Defining Academic Dishonesty:  For the complete document, see the Campus Handbook, especially the positive, proactive definitions of academic honesty by Professors Joe Morton and Bart Houseman.  The following section (113-114), revised in 1999, contains the specific language usually relevant to discriminating between allowable and intolerable academic behaviors.  Section II is most relevant to Writing Program courses.

Reporting Academic Dishonesty:  For the complete document, see the Campus Handbook, especially the positive, proactive definitions of academic honesty by Professors Joe Morton and Bart Houseman.  This section (115), revised in 1999, explains how cases are reported.  Note especially the careful attention to due process in the treatment of the accused as a "defendant," and the advantages given a student who self-reports and pleads guilty in a first offense (A.1).
