It can include the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Utilizing or obtaining Teacher\u2019s editions or publications not intended for student use.<\/li>\n<li>Plagiarism: Representing the ideas of another as your own; not giving credit to the source for words<br \/>\npresented as being your own work.<\/li>\n<li>Fabrication: Faking the data in an academic exercise; presenting false information in an assignment;<br \/>\ndeliberately deviating from the truth.<\/li>\n<li>Deception: Giving fabricated information to an instructor in regard to academic work; providing a false<br \/>\nreason for missing a deadline or lying about submitted work.<\/li>\n<li>Cheating: Attempting to obtain an unfair academic advantage by violating accepted rules or standards.<\/li>\n<li>Sabotage: Stopping others from completing their work; a deliberate act of destruction to academic<br \/>\nmaterials or disrupting an experiment or assignment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>All acts of academic dishonesty shall be reported to the Vice President of Student Services as a behavioral breach of\u00a0conduct. All work that results from such acts will receive a grade of \u201c0.\u201d No student shall have the opportunity to\u00a0make up work for which an act of academic dishonesty has been committed. All work for which the student has\u00a0been assigned a \u201c0\u201d for cheating will be calculated into the student\u2019s final grade. In addition, faculty may report\u00a0academic dishonesty to the Vice President of Student Services with a recommendation to suspend or remove the\u00a0student from the course as a penalty for their behavior. If after reviewing the situation with the student, the Vice\u00a0President concludes that a disciplinary action is appropriate, the administrator shall deliver one or more of the\u00a0following types of disciplinary action.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Warning<\/li>\n<li>Reprimand<\/li>\n<li>Disciplinary Probation<\/li>\n<li>Suspension<\/li>\n<li>Disciplinary Suspension<\/li>\n<li>Expulsion<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The Vice President of Student Services keeps a record of all reported violations of academic dishonesty. Depending\u00a0on the severity and\/or frequency of reports for a given student, the Vice President of Student Services may\u00a0recommend that these acts become a part of the student\u2019s permanent record. This record may be used as a basis for\u00a0removing a student from the institution or barring a student from returning to the institution. The Vice President of\u00a0Student Services reviews an alleged violation and determines if the report is fair and just, and if not, the Vice<br \/>\nPresident can then act to establish fairness and due process for each case.<\/p>\n<p>The student can appeal the Vice President\u2019s decision to the Disciplinary Appeal Committee. This hearing panel is\u00a0composed of two members of the ASB, two faculty appointed by the Academic Senate President, and one\u00a0certificated employee appointed by the Superintendent\/President of Taft College. If the student decides to appeal\u00a0the decision of the Disciplinary Appeal Committee, they can appeal to the Board of Trustees of Taft College.\u00a0It is the goal of this policy to maintain the integrity of the educational process while also respecting students\u2019 rights<br \/>\nof fair due process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Academic Honesty  Academic dishonesty is defined by the college as any act (such as cheating on exams, quizzes, projects, plagiarism,\u00a0fabrication, or falsifying documents) by any student that would gain that student or any other student an unfair\u00a0advantage or disadvantage (sabotage) in grading, graduating from the college, or qualifying for entrance into any\u00a0academic program. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":22016,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-22092","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.taftcollege.edu\/faculty-and-staff\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/22092","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.taftcollege.edu\/faculty-and-staff\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.taftcollege.edu\/faculty-and-staff\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.taftcollege.edu\/faculty-and-staff\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.taftcollege.edu\/faculty-and-staff\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22092"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/archive.taftcollege.edu\/faculty-and-staff\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/22092\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22346,"href":"https:\/\/archive.taftcollege.edu\/faculty-and-staff\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/22092\/revisions\/22346"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.taftcollege.edu\/faculty-and-staff\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/22016"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.taftcollege.edu\/faculty-and-staff\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22092"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
