Academic Dishonesty
Cheating and Plagiarism are not tolerated. Full judicial procedures
will be aggressively pursued. University policies (in part)
describe academic dishonesty as: Cheating and Plagiarism 1.0
Institutions of higher education are founded to impart knowledge,
seek truth, and encourage oneís development for the good of
society. University students shall thus be intellectually
and morally obliged to pursue their course of studies with
honesty and integrity. Therefore, in preparing and submitting
materials for academic courses and in taking examinations,
a student shall not yield to cheating or plagiarism, which
not only violate academic standards but also make the offender
liable to penalties explicit in Title 5 of the California
Code of Regulations, part 5, sec. 41301(a), as follows: 41301.
Expulsion, Suspension and Probation of Students. Following
procedures consonant with due process established pursuant
to Section 41304, any student of a campus may be expelled,
suspended, placed on probation or given a lesser sanction
for one or more of the following causes that must be campus
related: (a) Cheating or plagiarism in connection with an
academic program at a campus "A student who has committed
either offense may be subject to University disciplinary action."
