They are responsible for educating\u00a0 students about the importance of academic integrity and for communicating to students\u00a0 expectations with respect to academic integrity in course work including but not limited to permissible limits of student collaboration and, where relevant, acceptable citation format.<\/p>\n<p>In order to demonstrate responsible teaching and academic practices that are grounded in academic integrity, all faculty will:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>foster an environment where academic integrity is expected and respected by undertaking adequate measures to prevent academic dishonesty and by imposing penalties and reporting all alleged violations of academic integrity to the Vice Provost whenever such incidents occur; and<\/li>\n<li>adhere to and encourage all students to comply with the policy in their academic work, which includes but is not limited to adhering to the honest pursuit of research and scholarship by attribution of credit to all individuals who participated in the conduct or contributed to the completion of a project, paper, publication, experiement, etc.; by citation of the specific source of all information; and by respect for truth in reporting experimental findings or the results of scholarly inquiry.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES: Students have the responsibility to know and understand the Academic Integrity Policy, to comply with the policy in their academic work, and to inform the faculty and\/or the Vice Provost if they are aware of violations of the Academic Integrity Policy.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Criteria<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>There are four (4) broad forms of academic dishonesty:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Cheating<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Cheating is an act of deception by which a student misrepresents his or her mastery of material on a test or other academic exercise.\u00a0 Examples of cheating include, but are not limited to:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<ul>\n<li>copying from another student\u2019s work;<\/li>\n<li>allowing another student to copy his\/her work;<\/li>\n<li>using unauthorized materials such as a textbook, notebook, or electronic devices during an examination;<\/li>\n<li>using specifically prepared materials, such as notes written on clothing, or other unauthorized notes, formula lists, etc., during an examination;<\/li>\n<li>collaborating with another person during an examination by giving or receiving information without authorization from the instructor;<\/li>\n<li>taking a test for another person or asking or allowing another to take the student\u2019s own test.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><strong>PLAGIARISM<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Plagiarism occurs when a person represents someone else\u2019s words, ideas, phrases, sentences, or data as one\u2019s own work.\u00a0 When a student submits work that includes such material, the source of that information must be acknowledged through complete, accurate, and specific footnote or endnote references; additionally, verbatim statements must be acknowledged through quotation marks.\u00a0 To avoid a charge of plagiarism, a student should be sure to include an acknowledgment of indebtedness:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<ul>\n<li>whenever he or she quotes another person\u2019s words directly;<\/li>\n<li>whenever he or she uses another person\u2019s ideas, opinions, or theories, even if they have been completely paraphrased in one\u2019s own words;<\/li>\n<li>whenever he or she allows another individual to contribute to the work in some significant fashion (for instance, through editing or sharing of ideas);<\/li>\n<li>whenever he or she uses facts, statistics, or other illustrative material taken from a source, unless the information is common knowledge.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Examples of standard citation formats can be found on the George T. Potter Library Website:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ramapo.edu\/library\/citation-help\/\">Library Website: Citation Manuals and Style Guides<\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Academic Misconduct<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Academic misconduct includes the alteration of grades, involvement in the acquisition or distribution of unadministered tests, and the unauthorized submission of student work in more than one class.\u00a0 Examples of academic misconduct include, but are not limited to:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<ul>\n<li>changing, altering, falsifying, or being the accessory to the changing, altering, or falsifying of a grade report or form, transcript, or other academic record, or entering any computer system or College office or building for that purpose;<\/li>\n<li>stealing, buying, selling, giving way, or otherwise obtaining all or part of any unadministered test or paper or entering any computer system or College office or building for the purpose of obtaining an unadministered test;<\/li>\n<li>submitting written work (in whole or in significant part) to fulfill the requirements of more than one course without the explicit permission of both instructors;<\/li>\n<li>disregarding policies governing the use of human subjects or animals in research;<\/li>\n<li>sabotaging another student\u2019s work through actions designed to prevent the student from successfully completing an assignment;<\/li>\n<li>knowingly facilitating a violation of the academic integrity policy by another person.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><strong>Fabrication<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Fabrication refers to the use of invented information or the falsification of research or other findings.\u00a0 Examples of fabrication include, but are not limited to:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<ul>\n<li>citing information not taken from the source indicated;<\/li>\n<li>citing of sources in a \u201cworks cited\u201d that were not used in that project;<\/li>\n<li>altering, stealing, and\/or falsifying research data used in research reports, theses, or dissertations;<\/li>\n<li>submitting as one\u2019s own any academic work prepared in whole or in part by others, including the use of another\u2019s identity;<\/li>\n<li>falsifying information or signatures on registration, withdrawal, or other academic forms and records.