Academic Misconduct: Academic

misconduct

Jurisdiction
Each College or School has a designated person to act on behalf of the
Dean of the School or College to address academic misconduct under the
Student Conduct Code. The student is referred to the School or College in
which they are enrolled for academic misconduct investigations. For
example, if you are teaching Environment 100 in the College of the
Environment, and the student is an Accounting major, the student would
be referred to the Foster School of Business. Community Standards &
Student Conduct (CSSC) can help you get connected with the right contact
in each School or College.
Misconduct
University of Washington students are expected to practice high standards
of academic and professional honesty and integrity. As defined in Student
Governance Policy, Chapter 209 Section 7.C, academic misconduct
includes:

 Cheating
 Falsification
 Plagiarism
 Unauthorized collaboration
 Engaging in prohibited behavior
 Submitting the same work for separate courses without the
permission of the instructor(s)
 Taking deliberate action to destroy or damage another person’s
academic work
 Recording and/or disseminating instructional content without the
permission of the instructor (unless approved as a disability
accommodation

See Section 7.C for more detailed information and definitions of academic

misconduct.

Reporting
Each College or School has a designated person to act on behalf of the
Dean of the School or College to address academic misconduct under the
Student Conduct Code. All academic misconduct allegations must be
reported to the Dean’s Representative. Academic misconduct violations
may only be adjudicated under IKU Code of Ethic Guidelines and Student
Government Body has their own set of policies and procedures by those
who have authority to initiate a conduct proceeding. This ensures a
student’s due process rights, creates consistency in the process, and
accountability for any additional misconduct by the student.

Conduct Process.

Code of Academic Integrity

Promoting Academic
Integrity
The Office of Student Rights & Responsibilities has created the following
suggested guidance to assist in promoting and upholding academic integrity.
Faculty can promote positive academic integrity through:
 Outlining class expectations on academic integrity in the course syllabus
and remind students of these expectations throughout the course.
 Providing clear directions on exams and assignments about which
resources are permitted and which are prohibited.
 Clarifying the type/style of citation standards.
 Giving students opportunities to seek and receive clarification about
expectations.

Suggested Syllabus Language

The University encourages faculty to use their syllabus as an opportunity to
address the importance of academic integrity. This statement is a sample of
such language and could be used verbatim in GW courses or may be
modified as suits the needs of the course.
Academic integrity is an essential part of the educational
process, and all members of the GW community take these
matters very seriously. As the instructor of record for this course,
my role is to provide clear expectations and uphold them in all
assessments. Violations of academic integrity occur when
students fail to cite research sources properly, engage in
unauthorized collaboration, falsify data, and otherwise violate
the Code of Academic Integrity. If you have any questions about
whether or not particular academic practices or resources are
permitted, you should ask me for clarification. If you are reported
for an academic integrity violation, you should contact the Office
of Student Rights and Responsibilities (SRR) to learn more
 about your rights and options in the process. Consequences can
range from failure of assignment to expulsion from the university
and may include a transcript notation. For more information,
please refer to the SRR website
(https://studentconduct.gwu.edu/academic-integrity),
email rights@gwu.edu, or call 202-994-6757.
 
For guidance about establishing behavioral expectations in a course, faculty
may find this resource helpful for syllabus language (see “Before a course
begins or an incident occurs”).

Integrity Pledge Model

Research indicates that requiring students to affirm academic integrity on
graded assignments increases the likelihood that they will engage in the
assignment honestly1. For this reason, the University recommends that
students affirm their academic integrity on all assignments. The following
suggested affirmation is adapted from this research 1.
Faculty may amend and/or use this as suits their needs. The research is
based upon affirmation with each graded assignment. This could also be used
as an affirmation at the beginning of a course or for major assignments and
exams, for example.
Reporting cases of academic integrity violations is not contingent upon use of
this or any other affirmation.
I affirm that this is my own work, I attributed where I used the
work of others, I did not facilitate academic dishonesty for myself
or others, and I used only authorized resources for this
assignment, per the GW Code of Academic Integrity. If I failed to
comply with this statement, I understand consequences will
follow my actions. Consequences may range from receiving a
zero on this assignment to expulsionfrom the university and may
include a transcript notation.

Guide to Clarifying Academic Integrity

Expectations
This guidance may help faculty clarify for students examples of resources that
may be permitted or prohibited on various assessments. While some of these
may seem obvious, we encourage faculty to think critically about these
resources and communicate expectations explicitly to students. Providing
clear, meaningful, and specific boundaries has been proven to improve
academic integrity.
The format (.docx) is intended so that faculty can copy and paste this into
their assessments, moving various resources between categories as fits their
assessment. Feedback and suggestions can be provided to Student Rights &
Responsibilities at rights@gwu.edu.
For the upcoming [insert assessment here], the following
resources are prohibited or permitted as indicated. Where
indicated, you may use the resource, and doing so requires
proper citation. If you have questions about other resources,
please don’t hesitate to contact me. If the resource is not listed
under “permitted” or “permitted with citation,” you should
assume it’s prohibited unless you receive notice otherwise from
me. If I detect you used prohibited resources or failed to cite
appropriately, I will address that matter as described in our
University’s Code of Academic Integrity. Questions about that
process should be directed to Student Rights & Responsibilities.

Copyright
 What copyright laws affect teachers or
students? What are the implications and
possible consequences?

What copyright laws affect teachers and students?
 Teachers must abide by all copyright laws. The only way they are excused from this, is if
the material falls under Fair Use. 
 Fair Use basically means you are using the material solely for educational purposes and it
falls under the certain criteria.
 For students, they must follow whatever their district or school policies are on cheating
and plagiarism. 

What are the Implications and possible consequences?

 As a teacher you may sometimes find it annoying and difficult to abide by the copyright
laws, but as a educator you should follow the rules set out. Also if you do not there could
be consequences.
 Although there are not going to be people giving you daily or even annual check-ups to
make sure you are following the copyright laws, it is still important to adhere to them.
 If you do not respect the copyright laws, and do get caught it is not a light punishment.
Some examples are as followed…
 If found that you did not abide by the fair use guidelines for copyright you could be
fined. These fines can run up to $100,000.
 If the school or district you are teaching at has certain policies pertaining to copyright
materials, and you are found to have broken/violated the copyright laws, the school or
district is not required to provide you with legal support.
 You can avoid these consequences by being educated on what you can or can’t do when
it comes to using other people's ideas and materials. Many websites even provide
courses or a helpful chart like the one below.
