It exists for the sake of the advancement of knowledge; the pursuit of truth; the intellectual, ethical and social development of students, and the general well-being of society. All members of our community have an obligation to themselves, to their peers and to the institution to uphold the integrity of Butler University. In the area of academic integrity, this means that one\u2019s work should be one\u2019s own and that the instructor\u2019s evaluation should be based on the student\u2019s own efforts and understanding. When the standards of academic integrity are breached, mutual trust is undermined, the ideals of personal responsibility and autonomy are violated, teaching and learning are severely compromised, and other goals of the academic community cannot be realized.<\/p><p>Students are responsible for being fully aware of what constitutes academic dishonesty; claims of ignorance cannot be used to justify or rationalize dishonest acts. Academic dishonesty can take a number of forms, including but not limited to cheating, plagiarism, fabrication, facilitation, and interference:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li><strong>Cheating<\/strong> includes receiving or giving help on papers, experiments, reports, compositions, projects, or examinations without the instructor\u2019s permission. It also includes submitting part of or all of the completed assignment of another person as one\u2019s own work. Of special note and concern is the use of purchased research papers. It is a violation of the regulations of Butler University for a student to purchase a term paper. Cheating is also using unauthorized materials and aids, such as books, one\u2019s own notes or those of another, and calculators during an examination. In addition, cheating also includes unauthorized use of another\u2019s intellectual property.<\/li> <li><strong>Plagiarism<\/strong>\u00a0is the fraudulent misrepresentation of any part of another person\u2019s work as one\u2019s own. Submitting any writing, including take-home exams, that does not properly acknowledge the quoting or paraphrasing of another person\u2019s words, or that fails to give proper credit for another person\u2019s ideas, opinion, or theory is plagiarism. Any unacknowledged use of sources to which one is indebted including but not limited to, music, video, audio, theatre projects, compositions, website, and computer software constitutes plagiarism.<\/li> <li><strong>Fabrication<\/strong>\u00a0is the falsification or invention of information or data in reports, lab results, bibliographies, or any other academic undertaking.<\/li> <li><strong>Facilitating<\/strong>\u00a0academic dishonesty involves assisting someone in an act of dishonesty.<\/li> <li><strong>Interference<\/strong>\u00a0includes the theft, alteration, destruction, or obstruction of another student\u2019s work. Interference may take the form of the theft, defacements, or destruction of resources, e.g., library periodicals and books, so as to deprive other students of information.<\/li><\/ul><p>The requirements of academic integrity also extend to academic activities involving computers and networks and unethical\/unprofessional conduct specific to academic programs. (See <a href=\"https:\/\/www.butler.edu\/information-technology\/university-computing-policies\/\" title=\"Computer Use Policy\">Computer Use Policy<\/a>).<\/p><p>A person who violates the standards of academic integrity undermines the values integral to the educational mission of Butler University. Academic dishonesty is a serious offense, harming both the community and the perpetrator, and Butler University has, accordingly, adopted procedures for dealing with possible instances of academic dishonesty. A college may also adopt its own procedures for dealing with academic integrity issues.\u00a0In such a case, the college&#8217;s procedure may be followed in addition to or as an alternative to the procedures set forth in each section that follows.<\/p><p><em>(Note: \u201cdays,\u201d as used throughout the student handbook, except where otherwise stated, means \u201ccalendar days.\u201d The reference \u201cDean\u201d may also refer to the Dean\u2019s designee.)<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"acc-flex-container\">\n\t<div class=\"acc-title-container\" role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"3\">\n\t\t<button id='block_acf-block-65aa864fcb594-acc-row' class='acc-row' type='button' aria-expanded='false' aria-controls='block_acf-block-65aa864fcb594_acc-content-panel'>\n\t\t\t<div id='block_acf-block-65aa864fcb594-acc-title' class='acc-title'>\n\t\t\t\tThe student\u2019s act of academic dishonesty takes place in a course in which the student is enrolled\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<img alt=\"\" id='block_acf-block-65aa864fcb594-acc-img' class='acc-icon' src='https:\/\/www.butler.edu\/student-life\/wp-content\/plugins\/butler-acf-blocks-new\/assets\/images\/nav_main_icon_open.png' \/>\n\t\t<\/button>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div role=\"region\" aria-hidden='true'\n\t\tid='block_acf-block-65aa864fcb594-acc-content-panel' class='acc-panel' aria-labelledby=\"block_acf-block-65aa864fcb594-acc-row\">\n\t\t<div class=\"acf-innerblocks-container\"><ol class=\"wp-block-list\"> <li>Imposition of sanctions by the instructor.