Statement of Policy and Procedures with Respect to Academic Integrity

A primary goal of the College of Education and Human Development is to educate men and women who will serve the education community with competence and integrity. To this end, the faculty considers academic honesty on the part of students of paramount importance. At another level, the trust existing between faculty and students must not be tainted with suspicion of dishonesty. Academic dishonesty is defined in the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities. In the event that a student believes the following procedures for handling allegations of academic dishonesty have resulted in an injustice, that student may seek counsel from the Student Grievance Officer. Procedures for Dealing with Breaches of Academic Integrity 1. A faculty member who believes that a student has committed an act of academic dishonesty shall, after checking with the clearinghouse to

determine if the student has been found guilty of such acts previously, prepare a written statement that specifies the charge and that proposes the penalties to be imposed on the student. The proposed penalties shall be described as either: a. academic penalties, which are penalties associated with the class in question, such as resubmission of or alternate assignments, F on the assignment, F for the course, etc.; or administrative penalties, which are suggested penalties to be imposed by the Dean or Provost, such as suspension or expulsion from the College of Education and Human Development or the University.

forward any recommended University-wide administrative sanctions to the Provost. 5. If the student denies the charge, the faculty member shall forward the statement of the charge and proposed penalties to the department chair, or, if the department chair is the faculty member making the allegation, to the Associate Dean. The department chair or the Associate Dean shall schedule a hearing. a. Notice of the hearing shall either be handdelivered or sent by Registered U.S. Postal Service to the student, at the address listed with the Registrars Office, and to the faculty member via inter-office mail. The notice should be sent at least 10 school days prior to the hearing. The notice should state the time, date and place of the hearing and contain a copy of the original statement of the allegations. If the student fails to appear after proper notice, the hearing will be held in the students absence and a final decision rendered. At the hearing, the professor and the student will each be provided an opportunity to present oral testimony and written evidence. The burden of establishing the students guilt rests with the professor, who must do so by a preponderance of the evidence. A student may be assisted at the hearing by an advisor of his/her choosing. However, that person will not be permitted to speak on behalf of the student at the hearing. After the hearing, the chair or the Associate Dean, as appropriate, will render a decision. Decisions of academic penalties will be final. Additional administrative-penalties recommended will be forwarded to the Dean with all materials submitted at the hearing, including a brief, written statement of reasons for the finding. d. The Dean will consider the recommendation. Within 10 school days, the Dean will make a decision and notify the student, the professor, and the department chair or Associate Dean of the final action taken in the case. Notice of the decision will also be sent to the Office of the Provost. If the Deans decision is not timely, the
