Academic Integrity:
The academic community is operated on the basis of honesty, integrity, and fair play.
Occasionally, this trust is violated when cheating occurs, either inadvertently or deliberately. This
Code will serve as the guideline for cases where cheating, plagiarism, or other academic
improprieties have occurred.
1.
The primary responsibility of the students, faculty, and administration is to create an
atmosphere where the honesty of individuals will not be questioned.
A.
Faculty members are responsible for providing guidelines concerning cheating and
plagiarism at the beginning of each course, and should use precautionary measures
and security in cases where cheating is likely to occur.
B.
Students are responsible for submitting their own work. Students who cooperate on
oral or written examinations or work without authorization share the responsibility
for violation of academic principles and the students are subject to disciplinary action
even when one of the students is not enrolled in the course where the violation
occurred.
2.
The faculty member and the administration are responsible for procedural fairness to the
accused student or students in accordance with the following procedure:
A.
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.
B.
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.
C.
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.
D.
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.
