Students in all other courses are expected to attendcl<strong>as</strong>ses regularly, and instructors are required to recordattendance for grading and counseling purposes.Individual instructors, <strong>as</strong> well <strong>as</strong> departments or degreeprograms, may establish specific attendance requirements.Instructors have the right to weigh attendance andcl<strong>as</strong>s participation in determining grades. It is the student'sresponsibility to <strong>as</strong>certain the effect attendancemay have on the grade in a course. Students receivingfinancial aid must be certified or attending cl<strong>as</strong>ses regularlyfor continuing eligibility.FINAL EXAMINATIONSA written final cl<strong>as</strong>sroom examination is required in everycourse and must be held at the same time scheduled by theRegistrar's office. A graduating senior may be exemptedfrom a final examination if the policy of the department orprogram is to exempt graduating seniors from final examinations.Exemptions are never automatic.A graduating senior who h<strong>as</strong> failed the final examinationin only one course required for graduation is entitledto a special examination, provided that the student h<strong>as</strong> ap<strong>as</strong>sing grade average in the course.A student who misses a final examination for validre<strong>as</strong>ons may, after consultation with his/her instructor,be given a makeup final examination. The instructormust report the student's final grade in the course to theOffice of the Registrar no later than the l<strong>as</strong>t day of cl<strong>as</strong>sesof the following semester. Students taking one or more
makeup final examinations must pay the special examinationfee <strong>as</strong> scheduled under “Noninstructional Fees" (inthe chapter on “Tuition and Fees” in this <strong>Bulletin</strong>) andpresent the Bursar's Receipt for the fee to the instructor.INCOMPLETE COURSESThe grade of INC is awarded only when the course requirementh<strong>as</strong> not been completed for good and sufficientre<strong>as</strong>ons and when there is a re<strong>as</strong>onable expectationthat the student can successfully complete the requirementsof the course. The INC grade covers any failure tocomplete all requirements for a course, such <strong>as</strong> submittinga paper or taking a final examination. For an instructorto grant an INC, the student must have met theinstructor's attendance requirements in the course andhave a p<strong>as</strong>sing semester average. The student must completethe missing work within the first ten weeks of thefollowing semester. If the instructor is not available, thestudent must consult with the department chair. A gradereplacing the INC may not be entered by the instructor ordepartment chair later than the l<strong>as</strong>t day of cl<strong>as</strong>ses of thefollowing semester. INC grades not completed by thedeadline will become Fs (FINs) (or the equivalent underGrading System I-R, NC).Academic IntegrityWhile honest scholarship is time-consuming and oftenrequires hard work, it is also the primary process bywhich students learn to think for themselves. Facultymembers must teach respect for methods of inquirywithin the various disciplines and make <strong>as</strong>signments thatwill encourage honest scholarship; students in turn mustuphold a standard of honesty within the <strong>College</strong>, therebyaffirming the value and integrity of their <strong>Lehman</strong> degree.The following definitions and procedures govern c<strong>as</strong>esinvolving undergraduate student work.The most common forms of academic dishonesty arecheating and plagiarism. Cheating is the use or attemptto use unauthorized material, information, notes, studyaids, devices, or communication during an academicexercise (for example, using unauthorized books, papers,or notes during an examination; or procuring, distributing,or using unauthorized copies of examinations). Plagiarismmeans the failure to give credit for the source ofanother's words or ide<strong>as</strong>, including but not limited tobooks, articles, interviews, and multimedia and electronicsites, or—<strong>as</strong> in the use of borrowed or purch<strong>as</strong>ed papers—p<strong>as</strong>singoff another person's work <strong>as</strong> one's own.