How are cases of academic misconduct handled?
The Student Code of Conduct establishes two methods for resolving a report of academic misconduct. Faculty may either submit a report to the Office of Student Integrity (OSI), which will lead to the case being resolved either by an administrator in OSI or the Student Honor Committee, or by utilizing the Faculty Conference Resolution option covered in D.5.c of the Code of Conduct. It is important to note that even if you elect to utilize the Faculty Conference Resolution option, you are required to report the outcome of that process to OSI. This allows cases involving students who have previously been found responsible for violating the Code of Conduct to be handled properly. This also ensures that if the student is ever involved in a future case, that information will be available. It is recommended that when using the Faculty Conference Resolution option you invite a represtative from OSI to attend the meeting to help ensure that the proper process is followed.
