Academic Integrity Reviews

Ensuring a Fair and Transparent Process

Academic Integrity Reviews (AIR) serve as a vital step when a student contests an academic integrity violation, constituting approximately 15% of reported cases. This process involves faculty and students coming together to make unbiased determinations.

The AIR process focuses solely on determining whether a student's actions violated the Academic Integrity Policy. It does not consider intent (i.e., whether the student “meant” to violate policy) or the character (i.e., whether the student is a “good person”) of the student but relies on an evaluation of facts and evidence. The Academic Integrity Review Board is responsible for reviewing the evidence and determining based on the preponderance of evidence (i.e., more likely than not) whether a student is responsible for a violation.

If you disagree that your actions have violated the Academic Integrity Policy, your Resolution AAA and the AIO will guide you through the Review process. Below are useful resources you should review to guide you through each step of the process.
