Liberal Arts Honors Code
I pledge to conduct myself with honor and integrity in all academic, personal, and professional pursuits. I will be responsible for the academic integrity of my work and encourage my peers to do the same. I will carry these values with me as I graduate from this college.
Academic integrity is “the pursuit of scholarly activity in an open, honest and responsible manner” which includes “a commitment by all members of the University community not to engage in or tolerate acts of falsification, misrepresentation or deception.” (see Senate policy 49-20).

Academic Integrity Committee
The College of the Liberal Art’s Academic Integrity Committee is made up of Liberal Arts faculty and undergraduate students. These faculty and students then are interviewed by the College of the Liberal Arts Director of Academic Integrity and trained in policy and procedure. The Academic Integrity Committee requires at least three faculty members and one undergraduate student to meet the quorum of each committee meeting. The committee consists of a faculty chair who directs the claim review and voting process (this person can also be a voting member if quorum requires) and will sometimes consist of one non-voting staff member who is there to record the outcomes of the voting process.
The College of the Liberal Arts does a submission-based review process, which means that the educator and student submit information for the committee into the designated online portal (Digital Academic Integrity System, DAISY) and the submitted information is used by the committee to make their determinations. The student and the educator do not meet with the committee in person.