(a)\u00a0The instructor has a conference with the student. The instructor should explain the nature and basis of the allegation of academic dishonesty. The student must be provided with the opportunity to respond.(b)\u00a0The instructor has the option of consulting the instructor\u2019s department chair in order to determine whether an infraction has occurred, if a penalty should be imposed, and, if so, what it should be. The department chair may attend the conference with the student. Deans of the colleges without department chairs may appoint a faculty consultant for the same purpose. The instructor may apply other procedures formally agreed to within the instructor\u2019s college.(c)\u00a0If the instructor concludes that the alleged infraction did take place, the instructor will report this in writing to the student, generally within seven (7) days after the conference. A copy of the report will be sent to the Dean of Students. The report will state the nature of the offense, the penalty imposed, and how the decision can be appealed. The report will also inform the student that the Vice President for Student Affairs may impose an additional penalty (as determined by the procedures stated in 3 below).(d)\u00a0The instructor may impose a penalty ranging from lowering the grade for an assignment or test to failing the assignment, the test, or the course. The office of Registration and Records should be informed immediately when the penalty is an \u201cF\u201d for the course, so that the student may not withdraw from the course and receive a \u201cW.\u201d This grade may be changed subject to the outcome of an appeal.<\/li> <li>Imposition of sanctions by the dean of the student\u2019s college.(a) The instructor may request that the dean of the student\u2019s college handle the allegation of academic dishonesty. The instructor may opt for this course of action either before or after a conference with the student accused of academic dishonesty. In either case, if the dean decides to handle the allegation of academic dishonesty, the dean will have a conference with the student, explain the nature and basis of the allegation and provide the student with the opportunity to respond. The dean may invite the instructor to attend the conference. The dean may apply other procedures formally agreed to within the dean\u2019s college.(b) If the dean concludes that the student did commit the alleged infraction, the dean will impose a penalty and follow the procedures described in 1(c) and 1(d). The dean may apply additional penalties formally agreed to within the dean\u2019s college.<\/li> <li>Actions by the Vice President for Student Affairs.(a) After receiving a report of an act of academic dishonesty, the Vice President for Student Affairs (or designee) must examine whether the student has a previous record of academic dishonesty in order to determine if additional action should be taken.\u00a0 If further action is taken, the vice president must report their decision in writing to the student, generally within 10 days. A copy of the report will be sent to the dean of the student\u2019s college. The report will mention how the action can be appealed.(b) If the student has no previous record of academic dishonesty, the Dean of Students or the Vice President for Student Affairs (or designee) may advise the student to have a conference with the dean of the student\u2019s college with the purpose of assisting the student in finding ways of realizing academic success without dishonesty.(c) If the student has a record of one prior offense the student is required to have a conference with the dean of the student\u2019s college.(d) If the student has a record of two prior offenses the student will be immediately suspended for the semester in which the last offense took place. If that semester has already passed, the student will be suspended for the semester following the one during which the last offense occurred.(e) If the student has a record of three prior offenses, the student will be immediately dismissed from the University.<\/li> <li>Appeal(a) If the student seeks to appeal the penalty imposed by the instructor the student should initiate the appeal in writing to the dean of the student\u2019s college within seven (7) days of the date of the notification letter\/e-mail stating the penalty. The Dean will have a conference with the student, generally within 10 days after receiving the notice of appeal. The student will be informed in writing of the dean\u2019s action generally within seven (7) days after the conference. A copy of the report will be sent to the instructor and the Dean of Students.(b) If the student originally met with the dean, rather than the course instructor, any appeal would go to the Appeal Board.(c) For Appeal Board Process and Procedures, please click on this\u00a0<a aria-label=\"To make this website accessible to screen reader, Press combination of alt and 1 keys.
