Policy

"Academic Integrity is defined as "honest and responsible scholarship" (University of Oklahoma,聽2018), and is further characterized by the five values designated by the International Center for聽Academic Integrity: "honesty, trust, fairness, respect, and responsibility" (International Center聽for Academic Integrity, 2014, p. 16). 夜色视频 shares the Center's preference for an聽academic, supportive, and promotive approach to academic integrity rather than one focused聽mainly on violation detection and disciplinary consequence.

Nazareth recognizes the interdependence among these five values. Trust of instructors聽follows fair treatment of students. Trust among scholars at all levels depends on honesty. And聽respect is earned when we hold ourselves as responsible as we expect others to hold themselves.聽In these ways, academic freedom is earned with academic integrity.

In addition to modeling academic integrity, it is often the responsibility of faculty to teach聽students the importance of academic honesty as well as the procedures for recognizing the work聽of others. So informed, students are then responsible for holding themselves to the same聽standards. Course instructors are familiar with their students, with their own disciplines鈥櫬燾onventions, and with their own coverage of those conventions at any given point in the聽semester. Therefore, instructors are best situated initially to assess the nature and extent of聽violations of academically honest practice. This begins with distinguishing errors due to聽insufficient education on the one hand, and deliberate violations on the other.


Procedures

  • The first step following an instructor鈥檚 detection of a possible violation is to meet聽with the student to mutually share information. As a general guideline, if the instructor believes聽that an error was made due to a student鈥檚 lack of information, then an educational solution is聽probably indicated.
  • If the instructor suspects a case of deliberate academic dishonesty, then a聽response may take the form of some combination of educational and disciplinary consequence.聽Both success and deficiency in honest scholarship may be due to numerous variables, which may聽include the developmental level of the student, language, cultural familiarity, the extent of course聽coverage of academic integrity, evidence of planning, and/or exploitation of others.
  • As the聽seriousness, extent, and deliberate nature of offenses increase, so does the weight of Nazareth鈥檚 expectation for (a) including others (Chair/Associate Dean, Program Director, Dean,聽AVPAA, VPAA) in the matter, and (b) reporting the matter to the Associate VPAA to facilitate聽record-keeping.
