property of the College have been abused.
A Dean's Panel is conducted in the spirit of the values affirmed in the Bryn Mawr Honor Code: a belief in the integrity of each individual, a concern for others, and a commitment to dialogue. A Dean's Panel includes members of the Dean's Office staff and the student Honor Board. It differs from an Honor Code hearing in the nature of the alleged offence rather than its severity. All members of the community should realize that being called before a Dean's Panel in no way implies a presumption of guilt.
