Faculty member authority to respond to academic dishonesty and other ethical violations.
(1) A faculty member need not give credit for course work that is the product of cheating, plagiarism, or other dishonesty. For any act of dishonesty that occurs during an instructional course, the faculty member may impose reprimands, educational opportunities, and/or adjust the student's grade accordingly for the particular examination, paper, or other work product where that dishonesty occurred. Any such faculty response shall not limit or preclude disciplinary sanction(s) from the student conduct office for the same act of dishonesty.
(2) A student who has received a grade adjustment by the faculty member on the basis of academic dishonesty under this code may grieve that adjustment under the student complaint procedure; however, any sanction that is imposed by the student conduct officer or student conduct board or panel must be reviewed under the student disciplinary procedure.