(Section 213-b of the New York State Education Lawprohibits the sale of term papers, essays, and researchreports to students enrolled in a college.) Common formsof cheating and plagiarism are highlighted in this <strong>Bulletin</strong>.Academic dishonesty is a serious violation of the acceptedvalues of the <strong>College</strong>. When questions of a breachof academic integrity arise, instructors will inform thestudents of their suspicions and provide the student witha Faculty Report Form for Incidents of Suspected AcademicDishonesty. The instructor must remember that <strong>as</strong>tudent's failure to respond to charges of academic dishonestyis not in and of itself an indication of guilt. Thereport will include an explanation of the incident, theinstructor's intended academic sanction, and an indicationwhether or not the instructor is recommending thatthe <strong>College</strong> undertake disciplinary proceedings pursuantto Article 15 of the Board of Trustees Bylaws.Academic sanctions may include but are not limited tothe following:• a grade of F on the paper or examination; the studentmay be given the option of submitting a similar butadditional project for grading;• a grade of F on the paper or examination, <strong>as</strong> above,but with no option to submit additional work;• a grade of F for the course.Disciplinary procedures are governed by Article 15 ofthe Board of Trustees Bylaws. In the event the student isfound guilty of academic dishonesty by a Faculty-StudentDisciplinary Committee, penalties that may be imposedinclude but are not limited to: 1) suspension from the<strong>College</strong> or 2) expulsion from the <strong>College</strong>. Although theOffice of the Vice President for Student Affairs will beguided by the recommendation of the instructor, it reservesthe right to seek disciplinary sanctions under thedisciplinary procedures.Should the instructor become convinced that the suspicionsare unfounded, no further action will be takenand the Faculty Report Form will be destroyed. If thesuspicions are founded and if both the student and theinstructor are willing, they may agree upon a resolution.Subsequently the instructor will present the completedFaculty Report Form, including the charges and resolution,to the department chair who must forward the appropriatecopies of the form to the Office of AcademicStandards and Evaluation, and the Office of the VicePresident for Student Affairs. If no agreement is reached,the instructor must allow a student to complete allcoursework until the following appeal process h<strong>as</strong> beencompleted.• The first step in the appeals process is for the instructorto file the Faculty Report Form with the chair. If the termis completed, the instructor may <strong>as</strong>sign a grade that re-LEHMAN COLLEGE UNDERGRADUATE BULLETIN <strong>2007</strong>-<strong>2009</strong> 53
flects the intended sanction but must also provide a finalgrade that does not include the intended sanction if thecharges are not upheld.• If the charges are for cheating, then the chair will submitthe charges to the Office of the Vice President forStudent Affairs. If the charges are for plagiarism, the chairwill appoint a committee of three <strong>Lehman</strong> <strong>College</strong> facultymembers, which will adjudicate the matter withinthree weeks by majority vote. If the chair is the instructorin question, the senior member of the department Personneland Budget Committee will act for the chair. Thecommittee will provide written notification of its decisionto the chair, who will forward this recommendationand the Faculty Reporting Form to the Office of the VicePresident for Student Affairs.