student or students in accordance with the following procedure: Faculty members who suspect that prohibited academic conduct has occurred in their class have an initial responsibility for informing the student or students involved of their suspicion and the grounds thereof, for allowing them a fair opportunity to refute them, and for making an impartial judgment as to whether or not any prohibited academic conduct occurred only upon the basis of substantial evidence. Faculty members have the prerogative of determining the penalty for prohibited academic conduct in their classes. Faculty members may fail the student for the particular assignment, test, or course involved, or they may recommend that the student drop the course in question, or these penalties may be varied with the gravity of the offense and the circumstances of the particular case. In addition, to the prerogative above, or if the student is not enrolled in his or her course, the faculty member may recommend a disciplinary sanction to the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs. The Associate Dean may impose academic warning or probation or may recommend suspension or expulsion to the All College Student Conduct Committee. If a person not currently enrolled at MSU-B is involved in prohibited academic conduct, the Associate Dean for Student Affairs shall be informed of the violation. A student who has received a penalty or a disciplinary sanction for prohibited academic conduct may appeal the decision.

Then, the student may request a hearing by the Academic Standards Committee. A student may be suspended or expelled for prohibited academic conduct by the All College Student Conduct Committee in accordance with the following procedure: The Associate Dean for Academic Affairs must notify the student that they will recommend suspension or expulsion to the All College Student Conduct Committee. The student must be given two school days to file a written notice of appeal with the Academic Standards Committee before the recommendation is presented to the All College Student Conduct Committee.
