Washington Administrative Code › Title 174 - Evergreen State College, The › Chapter 174-123 - Student conduct code › BACKGROUND › Section 174-123-170 - Prohibited conduct

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
The code of student rights and responsibilities recognizes
				  two types of prohibited conduct: Conduct related to community, and conduct
				  related to persons. The subsections below outline the basic structures of
				  community that the code seeks to uphold, and the basic rights and expectations
				  of students that the code seeks to support. Conduct prohibited under Title IX
				  of the Education Amendments Act of 1972,  20 U.S.C. Sec. 1681, and associated
				  procedures are set out in WAC 174-123-355 to 174-123-440 (supplemental Title IX
				  student conduct procedures).
(1)
				Conduct related to community.
The Evergreen State College community is a vibrant and
				  engaged collective of individuals who have committed to the mission of the
				  college. The college's mission statement reads as follows: "As an innovative
				  public liberal arts college, Evergreen emphasizes collaborative,
				  interdisciplinary learning across significant differences. Our academic
				  community engages students in defining and thinking critically about their
				  learning. Evergreen supports and benefits from local and global commitments to
				  social justice, diversity, environmental stewardship and service in the public
				  interest." Students are encouraged to continue to grow individualistically
				  while contributing to and shaping the Evergreen community as each person brings
				  new ideas, new perspectives, and renewed focus that is invaluable at a liberal
				  arts college.
Students in the college community are expected to practice
				  academic integrity: To author their own ideas and critique and evaluate others'
				  ideas in their own voices. The greater learning community of the college can
				  thrive only if each person works with a genuine commitment to make their own
				  authentic intellectual discoveries. To that end it is a community expectation
				  that students and recognized organizations will not engage in the following
				  prohibited conduct, which constitute violations of this code:
(a)
Academic dishonesty
which
				includes, but is not limited to, the following:
(i) Cheating includes any attempt to give or
				obtain unauthorized assistance relating to the completion of an academic
				assignment;
(ii) Plagiarism
				includes taking and using as one's own without proper attribution the ideas,
				writings, or work of another person in completing an academic assignment.
				Plagiarism may also include the unauthorized submission of academic work for
				credit that has been submitted for credit in another course;
(iii) Fabrication includes falsifying data,
				information, or citations in completing an academic assignment and also
				includes providing false or deceptive information to an instructor concerning
				the completion of an assignment;
(iv) Using assistance or materials that are
				expressly forbidden to complete an academic product or assignment;
(v) The unauthorized collaboration with any
				other person during the completion of independent academic work;

				substitute oneself to complete academic work; or
