The honor code for the U.S. Military Academy at West Point is as follows: “A cadet does not lie, cheat, or steal; nor tolerate anyone who does.” The goal of the code is that cadets: Learn and practice the essential leader responsibilities of establishing a healthy ethical climate within a unit. This honor code is so stringent that even one violation at any time during the four years of study, including even the day before graduation, requires automatic expulsion of the guilty party.
