Academic Honesty Liaison

The academic honesty liaisons provide educational outreach to the Arts, Sciences & Engineering (AS&E) community, make policy recommendations to AS&E’s governing bodies and administrators, and offer confidential counseling to students and faculty about how the academic honesty process works.

For students, the honesty liaisons are the best first point of contact for confidential advising on:

  • How the academic honesty process works/what to expect
  • What the policy says about their responsibility as a student
  • What the policy says about their instructors’ responsibilities
  • How to draft case file, hearing, and/or appeals statements
  • How to educate and protect themselves from future accusations
  • Questions such as, should I sign/accept an instructor resolution with penalty form or a warning letter if my instructor has offered one?

For faculty and staff, the honesty liaisons can provide confidential advising and help clarify topics such as:

  • What the academic honesty policy says about their responsibilities
  • Whether a penalty they are considering offering aligns with the policy
  • What to do and how to talk with students they suspect of having violated the policy
  • How to administer honor pledges in their exams or assignments, develop course-specific honesty guidelines, design assignments to encourage honest, independent completion of work; and so on
