B-4 1 BILL 06/07/04 APPROVAL OF ENACTMENT OF HONOR SYSTEM 2 INVESTIGATION AND ADJUDICATION PROCEDURES 3 IN PLACE OF HONOR SYSTEM BY-LAWS 4 5 BY: Ashley Boldt and Gavin Couvelha 6 7 WHEREAS, The Kansas State University Student Governing Association sanctioned the 8 implementation of the Honor System in Bill 96/97/76; 9 10 WHEREAS, Bill 96/97/76 states that any changes to the Honor System must be approved by 11 Student Senate, subject to approval by the Student Body President; 12 13 WHEREAS, Faculty Senate created the Committee to Examine the Honor System Constitution 14 and By-Laws; 15 16 WHEREAS, The committee has presented its report concerning the Honor System By-Laws; 17 18 WHEREAS, The report supports the enactment of the Investigation and Adjudication 19 Procedures in place of the By-Laws; and 20 21 WHEREAS, Student Senate must approve the recommended changes. 22 23 BE IT ENACTED THAT: 24 25 SECTION 1. The following Honor System Investigation and Adjudication Procedures is 26 approved by the Kansas State University Student Governing Association: 27 28 Honor System 29 Investigation and Adjudication Procedures 30 (Formerly Honor System Bylaws) 31 32 Kansas State University has an Honor System based on personal integrity, which is presumed to 33 be sufficient assurance in academic matters that one's work is performed honestly and without 34 unauthorized assistance. All full and part-time students enrolled in undergraduate and graduate 35 courses on-campus, off-campus, and via distance learning, by registration in those courses, 36 acknowledge the jurisdiction of the Honor System. 37 38 A. Purpose 39 40 The Investigation and Adjudication Procedures have been developed for the purpose of 41 administering the Kansas State University Honor System. As set out in Article X of the Honor 42 System Constitution, the Investigation and Adjudication Procedures were approved by the Honor 43 Council, Student Senate, and Faculty Senate in 2006 and are subsequently subject to periodic 44 review by those three governance bodies at 5 year intervals beginning in 2010. Interim revisions 45 to the Investigation and Adjudication Procedures may be made upon approval by a 2/3 vote of 46 the Honor Council and upon approval by the Provost. The Investigation and Adjudication 47 Procedures must be posted at the Honor System website (http://www.k-state.edu/honor) and 48 updated regularly.
B-5 49 50 B. Reporting Honor Pledge Violations 51 52 Faculty and students report violations of the Honor Pledge to the Honor System Director by 53 filling out the Honor System Violation Report form available at http://www.k- 54 state.edu/honor/faculty/reportform.html. When the report is made by a student, the Director will 55 consult with the faculty member who is the instructor of the course about filing an Honor Pledge 56 Violation Report. 57 58 Faculty members are urged to report the alleged violation to the Office of the Honor System 59 when: 60 61 a. the faculty member alleges a violation and imposes an academic sanction, (An 62 academic sanction is any action that would lower a student’s grade on an 63 assignment.) 64 or b. the faculty member alleges a violation and requests an investigation. The 65 case investigation concludes once a decision has been made as to whether there is 66 sufficient information to proceed to the adjudication stage. 67 68 Faculty members who allege an Honor Pledge violation need not report an alleged violation to 69 the Office of the Honor System when: 70 71 a. a faculty member alleges a violation and issues a warning but imposes no 72 academic sanction; 73 or b. a faculty member alleges a violation, issues a warning, provides the 74 student an opportunity to correct the transgression, but imposes no academic 75 sanction; 76 or c. a faculty member alleges a violation, issues a warning, provides an 77 opportunity for the student to redo the assignment or take the exam again, but 78 imposes no academic sanction. 79 80 Honor Pledge Violation reports shall be submitted to the Honor System Director within twenty 81 (20) class days of the violation or of the discovery of the violation. In certain situations, it is 82 acceptable for a verbal notification to be given within the notification period. This situation 83 might occur when a faculty member is conducting an internal investigation. A written report 84 must follow the verbal report within a reasonable amount of time. 85 86 Faculty members have two options for filing an Honor Pledge Violation Report. Option One 87 allows the faculty member to conduct her/his own investigation and identify the specific sanction 88 for the violation. In this situation, Alleged Violators may contest only the allegation. If they do 89 so, the case is turned over to the Honor System for investigation and adjudication. Option Two 90 allows the faculty member to turn the case directly over to the Honor System for investigation 91 and adjudication. The faculty member may recommend a sanction. Alleged Violators may 92 contest the allegation and propose an alternate sanction during the adjudication phase, but the 93 Honor System Hearing Panel makes the final determination of the sanction. 94 Once a report has been filed by the faculty member, hereafter referred to as the Faculty Reporter, 95 the Director notifies the Alleged Violator(s) of the allegation, of the right to review the Violation 96 report, and of the right to contest the allegation. The Faculty Reporter and the Alleged Violator
