the faculty member and include
penalties such as:
i) resubmission of an alternative
assignment
or test
ii) F on the assignment/test
iii) F for the course grade
The severity of academic penalty is
commensurate with the academically
dishonest event. It is the faculty
member's responsibility to determine
the academic penalty and if an
informal or a formal course of action is
required.
2. In cases where an academically
dishonest event is deemed inadvertent
or inconsequential, the faculty
member may choose to resolve the
academically dishonest event
informally with the student. The
informal discourse between the faculty
member and the student should
address the seriousness in how the
COB views academic dishonesty,
inform the student that it is their
responsibility to know what constitutes
academic dishonesty, and inform the
student that any future academic
dishonesty will not be tolerated.
Academic penalties in this case should
not have a material impact on the
student's final grade in the class.
3. In cases where an academically
dishonest event requires a material
academic penalty, such as assigning
an F for a major assignment/test, the
faculty member may resolve the
matter directly with the student. In this
case within a timely and reasonable
period, the faculty member must
inform the student of the academic
dishonesty allegation and present to
the student a letter stating the
allegation, documenting any
associated evidence, and detailing the
academic penalty. The faculty member
must inform the student that the letter
will be placed on permanent file in the
COB's Dean's Office, and that any
Academic Unit Information College of Business
Summer 2010 – Spring 2011
subsequent academic dishonesty will
likely result in administrative penalties,
(see 4f). If the student agrees to the
terms of the letter as evidenced by the
student's signature on the letter, the
faculty member shall forward a copy of
the letter to the Department Chair. The
Department Chair shall deliver the
letter to the Dean's Office and review
the academic dishonesty file to
determine if the student has
committed any previous acts that may
require further administrative
penalties. The Department Chair shall
report to the Dean of the COB if further
action is needed.
4. When procedures outlined in
paragraph 3 are inappropriate,
insufficient or unacceptable to either
the faculty member or the student the
following formal procedures provide
due process.
a. Except under extraordinary
circumstances, within ten school days
of informing the student of the alleged
academic dishonesty event, the faculty
member will prepare a written
statement that describes and
documents the academic dishonesty
allegation. The statement must include
all supporting evidence, and the
faculty member's recommended
academic penalties. The faculty
member's statement is to be
submitted to the Faculty Co-Chair of
the Undergraduate Studies Committee,
(hereafter referred to as Co-Chair).
b. Except under extraordinary
circumstances, within fifteen school
days of receiving the faculty member's
statement, the Co-chair will provide to
the student through registered mail a
letter detailing the academic
dishonesty allegation. This
correspondence will include notice that
a hearing to investigate the academic
dishonesty allegation is to be
scheduled at the earliest possible
convenience for all persons involved.
c. The hearing will be organized and
administered by the Co-chair. The Co-
University of Louisville Undergraduate Catalog
chair will appoint a hearing committee,
which will consist of the Co-chair plus
two COB faculty members that are
currently serving on the
Undergraduate Studies Committee.
The student may be assisted at the
hearing by an academic student
advisor of his/her choosing. A request
for student advisor assistance must be
made through written communication
to the Co-chair.
d. The student may waive the right to
the hearing by admitting to the charge
of academic dishonesty in a signed
written statement delivered to the Co-
chair of the Undergraduate Studies
Committee prior to the date of the
hearing.
e. At the hearing, the faculty member
and the student will each be provided
an opportunity to present oral
testimony, written evidence, and any
other evidence. The burden of
establishing the student's guilt is the
responsibility of the faculty member
making the allegation.
f. Except under extraordinary
circumstances, within fifteen school
days of the hearing, the hearing
committee will render a decision on
the academic dishonesty allegation
and produce a written report of its
findings. The Co-chair will notify the
student and faculty member in writing
of the hearing committee's findings. If
the student is found to be guilty of the
allegation, academic penalties will be
imposed, and if appropriate,
administrative penalties will be
recommended. The hearing
committee's decisions on academic
penalties are final. All guilty findings
will be placed on file under academic
dishonesty events with the COB Dean's
Office. In the case of a guilty finding
the Co-chair will review the file of
academic dishonesty events to
determine if this is a first or a repeat
offense.
A repeat offense will likely result in a
recommendation for administrative
Academic Unit Information College of Business
Summer 2010 – Spring 2011
penalties. Administrative penalties in
the case of suspension or expulsion
from the COB are imposed by the Dean
of the COB, or by the Provost in the
case of suspension or expulsion from
the University.
g. In the case of recommended
administrative penalties, the Dean of
the COB shall review the hearing
committee's report and issue a
decision regarding imposing COB
administrative penalties and whether
any University-wide penalties will be
recommended to the Provost. Except
under extraordinary circumstances,
within 15 school days of receiving the
hearing committee's report, the Dean
of the COB shall notify the student, the
faculty member originating the
academic dishonesty allegation, and
the Co-chair of the hearing committee
of its decision. The Dean of the COB
shall forward any recommended
University-wide penalties to the
Provost.
h. If the student fails to appear before
the hearing committee, the hearing
will be held in the student's absence
and a final decision rendered. If the
faculty member making the allegation
of academic dishonesty fails to appear,
the charges will be dropped.
Unforeseen and uncontrollable events
that prevent an individual's
appearance at the hearing will be
considered prior to making a final
decision.
i. In the case where multiple students
are involved with the academic
dishonesty allegation, each student
will be dealt with individually, but the
composition of the hearing committee
will remain the same for all students
involved with the alleged event.
j. Any student who believes the
processing or final disposition of a
charge of academic dishonesty was
unfair may initiate a grievance under
the Academic Grievance Procedure as
defined in the Academic Policies and
Procedures of the Undergraduate