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><strong>Reporting Violations<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>In order to ensure due process, any member of the community who is aware of a violation of the Academic Integrity Policy is expected to report the incident.<\/p>\n<p>In the case of a violation of the Academic Integrity Policy by a faculty or staff member, the alleged incident should be reported to the Provost or appropriate Division Vice President who will then follow the Code of Professional Conduct procedures.<\/p>\n<p>In case of a violation of the Academic Integrity Policy by a student, a faculty member may choose to resolve the incident him\/herself or send the case to the Vice Provost for review (see below).\u00a0In either case, the faculty member reports the incident to the Vice Provost on the reporting form, which serves not only to report the incident but also to record the finding and the sanction in situations in which the faculty member chooses to resolve the case. A faculty member is encouraged to report an alleged violation of academic integrity within 30 days of the discovery of the alleged violation but must do so no later than the last day to submit grades for the term in which the alleged violation occurred. A faculty member may report an incident after that date, but only if he\/she has new evidence.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Hearing Process<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A faculty member has the option of resolving a case of an alleged violation of the Academic Integrity Policy with the student or referring the case to Vice Provost. When an unresolved case reaches the Vice Provost, he\/she will determine the factual sufficiency of the case and identify the appropriate hearing body, either the Vice Provost or the Academic Integrity Board, which is charged with hearing cases that may result in Suspension or Expulsion, cases of students found responsible for prior offenses, and other cases that the Vice Provost would like the board to review. The Vice Provost will also send to the board for review a case resolved by the faculty member that constitutes a second or subsequent violation.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Resolution by the faculty member.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A faculty member may choose to resolve the case him\/herself. The faculty member will notify the student of the allegation in writing and arrange a review conference with the student, reminding the student to review the Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure before the meeting. At the conference, the faculty member will present the evidence to the student and give the student two options: to resolve the case with the faculty member or to send the case to the Vice Provost for further review. If the student elects to resolve the case with the faculty member, the faculty member will issue a finding (i.e., responsible or not responsible for violating the Academic Integrity Policy) and, if responsible, a sanction. Sanctions may include requiring students to redo the assignment or to retake the exam with or without penalty, assigning a failing grade on the assignment or the exam, or assigning a failing grade for the course. The faculty member may also recommend that a student seek the support, for example, of the Center for Reading and Writing. The faculty member reports the incident as well as the finding and the sanction on the reporting form and submits it with all supporting documents to the Vice Provost. The Vice Provost will acknowledge receipt of the report via Ramapo e-mail. If, once the case is reported, the Vice Provost determines that the student has been found responsible for a prior offense, the Vice Provost may refer the case to the Academic Integrity Board for review. The finding and the sanction of the Academic Integrity Board override the finding and the sanction of the faculty member.<\/p>\n<p>If the student or the faculty member prefers the case to be reviewed by the Vice Provost, if the student fails to attend the scheduled conference with the faculty member, if the student contests the faculty member\u2019s finding and\/or sanction, or if the case is not otherwise resolved, the faculty member must refer the matter to the Vice Provost for further review and resolution. If the case is referred to the Vice Provost, the faculty member must provide all pertinent documentation and evidence to the Vice Provost with the specific factual allegations set forth on the reporting form.<\/p>\n<p>Once the allegation of a violation is made to the Office of the Provost, the Vice Provost (or the Vice Provost\u2019s designee) will determine the factual sufficiency of the case. The Vice Provost will also determine the Hearing Officer\/body (i.e., the Vice Provost or the Academic Integrity Board), depending on the nature and the severity of the case. If the Vice Provost (or his\/her designee) determines that the case has factual sufficiency, he\/she will charge the student with violating the Academic Integrity Policy via e-mail. The charge will include the hearing date and the hearing body.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Resolution by the Vice Provost.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Vice Provost (or designee) will hear cases that, while serious, are not egregious enough to result in Suspension or Expulsion from the College. The Vice Provost (or designee) will arrange a hearing with the student.\u00a0 At the hearing, the Vice Provost (or designee) will review the policy and procedure, present the evidence to the student, and determine the finding (responsible or not responsible for violating the Academic Integrity Policy) and, if responsible, the sanction. Sanctions may include, but are not limited to, issuing an official warning, requiring the student to redo the assignment or to retake the exam with or without penalty, requiring the student to seek the services of the Center for Reading and Writing, assigning a failing grade on the assignment or the exam, assigning a failing grade for the course, suspending the student from activity privileges, and\/or placing the student on disciplinary probation. Failure to comply with sanctions by the prescribed time may result in a registration hold or other disciplinary action. For specific definitions of these sanctions, the student should consult section N of the Student Handbook. The Vice Provost will communicate the finding and the sanction (if applicable) to the student and the faculty member via Ramapo e-mail.