When: Wednesday August 27, 2025, 11:30am - 12:30pm
Where: via Zoom (link provided to registrants)
Presenters: Kaela Lindquist, Associate Dean of Students and Director of Student Accountability & Conflict Resolution; Terry Shirley, Chair, Academic Integrity Board; and Amy Kelso, Senior Associate General Counsel
The Code of Student Academic Integrity has recently been revised to make the language more understandable and the processes easier to follow for both students and faculty members. Changes include:
- adding provisions about the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI);
- adding a new category of prohibited behavior, "Failure to Comply" with faculty instructions related to academic integrity;
- adding an "Outcome-Only Hearing" option for cases where a student takes responsibility for their behavior, but disagrees with the outcomes proposed through a Facilitated Resolution;
- adding a new "Graduate Students" chapter to highlight the heightened academic integrity responsibilities and expectations of those engaging in graduate coursework; and
- changing the Informal Resolution form from paper to electronic routing through DocuSign.
