<p>The thing is, this doesn’t actually happen. People do not in fact get expelled for failing to report that their friend committed an honor code violation, and don’t get expelled for honor code violations nearly as much as colleges with honor codes claim. And in fact, your “low-level marijuana or alcohol use” isn’t even a violation of many of the honor codes I’ve seen. The hypothetical community where everyone immediately reports all infractions of any size is bad, sure, but that’s not actually what happens.</p>