B-6 97 are encouraged to resolve the issue prior to proceeding to the investigation process. If the issue is 98 resolved, a report of the agreed upon resolution is filed with the Office of the Honor System. If 99 the matter is not resolved, the Director initiates a case investigation. 100 101 C. Investigating Honor Pledge Violations 102 103 When the Director initiates a case investigation, the Associate Director appoints a member of the 104 Honor Council or the Honesty & Integrity Peer Educators (HIPE) to serve as an Advisor to the 105 Alleged Violator during the investigation and adjudication process, if the violation proceeds to 106 adjudication. The Alleged Violator may at any time appoint someone else to serve as his/her 107 Advisor, by notifying the Director. 108 109 The Faculty Reporter may, in consultation with the Director, withdraw the allegation at any time 110 during the investigation process. Such withdrawal will cause the investigation to be terminated. 111 In the event that a report is withdrawn, the Director shall ensure that all documentation is sealed 112 and retained in the Office of the Honor System. 113 114 The Director appoints two members of the Honor Council (one faculty and one student) to serve 115 as Case Investigators. If the Alleged Violator is a graduate student, the student Case Investigator 116 is a graduate student and the faculty Case Investigator is a member of the Graduate Faculty. 117 118 The Director arranges for the Case Investigators to meet separately with the Faculty Reporter and 119 the Alleged Violator to review the Violation Report and other relevant information to determine 120 if it appears an Honor Pledge violation has occurred. If needed, the Director arranges a meeting 121 between the Case Investigators and any witness(es) as part of the investigative process. 122 123 During the course of the investigation the Alleged Violator is advised not to contact the Faculty 124 Reporter to discuss aspects of the case. In the same manner, the Faculty Reporter is advised not 125 to discuss the case with the Alleged Violator. Normal academic contact is permitted, however. In 126 the event that the Director feels the need to protect the Faculty Reporter, Alleged Violator, or any 127 witnesses involved in the investigation, the Director may take appropriate steps to protect the 128 integrity of the process. 129 130 The Case Investigators submit a report to the Director that concludes whether there IS or IS NOT 131 sufficient information to proceed to an adjudication hearing. If the Case Investigators conclude 132 that there IS NOT sufficient information to proceed to a hearing, the Director notifies the 133 Alleged Violator and the Faculty Reporter that no further action will be taken. The records are 134 sealed and retained in the Office of the Honor System. If the Case Investigators conclude that 135 there IS sufficient information to proceed to a hearing, the Director informs the Alleged Violator 136 and the Faculty Reporter and appoints an Honor Council Hearing Panel. 137 138 D. Adjudicating Honor Pledge Violations 139 140 When an Honor Pledge violation has proceeded to the adjudication stage, the Director appoints a 141 panel of six members drawn from the membership of the Honor Council. Each panel consists of 142 five voting members and one non-voting chairperson. If the Alleged Violator is a graduate 143 student, student members of the hearing panel are graduate students and faculty members are 144 members of the Graduate Faculty. The Director appoints the chair, alternating in successive
B-7 145 cases between a faculty member and a student member of the Honor Council. Voting 146 membership of hearing panels consists of three students and two faculty members. 147 148 Hearing panels are normally convened within ten class days of the conclusion of the 149 investigation. During the summer as well as January, May and August Intersessions, the Director 150 may postpone Honor Council hearings until the beginning of the subsequent fall or spring 151 semester. At the request of the Alleged Violator, the Director can convene a Special Hearing 152 Panel whose make-up may deviate from that prescribed in this document in order to facilitate 153 resolution of an alleged violation delayed by either Intersessions or the summer. Those notified 154 of the date, time, and place of the hearing are the Alleged Violator and the HIPE Advisor, the 155 Faculty Reporter, the Case Investigators, and any witnesses. 156 157 In preparation for the hearing, the Director prepares copies of all necessary documentation 158 required by the Hearing Panelists, Faculty Reporter, and/or Alleged Violator. A copy of the Case 159 Investigation Report and supporting documentation will be made available to the Alleged 160 Violator and Faculty Reporter at least three (3) class days prior to the hearing date. The Alleged 161 Violator will sign a record of notification acknowledging that he/she received the information 162 and will honor expectations of confidentiality. 163 164 Alleged violations filed under this policy are confidential and should not be disclosed to anyone 165 who does not have a need to know. The University cannot guarantee absolute confidentiality 166 because the University is obligated to investigate complaints. Supervisors and administrators are 167 obligated to keep complaints confidential and protect the privacy of all parties to the extent 168 possible consistent with preventing future acts of academic dishonesty, providing a remedy to 169 persons injured and allowing Alleged Violators to reply to a complaint if any disciplinary action 170 is anticipated. Alleged Violators as well as student witnesses are similarly bound by this 171 expectation of confidentiality. Complaint information may be disclosed to state or federal anti- 172 discrimination agencies for investigations and during litigation. 