• The Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs willreview the recommendations of the instructor and thecommittee for possible disciplinary sanctions and providea written notification of its decision to the departmentchair, the student, the instructor, and the Office ofAcademic Standards and Evaluation. Either the instructoror the student h<strong>as</strong> the right, within three weeks of receiptof notification, to appeal the department decision in writingto the Committee on Admissions, Evaluation, andAcademic Standards, which will act <strong>as</strong> adjudicator of l<strong>as</strong>tresort. Should any part of the three-week period fall outsidethe regular semester, the first three weeks of the nextregular semester shall apply.The Office of Academic Standards and Evaluation willkeep all records of such proceedings on file until the student'sgraduation, at which time they will be destroyedAs a result of a second upheld charge of academic dishonesty,disciplinary procedures will be pursued by theOffice of the Vice President for Student Affairs <strong>as</strong> governedby the procedures under Article 15 of the Board ofTrustees' Bylaws.The following definitions and examples are adaptedfrom the CUNY Policy on Academic Integrity.Cheating is the unauthorized use or attempted use ofmaterial, information, notes, study aids, devices, orcommunication during an academic exercise. Examplesof cheating include, but are not limited to the following:• Copying from another student during an examinationor allowing another student to copy your work.• Unauthorized collaboration on a take-home <strong>as</strong>signmentor examination.• Using illegal notes during a closed-book examination.• Taking an examination for another student, or <strong>as</strong>king orallowing another student to take an examination for you.• Changing a graded exam and returning it for morecredit.• Submitting substantial portions of the same paper formore than one course without informing each instructor.• Preparing answers or writing notes in a blue book(exam booklet) before an examination.• Allowing others to research and write <strong>as</strong>signed papersor do <strong>as</strong>signed projects, including the use of commercialterm paper services.• Giving <strong>as</strong>sistance to acts of academic misconduct ordishonesty.• Fabricating data (all or in part).• Submitting someone else's work <strong>as</strong> your own.• Unauthorized use during an examination of any electronicdevices, such <strong>as</strong> cell phones, palm pilots, computers,or other technologies to send or retrieve information.Plagiarism is the act of presenting another person's ide<strong>as</strong>,research, or writings <strong>as</strong> your own. Examples of plagiarisminclude, but are not limited to the following:• Copying another person's actual words without the useof quotation marks and citations.• Presenting another person's ide<strong>as</strong> or theories in yourown words without acknowledging the source.• Using information that is not common knowledgewithout acknowledging the source.• Failing to acknowledge collaborators on <strong>as</strong>signments.• Purch<strong>as</strong>ing or downloading term papers online.• Paraphr<strong>as</strong>ing or copying information from the Internetwithout citing the source.• “Cutting and p<strong>as</strong>ting” from various sources withoutproper attribution.Academic StandardsStudents must have the retention indices of 1.5 for thefirst four courses or 12 attempted credits, of 1.75 for thefirst eight courses or 24 attempted credits, and of 2.0 for25 or more attempted credits, and a 2.0 semester indexthereafter.TOTAL CREDITSATTEMPTED0-12 (or first four courses) 1.513-24 (or first eight courses) 1.7525 or more 2.00MINIMUMLEHMAN COLLEGECUMULATIVE INDICES54 LEHMAN COLLEGE UNDERGRADUATE BULLETIN <strong>2007</strong>-<strong>2009</strong>

Comparative Literature investigatesliterary works from the perspective of more than one nationalliterature; works are often studied in conjunction with otherintellectual disciplines, such <strong>as</strong> anthropology, the arts, history,and philosophy. Traditionally, comparatists have focused onliterary movements, genres, and historical periods, and on thehistory of literary themes and ide<strong>as</strong>, primarily within the contextof Western literatures. More recently, comparatists have becomeinterested in emergent and non-Western literatures, in “minor”genres like biography, in the history of education and the theoryof reading, in women's studies, and in literary theory. The majorin Comparative Literature is approved for students minoring inEarly Childhood and Childhood Education.Courses in Comparative LiteratureCLT 360: Variable Topics in Comparative Literature. 3 hours, 3credits.

An introductory course in the methods of literary studyand criticism is provided by the department of the student'sprincipal language specialization. In addition to a selection ofelectives chosen from participating departments and programs,the student must take at le<strong>as</strong>t four literature courses above the200 level in which works are read in the original language, withno more than two of these courses in any language.Courses should be selected to provide a coherent program ofstudy focused around a particular historical period, literarygenre, or geographical area. Students have a great deal of flexibilityin selecting coherent courses from participating departmentsand programs. Each student will be <strong>as</strong>signed an adviser from oneof the participating departments or programs who will helpdefine and coordinate the student's program of study. A ComparativeLiterature seminar completes the program.30-TO-31-CREDIT MAJOR IN COMPARATIVE LITERATURE, B.A.The required credits are distributed <strong>as</strong> follows:Credits (30-31)9 In foundation courses: In order to gain a shared background inWestern and non-Western literary cl<strong>as</strong>sics, all students mustselect one of two linked pairs of foundation courses, and IDW213. The first pair is organized by historical periods and consistsof IDW (CLT) 211 and 212. The alternate pair is organized byliterary genre and consists of ENG 347 and 348. For course descriptions,see the descriptions later in this <strong>Bulletin</strong> under Englishand World Cl<strong>as</strong>sics.3-4 Introduction to Literary Studies: The student must take one ofthe following courses on the methods of literary study: ENG303, SPA 300, FRE 300, or ITA 300. Students should select acourse directly relevant to the advanced literature courses chosenin the 9-credit section below. For example, students planning totake 300- or 400-level courses in English Literature and SpanishLiterature should take either ENG 303 or SPA 300 to satisfy thisrequirement.6 In language courses: The two courses may be chosen from:SPV 246: Introduction to LinguisticsENG 304: The Structure of Modern English ComparativeGrammarEnglish-French FRE 310English-Italian ITA 310English-Portuguese POR 310English-Spanish SPA 310English-German GER 310English-Russian RUS 310English-Japanese JAL 3109 Elective Courses: The three courses must be chosen from advanced300-400-level literature courses read in the original language.These courses must be in no more than two languages.Students should select courses that enable them to concentrateon a particular historical period (e.g., the nineteenth century), aliterary genre (e.g., the novel, etc.), or a geographical area (e.g.,the Caribbean, Latin America).

REQUIREMENTS FOR THE MINOR IN COMPARATIVELITERATURE (12 CREDITS)The minor in Comparative Literature allows a student to buildan interdisciplinary concentration of courses focused on a specifichistorical period, literary genre, or geographical area. Literaturemajors may use the minor to study works in a secondlanguage read in the original language or in translation, or toenrich their study of literature in their major by adding relevantcourses from participating departments and programs, such <strong>as</strong>Anthropology, African and African American Studies, History,Philosophy, Theatre, or Women's Studies. Literature majors areencouraged to take ENG 306: Literary Criticism. Non-literaturemajors may use the minor <strong>as</strong> a way of studying literature, read inthe original language or in translation, from both literary andinterdisciplinary perspectives. Non-literature majors are encouragedto take IDW (CLT) 211 and 212, or ENG 347 and 348. Tosatisfy requirements for the Comparative Literature minor, studentsmust complete four courses (12 credits) selected from theparticipating departments and programs, two at the 200 level orabove, and two at the 300 level or above. At le<strong>as</strong>t two of thesecourses (including one course above the 200 level) must beliterature courses. The minor must include works from morethan one national literature. Courses should be selected to allowconcentration on a specific historical period, literary genre, orgeographical area. One course may be from the student's majordepartment, but the credits must be separate from creditscounted for the major. Each student's plan of study must beapproved by a Comparative Literature adviser.HONORS IN COMPARATIVE LITERATUREHonors in Comparative Literature may be conferred on a studentwho h<strong>as</strong> satisfied the <strong>College</strong>'s requirement for departmentalhonors at the time of graduation and h<strong>as</strong> completed CLT481: Honors Tutorial.Cooperative EducationDirector: Nancy Cintron (Shuster Hall, Room 254)Cooperative education is an educational process in which students,employers, and <strong>Lehman</strong> <strong>College</strong> cooperate in relating aliberal arts education to the world of work. The program is b<strong>as</strong>edupon the concept that preparation for a student's future career ismost effective when academic courses are closely integrated withrelevant work experiences through internships. Students in the<strong>Lehman</strong> <strong>College</strong> Cooperative Education Program benefit fromcareer exploration, work experience, financial earnings, andre<strong>as</strong>surance that a continued pursuit of a liberal arts programmay enhance future employment prospects. For students withclearly defined professional goals, the internship experience maybe a series of <strong>as</strong>signments with incre<strong>as</strong>ing responsibility withintheir chosen career field. For students in the liberal arts, the workexperience will provide an opportunity to explore different careeroptions and to discover for themselves that skills <strong>as</strong>sociatedwith a liberal arts education, such <strong>as</strong> analytical thinking, goodspoken and written communication, and effective human relations,have practical value in the world of work.ProgramThe Cooperative Education Program provides students with academicand career advisement from the time of the student's initialenrollment in the program until graduation. Students enrolled inthe <strong>Lehman</strong> <strong>College</strong> Cooperative Education Program take thefollowing three courses for elective credit:CED 105: Introduction to Cooperative EducationCED 270: Social Process and Career Development in the WorkEnvironmentCED 355: Academic Perspectives on the World of WorkThere are two types of internship placements available:• Alternate Placement. A student is employed full time during anentire semester and returns to full-time study the followingsemester. While employed, the student must register for a parttimeprogram of courses, including either CED 270 or CED 355.• Parallel Placement.

