statement of the problem: on 9feb09, many more of us were logged-in to CPS than were present in hp II.
objective: encourage self-regulating community. moderate class conversation.
class conversation 18feb09, highlights: overview. met with lots of upset students, instructors, deans. we aren't as anonymous as we think. three facets of involvement: those who lent remotes, those who accepted them, those who saw it happen.

asked 'what recommendations can we relay to admin for how to proceed?'
some replies: this experience as a warning is sufficient. admin should provide clear policy of crime/punishment. admin should provide overview for raising/resolving allegations.

asked 'how can we deal with this within our group?'
some replies: we know better than to have done this. those involved feel remorse. learn from it. we won't do it again.

recommendations: reaffirmed mantra 'if you see something, say something' (approach the person directly or talk to officer of class, instructor, admin, etc). take courage in that the majority of the class supports this action, as established by vote early last fall.
limitations: approximately 125 in attendance. few statements.
accolades: because dealing with information of this nature is 'inconvenient' requiring much effort to resolve, many of the faculty are unwilling to expose improprieties. kudos to dr sehl for keeping us honest.
outcomes: TBD. lots of us were discussing the theme throughout the day.
