The University Community聽

A university is a community of learners bonded together by the search for knowledge; the pursuit of personal, social, cultural, physical, and intellectual development; and the desire for the liberating effects of an advanced education. Though 好色先生, Dominguez Hills (CSUDH) has聽its own cultural norms and values, shaped, and聽maintained聽by the people and structures of the institution, the school also shares an academic culture with other universities and colleges across the nation. Integral to that culture is a set of values, such as academic freedom, dedication to teaching and learning, diversity, equity, respect toward聽others聽civility toward others, and academic integrity.聽

Academic Integrity聽

Academic integrity is of聽central importance聽in the university community and involves committed allegiance to the values,聽the principles, and the code of behavior held to be central in that community. Integrity concerns honesty and implies being truthful, fair, and free from lies, fraud, and deceit.聽

This policy applies to academic work in all instructional formats, including in-person, online, hybrid, clinical, laboratory, field-based, and experiential learning environments.聽

The core of a university鈥檚 integrity is its scholastic honesty. Honesty is a fundamental value in the academic culture of CSUDH. Though there are cultural and disciplinary differences聽with regard to聽the ownership of ideas and the importance of individual efforts, the university expects all students and other campus members to document the intellectual contributions of others and to ensure that the work they聽submit聽is their own.聽

Education provides students with the resources to engage with and understand聽new content, learn skills, and develop processes to maximize self-potential and the potential of others. Students聽demonstrate聽these learning capacities by tangible products such as test performance, papers, and presentations. These activities enable the student and the instructor to assess the student鈥檚 progress and readiness and help the student prepare for future learning opportunities. While a variety of factors contribute to academic dishonesty, students who cheat miss opportunities to gain an accurate picture of what they know and what they do not know, and to get substantive academic support from their instructors and other members of the campus community Academic dishonesty prevents students from important learning opportunities that contribute to the development of a confident academic identity.聽

The Nature of Academic Dishonesty聽

A standard definition of academic dishonesty has been provided by Kibler, Nuss, Paterson, and Pavela (1988): Academic dishonesty usually refers to forms of cheating and plagiarism which result in students giving or receiving unauthorized assistance in an academic exercise or receiving credit for work which is not their own.聽

Academic dishonesty includes cheating, plagiarism, and other forms of academic dishonesty intended to gain an unfair academic advantage, consistent with Title 5, California Code of Regulations, section 41301.聽

They further define the following specific forms of academic dishonesty:聽

Cheating鈥攊ntentionally using or聽attempting聽to use unauthorized materials, information, or study aids in any academic exercise. The聽term聽academic exercise includes all forms of work聽submitted聽for credit or hours.聽

Cheating also聽includes聽unauthorized multiple submissions, altering or interfering with grading, lying to improve a grade, altering graded work, unauthorized removal of tests from classroom or office, and forging signatures on academic documents.聽

Fabrication鈥攊ntentional and unauthorized falsification or invention of any information or citation in an academic exercise.聽

Facilitating academic dishonesty鈥攊ntentionally or knowingly helping or聽attempting聽to help another聽to violate聽a provision of the institutional code of academic integrity.聽

Plagiarism鈥攖he deliberate adoption or reproduction of ideas or words or statements of another person as one鈥檚 own without acknowledgment.聽We expand this definition to clarify that, by definition, plagiarism requires intent.聽When a student intentionally submits work that purports to be his/her original work, but聽actually聽is not, the student has committed plagiarism. Plagiarism may also include the following: copying of one person鈥檚 work by another and claiming it as his or her own, false presentation of聽oneself聽as the author or creator of a work, falsely taking credit for another person鈥檚 unique method of treatment or expression, falsely representing聽oneself聽as the source of ideas or expression, or the presentation of someone else鈥檚 language, ideas or works without giving that person due credit. It is not limited to written works. For example, one could plagiarize music compositions, photographs, works of art, choreography, computer聽programs,聽or any other unique creative effort.聽

At the heart of any university are its efforts to encourage critical reading and thinking, effective communication, and intellectual honesty among its students. As students expand their rhetorical and information literacy skills and grow as readers, writers, and communicators, they learn various culturally situated and discipline-specific modes of attribution, such as citing, quoting, and otherwise giving credit to originators of intellectual and creative ideas. It is expected that students will be supported as they gain familiarity with these processes.聽
