Information for Faculty
Role of Faculty in Academic Integrity
Faculty play a pivotal role in modeling and maintaining academic
integrity on campus. Faculty are encouraged to provide opportunities
for students to reflect on integrity issues with the context of the
course. Tips for how faculty can cultivate a climate of integrity can
be found here.
Potential Cases of Academic Integrity Violations
If you suspect academic dishonesty you are required to contact the Office of Student Conduct
for advice and guidance on how to proceed. If consultation with the
Office of Student Conduct reveals that the offense is minor and that
the student has no past record of academic dishonesty, faculty may
choose to resolve the matter through a faculty-student resolution,
which gives the faculty flexibility in how to sanction students and
will not become part of the student's disciplinary record unless there
is a second violation. More details on faculty-student resolutions and
the form for reporting a faculty-student resolution can be found here.
If, however, after consultation with the Office of Student Conduct it is deemed that the offense is more serious or the student has a pattern of integrity violations, please use the information here.
