| Overview |
Combat Academic Dishonesty & Create a Culture of Integrity in Virtual & In-person Classrooms
Join us on March 2, 2021 and in just 90 minutes, you and your staff will hear from expert presenter – University Dean of Students at the University of Virginia’s Dr. Allen Groves – who works closely with the University of Virginia’s student-run, 145-year-old honor code. He will break down everything you need to know to establish or manage a code designed to maintain institutional values of integrity, trust and honesty, including in the virtual (online) classroom necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
You’ll review everything you must consider related to establishing or managing a system for addressing allegations of plagiarism, theft and other forms of dishonesty including:
-
The composition of any jury panel
- Procedures to be followed to ensure appropriate due process
- Standard of proof to be applied
- Rights of appeal
- Whether students may be represented by legal counsel in proceedings
- The scope of jurisdiction for the system
- The limitations period within which actions may be brought
- Whether or not to employ a single or multiple sanction system
- Whether or not to employ other optional procedures short of trial to resolve an allegation
- Training/orientation of students and faculty on the system
- Strategies for obtaining community buy-in to the system
Challenge your students to maintain a culture of integrity and a community of trust, despite the decrease in honesty and respect nationwide. You’ll improve your campus community overall – and graduate students with values that put your institution’s mission into action.
