  • Adapted with Permission from the Westmont College Plagiarism Policy)
    Plagiarism: pp. 67-69 of VUSC Student Handbook, 2008-09 (Adapted with permission from the Westmont College Plagiarism Policy) Preamble Vanguard University is a community of Christian scholars. When students join our college community, they are expected, as apprentice scholars, to search for truth with integrity and accuracy. This quest requires humility about our abilities, respect for the ideas of others, and originality in our thinking. Since Vanguard University is a Christian community, the integrity of our scholarship is rooted in the integrity of our faith. We seek to be followers of Christ in the classroom, in the library, and at the privacy of our computers. For both scholarly and spiritual reasons, then, plagiarism and all other forms of academic dishonesty are not to be pursued in the Vanguard community. In a scholarly and Christian community, each of us has a responsibility to encourage others to maintain their commitment to academic honesty. Faculty have a responsibility to educate students about refraining from academic dishonesty—in particular, plagiarism. Faculty should teach what plagiarism is, how to avoid it, and what the consequences of plagiarism are. In addition, as part of their evaluation of student assignments, they should check for evidence of plagiarism. If evidence is discovered, faculty should confront the student, apply the appropriate consequences, and report the incident to the Provost. Students have a responsibility to understand plagiarism and to learn how to avoid it. They should refuse to allow fellow students “to borrow” or to use an assignment without proper citation, encourage fellow students to do their own work, and refrain from completing assignments for their fellow students.

  • A Report to Inform the Educational Master Plan for Pasadena Unified School District
    A Report to Inform the Educational Master Plan for Pasadena Unified School District September 2016 September 2016 Executive Summary The journey begins with the end in mind – the vision of the optimal future of the PUSD We are the first choice in education for families and students who value academic excellence, innovation, and diversity in programs and students. We will maximize our fiscal, human and community resources to prepare our students today for the opportunities of tomorrow, provide and supportive environment, cultivate individual abilities and talents, graduate our students ready for college and career success, enable our students to be responsible and productive citizens, and become the employer of choice. The beginning of the journey This Educational Master Plan first grew out of the work of a committee convened in 2014-15 to go beyond aligning the three legs of facilities master planning (Programs, Facilities, and Demographics) to focus on three essential areas and questions below: • Equity – how do we integrate students from all sub groups; create equity of programs across the district for all students; and strengthen all schools’ core academic offerings (yet offer distinctive programs)? • Access for all students – Open enrollment vs. Neighborhood Schools – where on the continuum do we want to be? • Quality learning environment and sustainable campuses – what is the appropriate/sustainable school size? A Master Planning Team was then given a scope of work to develop a clear vision for the above, measure and analyze data related to current realities and stated priorities of the Board, and to direct staff to develop plans and processes to meet these priorities as well as design an effective monitoring and evaluation system to ensure their efficient implementation.