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Resolution by the Academic Integrity Board<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Academic Integrity Board will hear all cases of students found responsible for prior offenses as well as all other cases that, because of their egregiousness, may result in Suspension or Expulsion from the College. Egregious cases may include, but are not limited to, ones in which graduate students allegedly plagiarized any part of their theses or capstone projects. In addition, the Vice Provost (or designee) reserves the right to send to the board for review any case at any time for any reason.<\/p>\n<p>The board is \u00a0comprised of five members: two matriculated students and three faculty and\/or professional staff. A quorum consists of three members of the board. The Vice Provost appoints board members upon positive recommendation from deans (in the case of faculty), divisional vice presidents (in the case of professional staff), and any faculty member, administrator, or professional staff member (in the case of students). The Vice Provost also trains each new board member for service on the board and apprises the entire board of any approved procedural changes.<\/p>\n<p>The Vice Provost (or designee) will provide the student with the option to meet prior to the hearing to present the evidence and to the review the policy and procedure. At the hearing, the Vice Provost (or designee) will serve as Board Advisor and, in that capacity, will present evidence, comment on procedure and admissibility of evidence, manage the hearing, and protect the rights of all parties. In addition, the Board Advisor has the right to remove from the hearing any individual who disrupts the hearing or otherwise fails to follow the procedures outlined in this policy. The Board Advisor will be present during the deliberations of the board but will not vote. The board will hear testimony from, and pose questions to, the student, the complainant, and any witnesses. The student will in turn have an opportunity to question anyone who provides information at the hearing and to respond to any evidence presented against him\/her. After the hearing, the board will determine the finding (responsible or not responsible for violating the Academic Integrity Policy) and, if responsible, the sanction. Sanctions may include Suspension or Expulsion as well as the imposition of lesser sanctions as appropriate. Graduate students found responsible for plagiarizing any part of their theses or capstone projects may be sanctioned with permanent dismissal from their programs in addition to or instead of other sanctions as appropriate. Failure to comply with sanctions by the prescribed time may result in a registration hold or other disciplinary action. The Vice Provost will communicate the finding and the sanction (if applicable) to the student and the faculty member via Ramapo e-mail.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Procedural Protection<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>For any hearing conducted by the Vice Provost or the Academic Integrity Board, the student shall have the following procedural protections:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The student will receive, in addition to the reporting form, written notice of the charges that is dated at least three (3) business days prior to any scheduled hearing with the Vice Provost (or designee) and seven (7) business days prior to any scheduled hearing with the Academic Integrity Board. A student may relinquish his or her right to the notification period by signing and executing a waiver with the Office of the Provost. All correspondence will be sent to the student\u2019s Â鶹´«Ã½ e-mail address. It is the responsibility of the student to access his\/her electronic mail on a daily basis.<\/li>\n<li>The student will have reasonable access to the case file prior to and during the hearing, provided that all reviews of files must take place in the Office of the Provost. All case materials shall be retained in the Office of the Provost.<\/li>\n<li>The burden of proof shall be upon the complainant, who must establish that the person charged is responsible for the conduct violation \u201cmore likely than not\u201d based on the credible evidence. This \u201cpreponderance of the evidence\u201d standard is a lower one than the \u201cbeyond a reasonable doubt\u201d standard employed in criminal prosecutions within the court system.<\/li>\n<li>The student has the right to remain silent and not to present evidence against him\/herself.<\/li>\n<li>The student has the opportunity both to question those who provide information at the proceeding and to respond to any information being presented against her\/him. Formal rules of evidence shall not be applicable pursuant to the Code of Conduct. The Hearing Officer or Board Advisor, as applicable, shall give effect to the rules of confidentiality and privilege but shall otherwise admit all information for consideration that reasonable persons would accept as having material value. Unduly repetitious or irrelevant information may be excluded.<\/li>\n<li>Any member of the College community may, upon showing relevance and necessity, request witnesses to appear at a hearing conducted by the Vice Provost or the Academic Integrity Board. Character witnesses are not permissible in campus disciplinary proceedings. It is the responsibility of the complainant and the charged student to notify the Vice Provost, by fax, electronic mail, or in writing of the persons they wish called as witnesses at least three (3) business days before the proceeding. The Vice Provost will notify students who are identified as witnesses that their appearance is expected. It is generally expected that witnesses will appear in person to give testimony. Under rare circumstances, a signed, dated, and notarized statement of a witness who is unable to appear or who has been excused may be introduced at a proceeding. The decision as to whether such a document or any other alternative means of testimony may be used lies solely with the Vice Provost. Under extraordinary circumstances, the Vice Provost may require students to serve as witnesses. Students who refuse to appear as witnesses for either the complainant or the charged student may be charged with \u201cfailure to comply with the directions of College officials, including campus Public Safety officers, or officers of the law, acting in performance of their duties (Code H.17).\u201d Witnesses will be excluded from the proceeding during the testimony of other witnesses. All parties to the case and witnesses shall be excluded during any deliberations determining responsibility or sanctions.<\/li>\n<li>A student charged with alleged violations, complainants, and witnesses may be accompanied by an advisor, who may be an attorney, to the hearing. An advisor may provide counsel to the student but may not speak on his\/her behalf nor appear in lieu of the student. A student who wishes to have an attorney as an advisor must inform the Vice Provost, in writing by fax, electronic mail, or by telephone at least three (3) business days before the scheduled hearing. When informed that an attorney will be present at the proceeding, the College may consult with General Counsel and\/or the New Jersey State Attorney General\u2019s Office for advice on whether legal counsel for the College should also be present.<\/li>\n<li>In accordance with current guidelines established in the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), the New Jersey Open Public Records Act (OPRA) and implemented by Â鶹´«Ã½, the record of most disciplinary proceeding\u2019s findings is not open to the public.<\/li>\n<li>In cases in which a student charged does not appear after proper notice and has no justifiable reason for non-appearance, the finding will be an \u201cuncontested admission of violation,\u201d and an appropriate sanction will be imposed.<\/li>\n<li>A student will be subjected to the College\u2019s judicial process if the alleged violation occurred while s\/he was a registered student. In cases where a student charged withdraws from the College prior to the disciplinary proceeding, the judicial process will not be deferred.<\/li>\n<li>Hearings will not be postponed unless under unusual circumstances set forth in the \u201cJustifiable Excuse\u201d policy for non-appearance. The policy is available in the Office of the Provost. The process is designed to be educational in nature and support the student speaking for herself\/himself; therefore, only the responding student may make a request to postpone a hearing. Requests by third parties, including counsel, will not be considered.<\/li>\n<li>Where Suspension or Expulsion is a possible sanction, proceedings will be tape-recorded. Other proceedings may be recorded at the discretion of the College. These recordings are solely for the purpose of providing assistance to the Hearing Officer, the members of the Academic Integrity Board, and the appeals officer in their deliberations. These recordings remain the property of the College and constitute an official record of the proceeding.<\/li>\n<li>Final decisions and a listing of any sanctions imposed will be noted by the Hearing Officer or the Board Advisor, who will be responsible for ensuring such information is conveyed in writing to the charged student and to all others as deemed necessary or appropriate. The finding will be e-mailed to the charged student no later than ten (10) business days following the date of the hearing. Notification of others with a need or right to know under the law will only take place after all possible appeal processes have upheld the finding.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>College Honors Program<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If the student is found to have violated the Academic Integrity Policy and is enrolled in the College Honors Program, the Director of the College Honors Program will be notified in order to review the student\u2019s status in the program.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Final Grades<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>When a student is suspected of academic dishonesty and the case is not resolved prior to the official submission of final grades to the Registrar\u2019s Office, the Vice Provost will assign a Z grade for the course involved, using a Z grade form. Once a Z grade has been issued, the procedures described above will be followed.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Repeat \/ Fail (RF) Option<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>If a student receives an F in a course in which an Academic Integrity violation occurred and a sanction was imposed, the course is not eligible for RF grading.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Appeal Procedures<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A student who is found responsible of violating the Academic Integrity Policy may appeal the decision of the Academic Integrity Board only if certain circumstances exist. The student may not appeal the decision of the faculty member or the Vice Provost. Appeals may be made only if:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>sanctions are grossly disproportionate to the offense, and\/or<\/li>\n<li>specific procedural errors or errors in interpretations of College regulations were substantial, and\/or<\/li>\n<li>new and significant evidence becomes available which could not have been discovered by a properly conducted investigation prior to or during the original hearing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The following procedures apply to appeals:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>An appeal must be submitted by the student in writing to the Provost within five (5) business days from the date of the letter of finding.\u00a0 Failure to appeal within the allotted time will render the original decision final and conclusive.<\/li>\n<li>The Provost reserves the right to hear the appeal and will reject any appeal that does not offer clear evidence that one of the heretofore mentioned circumstances applies.<\/li>\n<li>In the case in which an appeal is filed in writing, the imposition of the sanction will be delayed.<\/li>\n<li>Appeals shall be decided only upon the record of the original proceeding and upon the written letter of appeal.\u00a0 Reversal or modification of sanction, or a finding of not responsible, may only occur if one of the heretofore mentioned circumstances applies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Retention of Records<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Case files will be retained in the Office of the Provost until five (5) years after graduation or termination.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a class=\"btn\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ramapo.edu\/catalog-2022-2023\/academic-policies\/\">Back to Undergraduate Academic Policies<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All members of the community are expected to be honest and forthright in their academic endeavors.\u00a0 Since violations of academic integrity erode community confidence and undermine the pursuit of truth and knowledge at the College, academic dishonesty is not acceptable.
