Whenever another person's written work is utilized, whether it is a single phrase or longer, quotation marks must be used and sources cited. Although a person's state of mind and intention will be considered in determining the university response to an act of academic dishonesty, this in no way lessens the responsibility of the student. If your problem is in a particular class, you may wish to start by talking with your instructor or your teaching assistant. After speaking with these members of the department, you can also discuss this problem further with the chair of the undergraduate committee . T he University of California has called for an active policy of education and complaint resolution to ensure an atmosphere free from all forms of harassment, exploitation, and intimidation on the basis of age, race, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, and physical handicap.
Sexual harassment is an illegal form of discrimination and a violation of professional ethics.
UCSB has defined sexual harassment as unwanted sexual attention in a situation of unequal power, and has adopted a specific policy and grievance procedure to provide for the hearing of complaints and the resolution of grievances. The Academic program adviser has further information on these policies.