173 174 At the hearing, the Alleged Violator represents himself/herself. During the hearing, the Alleged 175 Violator may consult as necessary with his/her Advisor. Voluntary failure by the Alleged 176 Violator to appear before the Hearing Panel neither halts nor interrupts the proceedings. 177 178 The Director prepares the hearing panel script to be followed during the hearing. The script 179 includes a specific sequence for introducing information by each of the involved parties. The 180 Faculty Reporter, Alleged Violator, and Case Investigators are to inform the Director of any 181 witnesses to be introduced during the hearing at least 3 class days prior to the scheduled hearing. 182 The script is read by the Hearing Panel Chair. 183 184 The Hearing Panel Chair accepts for consideration all information that reasonable persons would 185 accept as having evidentiary value during hearing panel proceedings. Character witnesses and 186 personal references are not permitted. Formal rules of evidence are not applied. 187 Whether an Honor Pledge Violation occurred is determined by a simple majority of the five 188 voting members on the Hearing Panel. 189 The decision of the Honor Council Hearing Panel is reported to the Director, who then notifies in 190 writing the Alleged Violator, Faculty Reporter, the Faculty Reporter’s Department Chair or 191 Head, and (in the event there is a sanction of XF) the Dean of the Faculty Reporter’s and 192 Violator’s College of the Hearing Panel’s decision. In a case involving a graduate student the
B-8 193 Director will notify the above individuals as well as the Dean of the Graduate School and the 194 student’s Graduate Program Coordinator. If the hearing Panel determines that a violation of the 195 Honor Pledge occurred, it imposes or upholds the appropriate sanction. 196 197 All hearings are recorded and kept as part of the permanent record of the adjudication 198 procedures. Records are confidential and subject to applicable privacy laws. Records are made 199 available to authorized parties upon the determination of the Director. 200 201 E. Sanctions 202 203 The standard sanction for an Honor Pledge violation shall be the assignment of an XF on the 204 student’s transcript. The XF denotes failure in the course due to academic dishonesty – an Honor 205 Pledge violation. If a sanction includes an XF, the Director shall contact the Registrar’s office 206 and authorize the grade of XF when: 207 208 • the Violator does not contest the allegation, or 209 • the case has been adjudicated, the hearing panel has issued a sanction, and the Violator 210 chooses not to appeal the Hearing Panel’s decision, or 211 • the time period for contesting the violation has expired and the Violator has failed to 212 contact the Director. 213 214 When the appeals process is initiated immediately following the hearing, the Director shall 215 postpone the grade change until such time as the appeals process is resolved. 216 217 If a sanction includes the requirement that the Violator complete the Development and Integrity 218 course, described at the Honor System web site
B-9 240 241 F. Appeal of a Hearing Panel Decision 242 243 Appeals are to be based on procedural irregularities or substantial new information. Appeals 244 based on procedural irregularities must be presented in writing to the Director within 15 days of 245 an Honor Council Hearing Panel decision. Appeals based on substantial new information must 246 be presented in writing to the Director within one year from the date of an Honor Council 247 Hearing Panel decision. The Director determines whether an appeal based on substantial new 248 information or procedural irregularities might have impacted the investigation or adjudication 249 procedure. Following this determination, the Director may: 250 251 1. reconvene the Hearing Panel to hear new information, or 252 2. appoint a new Hearing Panel and conduct a new hearing, or 253 3. appoint new Case Investigators and a new Hearing Panel, or 254 4. take such other action as the Director feels appropriate. 255 256 The Director then notifies the Faculty Reporter and Alleged Violator in writing of the decision 257 and the process to be followed. 258 259 G. Conflict of Interest 260 261 Members of the Honor Council involved in the investigation or adjudication procedures of a case 262 will immediately notify the Director of any conflicts of interest. The Director may remove an 263 Honor Council member from the investigation and adjudication process if sufficient information 264 exists to support a conflict of interest. 265 266 SECTION 2. The Kansas State University Student Governing Association approves the 267 enactment of the Honor System Investigation and Adjudication Procedures in 268 place of the Honor System By-Laws. 269 270 SECTION 3. Upon passage by the Student Senate and signature of the Student Body President, 271 a copy of this bill shall be sent to President Jon Wefald, Provost Duane Nellis, 272 Faculty Senate President Roger Adams, Faculty Senate Academic Affairs 273 Committee Chair Fred Fairchild, and Committee to Examine the Honor System 274 Constitution and By-Laws Chair Jackie Spears. 275 276 THIS BILL PASSED STUDENT SENATE ON SEPTEMBER 14, 2006 277 BY A ROLL CALL VOTE OF 57-0-0
