UNIFORMITY
of APPROACH
Should there be a uniform policy on academic integrity written by the
Office of Student Affairs and voted on by the BOT? The answer depends on what is meant by uniformity
and how far it would be extended? So,
how far should uniformity be mandated and should that include both a
process and a set of sanctions?
Range:
•university
wide
•college
wide
•department
wide
•individual
instructor
university
wide : uniformity in both process and sanctions
In favor: Integrated university
with uniformity as an institutional value and protection against
legal liability arising from student lawsuits
Opposed:
the great variety of circumstances, situations and institutions and faculty responsibilities
and prerogatives
