Committee on Academic Misconduct

2. Duty and Jurisdiction of The Committee on Academic Misconduc

2.1   A duty of this Committee is to investigate or establish procedures for the investigation of all reported cases of student academic misconduct and to decide upon suitable disciplinary action.
(See University Rule 3335-5-487)

2.2   The Committee does not have jurisdiction over cases involving student academic misconduct in professional colleges having a published honor code. These colleges follow their own codes in investigating reported cases of academic misconduct and in determining suitable disciplinary action. When the action taken involves suspension, dismissal, or entry on the student’s permanent record, a recommendation to that effect shall be made to the Senior Vice President and Provost for review and action. In the course of following its own procedures, any professional college may consult with The Committee on Academic Misconduct.
(See 3335-5-487; 3335-31-02)

2.3   The Committee may, at its discretion, refer cases to the University Judicial Panel if it determines that the alleged academic misconduct is incidental to some other misconduct.
