Cheating
and plagiarism: students
are expected to maintain the highest standards of honesty in their
college
work. Cheating, forgery, and plagiarism are serious offenses, and
students that
engage in any form of academic dishonesty will be subject to
disciplinary
action (see http://www.newpaltz.edu/advising/policies_integrity.html
for college academic integrity policy). The School of Business Ethics
Statement
and Policy Regarding Unethical or Dishonest Behavior are appended, and
can be
viewed online at: http://www.newpaltz.edu/schoolofbusiness/adminacad_integrity.html
and http://www.newpaltz.edu/schoolofbusiness/adminacad_behavior.html.
Information on electronic SEIs: students are responsible for completing the
Student
Evaluation of Instruction (SEI) for this course and for all your
courses with
an enrollment of three or more students.
I value your feedback and use it to improve my teaching and
planning. Please complete the form
online during the last week of classes.

Your business
education includes learning ethics and values. We
trust that you have the basic foundation upon which we can build. You will be judged by your character as well
as by your knowledge and skills since the business world increasingly
demands ethical behavior of its employees. Honesty
remains an admirable quality.
The academic integrity
policy of SUNY New Paltz (http://www.newpaltz.edu/advising/policies_integrity.html)
defines cheating, forgery, and plagiarism as follows.
Cheating is defined as giving or obtaining
information by improper means in meeting any academic requirements or
in other aspects of your professional conducts. The use for academic
credit of the same work in more than one course without knowledge or
consent of the instructor(s) is a form of cheating and is a serious
violation of academic integrity.
Forgery is defined as the alteration of forms,
documents, or records, or the signing of such forms or documents by
someone other than the proper designee.
Plagiarism is the representation, intentional or
unintentional, of another’s words or ideas as one's own. When using another person's words in a paper,
students must place them within quotation marks or clearly set them off
in the text with appropriate citation. When students use
another’s ideas, they must clearly identify the source of the
ideas. Plagiarism is a violation of the rights of the plagiarized
author and of the implied assurance by the students that when they
submit academic work it is their own work product.
If students have any issues with respect to the definition of
plagiarism, it is their responsibility to clarify the matter by
conferring with the instructor.
Cases requiring
disciplinary and/or grade appeal action will be adjudicated in
accordance with Procedures for Resolving Academic Integrity Cases, a
copy of which is available in the office of the Vice President for
Students Affairs, the office of the Provost for Academic Affairs, and
in the academic Deans' offices.
We, the members of
the SUNY New Paltz School of Business community, are committed to
practicing the highest standards of ethical behavior and demonstrating
integrity in all we do. We practice these
standards and expect them to be demonstrated by others not only in our
business dealings, but in all our relationships. Ours
is a culture of integrity. For us,
ethical behavior means adhering to certain standards in both public and
private.
The school
maintains a system (including software and web-based resources), by
which students are well informed, educated and required to acknowledge
by electronic signatures, the ethics, honesty and integrity standards
of the School of Business, and the consequences of violating those
standards.
Instructors who
identify any violators should report the incident to the Dean’s
office for disciplinary action. The following procedure is followed by
the dean’s office for handling such incidents.
The involved
students may request an appeal through Academic Appeal Committee
(undergraduate) or Graduate Council (graduate students).
First time
offenders receive a failing grade for the course, which can only be
changed based on a favorable outcome of the appeals process, if
applicable. The dean’s office keeps a list of first time
offenders. The offenders are also required to recertify their
understanding of our ethics, honesty and integrity standards.
A second time
undergraduate offender will be referred for possible dismissal to the
Office of Student Affairs. A second time graduate student offender will
be dismissed from the Master's degree program in which he or she is
matriculated, subject to review by the Graduate Council.
Note: Once a student completes the training
program, he/she shall be treated equally regardless of their previous
educational experience and cultural norms. Instructors are encouraged
to remind students of our ethics, honesty and integrity standards at
the beginning of each course.
