B. Unauthorized Entry

It is generally well known that many unauthorized individuals possess master keys to campus buildings. Possession of these keys is not in itself a violation of the Honor System because their mere possession is not proof of their use to gain unfair advantage over another. However, by having a master key, one assumes responsibility for its proper use not only by oneself, but also by others. Selling, giving, or loaning these keys or any building keys to persons not associated with Caltech is an extremely irresponsible action which jeopardizes the security and property of the community. Consequently, such cases are dealt with in the harshest possible manner.

When entering areas which, at the time, are closed to you or are generally considered to be private, one risks violating the Honor System unless prior, proper permission has been secured. Ignorance is no excuse. Therefore, you are urged to acquaint yourselves with the rules and regulations pertaining to the buildings which you enter prior to doing so.
