Faculty Handbook: Academic Conduct Policy

adopted by University Council, December 1995

Purpose

If it is to fulfill its missions, an academic community requires that all of its participants maintain the highest standards of honor and integrity. The purpose of the Academic Conduct Policy is to make all aware of these expectations. Additionally, the policy outlines some, but not all, of the situations that violate these standards. Further, the policy sets forth a set of procedures that will be used when these standards are violated.

In this spirit, this policy outlines:

  1. Academic Misconduct
  2. Procedures for Dealing with Academic Misconduct
  3. Sanctions

These are not meant to be exhaustive.

The policy was transferred from the 2022 Faculty and Staff Handbook and then reviewed and approved by a special committee of the Faculty Senate in July 2023.
