Academic Integrity (University) | “The integrity
of all scholarly work is at the foundation of an academic community.
Students are expected to do their own academic work. Dishonesty in
academic work, including cheating, academic misconduct, fabrication, or
plagiarism, is unacceptable. Faculty are expected to instruct students
in ways of avoiding these forms of academic dishonesty. Faculty are also
responsible for assessing and reporting all charges of academic
dishonesty to the appropriate Dean. MU’s Academic Integrity Policy can
be found at
http://www.mansfield.edu/academic-affairs/faculty-resources/upload/Mansfield-University-Process-for-Reporting-Academic-Integrity-Violations-Rev-3-09.pdf
and the
Academic Dishonesty Form may be accessed here or from the Academic
Affairs website.” |
Students Requesting Academic and/or Access Accommoda-tions
(University) |
“Students
with documented learning disabilities, physical challenges, mental
health diagnoses, or other significant medical conditions whose learning
or participation may be affected in this course, should meet with the
Coordinator of Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD Coordinator)
in the Office of Services for Students with Disabilities located in the
Department of Academic and Human Development (144 South Hall, Phone:
570/662-4436) for a review of qualification for reasonable
accommodations. It is recommended that students contact the SSD
Coordinator during the first two weeks of classes or immediately upon
diagnosis to ensure accommodations are met in an efficient, appropriate,
and timely manner for the best student learning outcome. Upon
qualification, the Coordinator will arrange to provide an accommodation
letter to the professor for the identification of academic or
accessibility adjustments. You must contact the Office of Services for
Students with Disabilities to renew accommodation letters at the start
of each semester.” |

Title IX and Protection of Minors Legislation: Reporting Obligations (University) |
"Mansfield University and its faculty are committed to assuring a safe
and productive educational environment for all students. Title IX Requirements: “In order to meet this commitment and to comply with Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972 and guidance from the Office for Civil Rights, the University requires faculty members to report incidents of sexual violence shared by students to the University’s Title IX Coordinator at titleix@mansfield.edu . The only exceptions to the faculty member’s reporting obligation under Title IX are when incidents of sexual violence are communicated by a student during a classroom discussion, in a writing assignment for a class, or as part of a University-approved research project. Additional information regarding the reporting of sexual violence and the resources that are available to victims of sexual violence is set forth at: http://www.mansfield.edu/title-ix/upload/Title-IX-Policy-FINAL-7-2016.pdf; http://www.mansfield.edu/title-ix/resources.cfm (Title IX Resources), and http://www.mansfield.edu/title-ix/bill-of-rights.cfm (Sexual Misconduct Victims’ Bill of Rights). Reports of Title IX matters should be directed to the Title IX Coordinator at titleix@mansfield.edu.” Protection of Minors Requirements: “Faculty members are obligated to report sexual violence or any other abuse of a student who was, or is, a child (a person under 18 years of age) when the abuse allegedly occurred. Mandated reporters must immediately make an oral report of suspected child abuse to the Department of Human Services (DHS) by calling 800-932-0313. Immediately following the report to DHS, the mandated reporter must notify Tanya Bombicca (570-389-4151), as designated in the University’s protection of minors policy. No exceptions apply to this reporting obligation. Mansfield University’s Protection of Minors policy is available at http://www.mansfield.edu/hr/protection-of-minors.cfm.” |
