Section VI: Procedure for Appeals

Both the instructor and the student shall have the right to appeal the decision of the Academic Integrity Committee to the Vice President for Academic Affairs. Upon request for an appeal, the Vice President will appoint an ad hoc Appeals Committee consisting of five tenured faculty who have no previous involvement with the incident. The ad hoc Appeals Committee may uphold or overturn the decision of the Academic Integrity Committee. The ad hoc committee will report its decision to the Office of Academic Affairs, which shall then communicate the decision to the professor and the student, in writing, within 3 working days.

The instructor and the student shall have the right to appeal the decision of the ad hoc Appeals Committee to the President. The President may uphold or overturn the decision.

If, after all campus channels have been exhausted, no satisfactory solution has been reached, the student or instructor may request a hearing before the Science & Arts Board of Regents.
