Current through Register Vol. 24-06, March 15, 2024
(1) Academic dishonesty. Honest assessment of
student performance is of crucial importance to all members of the academic
community. Acts of dishonesty are serious breaches of honor and shall be dealt
with in the following manner:
(a) Any student
who, for the purpose of fulfilling any assignment or task required by a faculty
member as part of the student's program of instruction, shall knowingly tender
any work product that the student fraudulently represents to the faculty member
as the student's work product, shall be deemed to have committed an act of
academic dishonesty. Acts of academic dishonesty shall be cause for
disciplinary action.
(b) Any
student who aids or abets the accomplishment of an act of academic dishonesty,
as described in subsection (a) of this section, shall be subject to
disciplinary action.
(c) This
section shall not be construed as preventing an instructor from taking
immediate disciplinary action when the instructor is required to act upon such
breach of academic dishonesty in order to preserve order and prevent disruptive
conduct in the classroom. This section shall also not be construed as
preventing an instructor from adjusting the student's grade on a particular
project, paper, test, or class grade for academic dishonesty.
(2) Classroom conduct. Instructors
have the authority to take whatever summary actions may be necessary to
maintain order and proper conduct in the classroom and to maintain the
effective cooperation of the class in fulfilling the objectives of the course.
(a) Any student who, by any act of
misconduct, substantially disrupts any college class by engaging in conduct
that renders it difficult or impossible to maintain the decorum of the faculty
member's class shall be subject to disciplinary action.
(b) The instructor of each course offered by
the college is authorized to take such steps as may be necessary to preserve
order and to maintain the effective cooperation of the class in fulfilling the
objectives of the course, provided that a student shall have the right to
appeal the disciplinary action through the discipline appeal procedure (WAC
495B-120-180, discipline appeal
procedure).
