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

Academic Dishonesty Form may be accessed here or from the Academic
Affairs website.” |
