b. What is
Xavier University's stand on plagiarism?
Xavier
University has a policy on acadmic honesty:
Academic Honesty
The pursuit of truth demands high standards of personal honesty.
Academic and professional life requires a trust based upon integrity
of the written and spoken word. Accordingly, violations of certain
standards of ethical behavior will not be tolerated at Xavier
University. These include theft, cheating, plagiarism, unauthorized
assistance in assignments and tests, unauthorized copying of
computer software, the falsification of results and material
submitted in reports or admission and registration documents,
and the falsification of any academic record including letters
of recommendation. All work submitted
for academic evaluation must be the student's own. Certainly,
the activities of other scholars will influence all students.
However, the direct and unattributed use of another's efforts
is prohibited as is the use of any work untruthfully submitted
as one's own. Penalties for violations of this policy
may include one or more of the following: a zero for that assignment
or test, an "F" in the course, and expulsion from
the University. The dean of the college in which the student
is enrolled is to be informed in writing of all such incidents,
though the teacher has full authority to assign the grade for
the assignment, test, or course. If disputes of interpretation
arise, the student, faculty member, and chair should attempt
to resolve the difficulty. If this is unsatisfactory, the dean
will rule in the matter. As a final appeal, the academic vice
president will call a committee of tenured faculty for the purpose
of making a final determination. |
