Academic integrity requires the honest performance of academic responsibilities by students.
Academic responsibilities include, but are not limited to, the preparation of assignments, reports and term papers, the taking of examinations, and a sincere and conscientious effort by students to abide by the policies set forth by instructors. Any subversion or compromise of academic integrity thus constitutes academic misconduct. When an instructor determines that a student has violated academic integrity as described above, the instructor may charge the student with academic misconduct. The following sanctions for academic misconduct are from the provisions of Article II, Section 6 of the University Senate Rules and Regulations. An oral statement that his or her present actions constitute academic misconduct.
