http://www.willamette.edu/wu/policy/cheat.html:
Plagiarism and cheating are offenses against the integrity of the courses in which they occur and against the college community as a whole. Plagiarism and cheating involve intellectual dishonesty, deception and fraud, which inhibit the honest exchange of ideas.... Plagiarism and cheating may be grounds for dismissal from the college.... A faculty member may impose penalties for plagiarism and cheating ranging from a grade reduction on an assignment or exam to failure in the course. A faculty member also may suggest that the Dean of the College of Liberal Arts initiate further action.
http://www.susqu.edu/campus_center/handbook/academic_honesty.pdf:
Any form of academic dishonesty is destructive to the central purposes of the University and is universally disapproved.... Students are expected to report any instances of academic dishonesty to the instructor of the course. The instructor of the course shall report any cases of academic dishonesty to his or her Department Head.
Exams are the property of faculty unless they have been given back to students to keep.... If a blank copy of an exam is given to one student from another, it is considered unauthorized possession of an exam. The exam should be returned to the professor immediately. If it is not returned and is discovered, the student possessing the exam will face charges [i.e., be prosecuted under the law].
http://www.temple.edu/bulletin/ugradbulletin/policies_part2.htm:
Temple University believes strongly in academic honesty and integrity. Essential to intellectual growth is the development of independent thought and a respect for the thoughts of others. The prohibition against plagiarism and cheating is intended to foster this independence and respect.
The penalty for academic dishonesty can vary from a reprimand and receiving a failing grade for a particular assignment to suspension or expulsion from the University.
http://academicsenate.cmich.edu/NonCad/ACADEMIC_INTEGRITY_POLICY.pdf:
[A]cademic integrity is a cornerstone of the University's commitment to the principles of free inquiry.... In the academic community the high value placed on truth implies a corresponding intolerance of scholastic dishonesty.
http://www.cba.cmich.edu/faculty/mcban1da/mcbaneim/syllabus/honesty.htm:
Don takes acts of academic dishonesty seriously. Anyone caught violating the [Policy on Academic Integrity] will be given a grade of E for the entire course....You should be aware that in the past Don has assigned a grade of E for an entire course for violations such as copying one answer on an exam, for submitting even a very small homework assignment as one's own work when it was not, for permitting another student to use material for even a very small homework assignment, and for plagiarism. You should also know that the penalty has been applied for students in their final semester, so don't make the mistake of believing you are exempt if you already have a job waiting for you. Any act of academic dishonesty subjects the student to an E for the entire course.
Please do not resort to an act of academic dishonesty that you may regret for years to come.
http://www.gsu.edu/~wwwpug/cheating.htm:
The [University system policy on academic honesty] represents a core value of the university.... All members of the academic community -- students, faculty, and staff -- are expected to report violations of these standards of academic conduct to the appropriate authorities.
http://www.hofstra.edu/senate/senate_fps11.cfm:
A University is a community of faculty, administrators and students dedicated to the pursuit of learning and to the creation of new knowledge. Every individual in this community has an obligation to uphold its intellectual standards, which alone make education worthwhile.... Students play an active role in their own education, and each student bears responsibility for his or her work. Anyone who refuses this responsibility both misses the point of a college education and proves unworthy of it.
Hofstra University would rather educate than expel the offender. It recognizes that one instance of cheating may not be a sign of an incorrigibly dishonest person; but it will not tolerate dishonesty, and it will not offer the privileges of the community to the repeat offender.
A student who commits any act of academic dishonesty is rejecting the responsibility that is inherent in the pursuit of learning and may forfeit the right to remain a member of the academic community, unless he or she is willing and able to recognize the seriousness of the offense and demonstrates such recognition by abstaining from further violation of academic propriety.
http://www2.uiuc.edu/admin_manual/code/rule_33.html:
The University has the responsibility for maintaining academic integrity.... It is the responsibility of the faculty to establish and maintain an environment that supports academic integrity. An essential part of this faculty responsibility is the enforcement of existing standards of academic integrity; where faculty do not discourage and act upon violations of which they become aware, this has the effect of undermining respect for those standards.
The instructor may impose one or more of the following penalties for an infraction of academic integrity: ... a failing grade for the course ...
The instructor may recommend to the department or unit executive officer that the student be suspended or dismissed from the University.
http://www.stanford.edu/dept/vpsa/judicialaffairs/faculty/materials.commitment.htm:
It isn't possible to maintain high academic integrity standards if significant numbers of faculty members lack commitment to academic integrity enforcement.
