<p>The thing is, the consequences are much more severe for cheating at Caltech. I mean, look at their online example of an honor court proceeding; a guy gets put on indefinite leave for copying homework. Sure, that’s basically never going to really happen, but at what other school would anyone suggest it might?</p>
<p>Of course, honor codes aren’t perfect. Cheating is going to happen no matter what you do. But if you can get about the same amount of cheating with a lot fewer restrictions on students, why is that not a good thing?</p>
