Are different standards and sanctions applied for social misconduct vs. academic misconduct?
Standards and sanctions are similar for academic and social misconduct (e.g., cheating vs. alcohol violations), but the circumstances of the specific case are always taken into account [see sanction factors]. Any act of cheating is a serious offense, which may warrant Probation or Deferred Separation up to Suspension or Dismissal from the University, depending on the facts. Many alcohol violations, on the other hand, are resolved with the sanction of a written reprimand or “name on file.” SJA may impose sanctions such as special assignments and community service, as well as learning or educational tasks. These could include a requirement that a student disciplined for plagiarism meet with the Learning Skills Center to work on how to cite sources properly, or that a student referred for an incident of intoxication and disruption meet with ADAPT to discuss alcohol and drug abuse and how to make responsible decisions.
