Nearly a month after the University’s chapter of Delta Kappa Epsilon hung controversial signs from their fraternity house, chapter president Spencer Crane addressed members of Student Government Senate Wednesday expressing his and the fraternity’s apologies.
“On behalf of Delta Kappa Epsilon and myself, we owe you an apology,” Crane said. “I apologize for the negative light we brought to the University. I, as the Delta Kappa Epsilon president, take full responsibility. It was a bad judgment call on my part. I am sorry.”
Crane said if he had the opportunity to change the situation, he would not have allowed the sign to be hung at all.
As DKE is working on improving their integrity, SG passed a resolution that attempts to raise the academic integrity standards of University students.
This resolution is the first step toward incorporating an honor code and honor board in the University Code of Student Conduct. 
If a student is caught cheating, an honor board comprised of students can determine punishment before the student meets with the Dean of Students.
Senator Brian Rees said there’s hope that the honor code could be incorporated into course syllabi and posted in classrooms around campus.
SG passed a second resolution — SG Resolution No. 4 — supporting the establishment of guidelines for gaining class credit for internships, co-ops, practica and fellowships in all academic colleges.
The guidelines for receiving class credit for internships varies from college to college. Some have stricter guidelines than others. Resolution No. 4 ensures every student who receives credit for their internship is held to the same standard, President Emeritus Taylor Cox said.
The guidelines require one hour of credit will be granted for every 50 hours worked.
Student Government also passed Finance Bill No. 1, which will help students further their search for internships.
The bill allocates $3,300 from the student contingency fund to Career Services’ Going Global Program, which gives students and alumni access to a database of internships across the world.
