What if my Teaching Assistant observed or identified a suspected incident of scholastic dishonesty?
Teaching assistants, graduate assistants, and proctors also play an important role in addressing academic dishonesty, and are often the first individuals to identify or observe suspected violations. With that in mind, you should emphasize to them the importance of promptly notifying you of any such incidents and providing you with the supporting evidence, including detailed accounts of their observations. As the faculty member, you however are the only person authorized to resolve this type of violation with a student through a Faculty Disposition or proceed with a Referral to Student Judicial Services of any unresolved matter.
