The effectiveness of the student conduct process rests partially upon the participation of all members of the University community. Active participation in the process by students, faculty, and staff reflects a willingness to address the difficult issues brought before them for the betterment of individual students and the University community. This involvement is vital to the establishment of true community standards.<\/p>\n

If faculty and staff members observe situations with students that violate the Student Code of Conduct<\/a>, they are encouraged to submit an incident report to SCCS. Common classroom situations include: Academic Dishonesty and Disruptive Behavior. Please use the resources in this area to determine the best course of action.<\/p>\n

The University of Tennessee Employee Hub features resources available to faculty and staff regarding academic dishonesty, disruptive behavior, classroom behavior flowchart and more. SCCS strongly recommends exploring these resources for additional information.<\/p>\nView the University of Tennessee Employee Hub<\/a>\n

Academic Dishonesty<\/h2>\n

The Honor Statement of the Student Code of Conduct encourages each student to make a personal commitment to academic integrity. In addition, faculty members also have the responsibility to define and set guidelines for academic integrity in their courses as well as act on any violation of the Honor Statement.<\/p>\n

Please visit our page on the Academic Dishonesty Process<\/a> for detailed instructions on how to report alleged academic dishonesty.<\/p>\n

Disruptive Behavior<\/h2>\n

Students disrupting teaching, learning, studying, research, and\/or any other University-affiliated activity, should be referred to SCCS. Please use the Incident Report Form<\/a>. Additionally, Teaching & Learning Innovation<\/a> offers additional supportive resources to University faculty. TLI is also available for one-on-one consultations with any faculty member. Please submit a request via TLI’s Individual Instructor Service Request Form | Teaching & Learning Innovation.<\/a><\/p>\n

In no event should this rule be construed to discipline a student for speech protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.<\/p>\n

Classroom Behavior Flowchart<\/h2>\n

Please use this flowchart to help determine the best referral source for your classroom behaviors.<\/p>\n
