Do OU students takeintegrity seriously?

In the 2004 assessment, a large number o

students agreed that even helping someone

else cheat is itsel a serious orm o academic

misconduct. Forms o assisted cheating include

providing assignment answers, completing group

coursework, or supplying lab results. In the samesurvey, a majority o students supported OUs

current academic integrity system.

The University of OklahomaStudent Association HonorCouncil

In 2003, the University o Oklahoma Student

Association created an integrity pledge as an

indication o students commitment to integrity.

That same year, OU students created an honor

council to be their voice in the academic integrity

system. The Council is composed o studentsrepresenting the various colleges on campus. It

meets regularly to advise the Ofce o the Provost

on matters o academic integrity policy at the

university. Representatives also serve on academic

misconduct boards and represent the university at

national level conerences concerning academic

integrity. The council advisors include Assistant

Provost Dr. Greg Heiser and consulting aculty

members.

The University of OklahomaAcademic Misconduct System

A student charged with violating the Academic

Misconduct Code always gets the chance to

respond. In less serious cases, an admonition

(ormal warning) will be given by the instructor

along with a grade penalty. In more serious cases,

the instructor will fle an academic misconduct

charge. I guilt is established, either through a

hearing or by the students own admission, both

a grade penalty and a disciplinary penalty will be

imposed. The grade penalty may be as severe as

an F in the course. Institutional penalties includereprimand, suspension, and expulsion. Suspension

and expulsion are noted on the students

transcript.

The Academic MiscLife is full of critical decisions.Life at OU is no different.

Youll be challenged with many signifcant choices:

whether to go Greek, which classes to take, whether

to study frst or just hang out. One choice that

shouldnt be hard is upholding your integrity by not

cheating or helping those who cheat. Academicdishonesty hurts all o us both in the immediate

and the long term. Ater all, shouldnt the greatest

satisaction rom college be earning ones degree

honestly?

Do OU faculty take academicintegrity seriously?

In 2004, The University o Oklahoma participated

in an ongoing nationwide assessment o academic

integrity on college campuses conducted by

leading integrity researcher Don McCabe o The

Center or Academic Integrity. In the survey, an

overwhelming majority o OU proessors agreed:

aculty are vigilant in detecting and reporting

academic misconduct. In the 2004-2005 academic

year, there were 49 expulsions and suspensions or

cheating, plagiarism, and other acts o academic

misconduct.
