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 Judicial Affairs for advice and guidance on how to proceed. If consultation with the Office of Judicial Affairs 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 Judicial Affairs it is deemed that the offense is more serious or the student has a pattern of integrity violations, please use the information here.
