isnt rape stealing?</p>
<p>302: No, it isn't.</p>
<p>-if rape of a fellow student is not an honor code violation, either the code is a joke or your moral code is a joke.</p>
<p>to my understanding, the honor committee doesn't deal with felonies. rape is a felony handled by a court, not within UVa. if convicted, the person goes to jail, and out of UVa regardless. </p>
<p>i dont see rape as within honor committee jurisdiction</p>

<p>You must be kidding. I think the joke here is your understanding of the Honor system.</p>

o Criminal prosecution
o Civil suit
o UVa Sexual Assault Board hearing
o Mediation

<p>66472, Honor covers lying, cheating, and stealing. Rape does not follow under those categories, and as I've said, the student governance body to deal with that is UJC (SAB is a divisionary of that I believe). Of course, there are other non-student based actions one can do, like what super.nova just posted.</p>
<p>As I have also asked before, do we accuse rapists of stealing in the U.S. Court system? No, we charge them with rape, obviously. There's a reason it's not considered stealing and why it doesn't fall under the Honor Code. I highly doubt you even attend this school or have attended this school if you believe otherwise.</p>
<p>The Honor Committee does deal with felonies, but of the stealing variety (grand larceny, etc).</p>
