Many of us know the policies and procedures for academic dishonesty as Appendix D in the catalog. But have you looked at Appendix D recently? Big changes are here!
New policies and procedures were approved by Faculty Senate in Spring 2016, and we’ve taken this year to prepare for implementation.
One website to visit before writing your next syllabus is the Western Coalition for Integrity. The front page discusses the concept of integrity and how it relates to academic honesty. The next website to visit is the site on Academic Honesty maintained by the Provost’s office. There, you will find a description of the new policy, a link to the e-form, and a flow chart for faculty. Please take a moment to review and bookmark these sites, and stay tuned in the coming months for more opportunities to learn about the new procedures.
