Co n co r d i a·s Thursd ay R e p or t DEC E MBER 2 , 19 9 9 7 Academic Hearing Board Annual Report 1 June 1998 - 31 May 1999

INTRODUCTION

This report is submitted to Senate every year, in accordance with the requirements of article 71 of the Code of Conduct (Academic).

CODE OF CONDUCT (ACADEMIC), YEAR TWO

This year the number of incident reports of academic misconduct received by the deans nearly doubled, for a total of 60. While at first glance this may look as though the incidence of cheating has gone up, it is more probably simply the result of more faculty members becoming aware of the change of procedure under the revised Code. Nevertheless, anecdotal information suggests that many faculty members are still not aware of the revised procedures or the fact that they are obliged to file an incident report if they suspect cheating. Oth ers who do know about the procedure are said to avoid it because they believe that it is cumbersome or that they will be tied up in lengthy hearings. Faculty members should be ·aware that filling out the incident report is not much more time-consuming than handling a cheating incident personally. Further, very few charges ever go to a hearing and hearings do not usually last more than an hour or two.

There are important reasons why the Code was revised and therefore why faculty members should follow the new procedures. First, having the deans handle charges means that the process and the outcome are more consistent across the University and therefore fairer to students. Second, the deans are obliged to inform the Registrar of all sanctions, thus enabling the University to identify repeat offenders, who are liable to be expelled under article 45.

The problem of faculty members' lack of awareness was discussed at the annual "feedback" meeting with the associate deans who are delegated to deal with charges. It was agreed at this meeting that faculties and department chairs should play a more pro-active role in getting the message across. To this end, the Secretary of the Academic Hearing Board and Legal Counsel have prepared a pamphlet for the guidance of faculty members, which is being distributed during the Fall 1999/2000 semester.

TRAINING OF PANELISTS

The Academic Hearing Board is composed of faculty and student representatives from each of the faculties, the Concordia Student Union and the Graduate Students' Association. As the Code stipulates, a training session was conducted by Legal Counsel, the director of Advocacy and Support Services and the Secretary of the Academic Hearing Board for all panelists. There were, however, no requests for a hearing during this period. While it is less cumbersome and time consuming to dispose of cases at the first level, via the dean's decision, one disadvantage of the infrequency of hearings is that panelists have little opportunity to develop their skills.

NUMBER AND DISPOSITION OF CASES

A total of 60 incident reports were processed by the deans between June 1, 1998 and May 31, 1999. Twenty-three of the charges were dismissed by the deans, while 37 were upheld. A much greater percent were dismissed (38%) this year as compared to last year (21 %). This is largely attributable to the fact that 12 of the 23 dismissed cases involved a group of students who misunderstood the instructions about what material was permissible in the examination room, and who were given the benefit of the doubt by the dean.

Once again no incident reports were received by the Dean of Fine Arts during this period.

The following tables provide comparative figures for the years 1997-98 and 1998-99, and represent the total number of cases processed by the faculties and the School of Graduate Studies.

TYPE OF CHARGES

As may be seen in the table below, the most common charge in 1998-99 was plagiarism, followed by some form of cheating during examinations. The table provides the number of charges classified under each definition for the years 1997-98 and 1998-99:
