The Judicial Board has five students, selected by
ASUN, 3nd four faculty members, selected by the Faculty
Senate and approved by the chancellor. The board's
job is to decide whether or not the behavior in question .
merits disciplinary action, Simpson-Kirkland said.
"I meet the student prior to the hearing to
inform him of his rights," she said. "At the hearing, the
board can ask questions, and the student tells his side of
the story. Then the board makes a decision."
The judgments passed include five basic penalties:
university warning, where the student simply is warned
not to cheat again; probation, where the student is
deprived of the right to hold office; behavioral
requirement, where he must perform a given task;
suspension, where the student must leave the university
for a semester or a year; and expulsion, which is indefinite.
Among the cases tried in 1 9& 1 -82 , three were
dismied, and the others resulted in five warnings, two
behavioral requirements, seven probations and three
suspensions, Simpson-Kirkland said.
Although there may be no immediate way to stop a
student from cheating if he is determined to do so, there
are ways to help alleviate some related problems. Studying
is the key ingredient.
"We get so hung up because we don't know something,
that we can't ask for help," Simpson-Kirkland said.
"Students shouldn't be afraid to take advantage of tutors
and to talk to their teachers or attend study groups."
As far as the teacher's role is concerned, the dean's
office must let the faculty know that it supports them,
she said. Various departments have different policies
regarding academic dishonesty.
"We encourage teachers to make a clear statement in
their syllabus or during the first week of class," Frederick
Link, chairman of the English department said. "They
should say how they are going to treat academic
dishonesty."
Link's only concern is that the teachers understand
what the law is and what their options are, he said.
Most plagiarizers are not malicious in their actions.
"They usually plagiarize if they don't know any
better," he said, "or if they're under a great deal of
pressure. They're either lazy or desperate."
Plagiarism is not particularly bothersome to him,
Link said.
"My own view is that plagiarism is its own
punishment," he explained.
Patrice M. Berger, professor of history, said he thinks
it is partly the teacher's responsibility to guard against
academic dishonesty.
"There's no question that the faculty has to try to
maintain the integrity of the student's work," he said.
"To allow one student to deceive is to do an injustice to
other students and to the student himself."
Berger said he prefers to handle cheating on an
individual, private level.
"I don't know how much better the lesson is learned
if the student would appear before a judiciary board,"
Berger said.
Even though cheating may sometimes appear to be
the easiest solution, Simpson-Kirkland said that hard work
has its own rewards.
"If people would just take the time to work instead
of devising ways to beat the system," she said, "their
energy would be well spent."
