To date, approximately 500 students have participated in the class. In conjunction with the Academic Judiciary office, members of the CSC and the Department of Residential Programs teach the Academic Dishonesty or Q Course which is required of students found guilty of academic dishonesty. The Q course meets for 1 hour per week for 10 weeks during the semester and discusses ethics, proper resource citation, personal experience with academic dishonesty, and a variety of other topics. In another collaborative effort, staff acting as judicial officers have a wide variety of community service options they can employ when deciding on a sanction. In an agreement with the Volunteer Services arm of the Career Center, judicial officers refer students to the Volunteer Services Coordinator who then pairs the student with an appropriate community service opportunity based on the number of hours required of them.
Anger is explored from a physical, emotional, and psychological basis.
Students are taught to identify their personal anger triggers and encouraged to choose healthier options for dealing with their anger. While there are many current options for creative sanctioning, the CSC continues to research other sanctioning options, as well as pro-active efforts to deal with the changing face of student conduct on college campuses and to better serve the students at Stony Brook.
