The Faculty Council is reconsidering the honors regulations the Faculty passed last month, in light of quirks in the legislation that were not fully apparent until after the vote.

In particular, the council wants to amend the clauses in the standards for magna and cum laude degrees that equate pass-fail and failing grades in non-concentration courses.

One council member said last week, "Even if there are people who think there isn't that much difference between pass-fail and failing, the council feels it should attack pass-fail directly or not at all."

One of the options the Ad Hoc Committee on Honors will consider includes requiring honors grades in a fixed number of courses outside students' concentration requirements, rather than in a percentage of non-concentration courses.
