ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
The inaugural event in our First-Friday-of-the-Month series of faculty
seminars
will take place on Friday, November 1, from 10 am to noon, in the
faculty/staff
lounge (VC 14-290), with breakfast available starting at 9:30. The topic
will be
a very important one for the college, academic integrity.
The seminar will begin with a presentation by Donald L. McCabe,
Professor
of Organization Management at Rutgers University and a leading
researcher on
academic integrity. Those interested in participating on November 1
might like
to read Prof. McCabe's "Ten Principles of Academic Integrity"
(co-authored
with
Gary Pavela), available at
http://www.collegepubs.com/ref/10PrinAcaInteg.shtml
and/or "New research on academic integrity: "The success of
'modified' honor
codes," a transcript of an interview with Prof. McCabe available at
http://www.collegepubs.com/ref/SFX000515.shtml .
Prof. McCabe's presentation will refer to these works but will open to
more
general
discussion that may center on the guidelines currently in effect at the
college,
as laid out in the "A Faculty Guide to Student Academic Integrity." The
Guide
was written by a faculty task force in 1998, discussed at the Faculty
Senate, and
approved at a meeting of the General Faculty. Nevertheless, the
guidelines
seem
not to be universally adhered to; perhaps because they are not widely
known,
perhaps because members of the faculty disagree with them. All
departments
(and many faculty) have copies of the Guide, and it is available online
at
http://www.baruch.cuny.edu/academic/academic_integrity.htm, where
there is
a link to the Guide in PDF format). The college's statement directed at
students
is available from the Baruch homepage (see "Academic Honesty"
under
"Academics") or go directly to
http://www.baruch.cuny.edu/academic/academic_honesty.html .
Our next seminar (on a third Friday: November 15) will focus on using
the
English Department's recently adopted writing handbook across
disciplines.
On Friday, December 6 we will discuss issues of "classroom
management."
Details will follow soon.
Please forward questions or suggestions regarding the faculty
seminar series