Political ScienceChair and Adviser: Donna Kirchheimer (Carman Hall, Room 358)Department Faculty: Professors: Ira Bloom, Stanley Renshon; AssociateProfessors: Young Kun Kim, Donna Kirchheimer; Assistant Professors:Tomohisa Hattori, Kevin PirchThe curriculum in Political Science is designed to enhance <strong>as</strong>tudent's liberal arts education and to develop an understandingof government and the political process in the United States andthe world. Political Science is a flexible major that prepares studentsfor careers in law, government, public administration,teaching, journalism, public service, non-profit organizations,business, and labor organizations, <strong>as</strong> well <strong>as</strong> for advanced studyof government, politics, and international affairs.Careers in Government and Public Administration: Students interestedin government service or non-profit organizations shouldconsider courses in Group VI (Public Policy and Administration).Students with these career interests may pursue m<strong>as</strong>ter'sdegrees in public administration (M.P.A.) in order to learn howpublic agencies (local, State, and Federal) and private organizationsoperate.Careers in Law: While no prescribed pre-law course of study isrequired for admission to law school, Political Science is thetraditional undergraduate major that most students select. Itshould be supplemented by courses in English (writing courses),philosophy, economics, and mathematics. The abilities to readand analyze complex material carefully and critically, to formand support independent judgments, and to communicate ide<strong>as</strong>in writing in a precise and cogent f<strong>as</strong>hion are essential to successin law school. Pre-law students should carefully consider thecourses listed in Group V and courses in other departments, such<strong>as</strong> PHI 229, 234, and 359; ENW 201 and 317; ECO 166 and167; and PSY 331.Teaching and Other Careers: The Political Science Departmentalso prepares students for careers in business, public service(local, national, and international), social research, practicalpolitics, journalism, and college teaching. Students interested insecondary or elementary school teaching would also find PoliticalScience an appropriate field of study. Contact the departmentsin the Division of Education or the Office of the Dean ofEducation for information on programs leading to New YorkState teacher certification.Internships: Internship opportunities are available to students inFederal, State, and city government. The Department offers <strong>as</strong>ummer internship in W<strong>as</strong>hington, D.C., that involves workwith legislators and other public officials. <strong>Lehman</strong> <strong>College</strong> creditis given for approved programs. Students may also spend onesemester in Albany on a paid internship organized by the NewYork State Legislature. Students receive credit for a full-timeprogram during the Spring semester and attend courses at thecampus of the State University of New York at Albany. In addition,a New York City Internship Program is offered by all seniorcolleges of The City University of New York (see POL 470 and471).

The City University ofNew York Policy onSexual Har<strong>as</strong>smentPolicy StatementIt is the policy of The City University ofNew York to promote a cooperative workand academic environment in whichthere exists mutual respect for all Universitystudents, faculty, and staff. Har<strong>as</strong>smentof employees or students b<strong>as</strong>edupon sex is inconsistent with this objectiveand contrary to the University's nondiscriminationpolicy. Sexual har<strong>as</strong>smentis illegal under Federal, State, and Citylaws, and will not be tolerated within theUniversity.The University, through its colleges,will disseminate this policy and takeother steps to educate the Universitycommunity about sexual har<strong>as</strong>sment.The University will establish proceduresto ensure that investigations of allegationsof sexual har<strong>as</strong>sment are conductedin a manner that is prompt, fair, thorough,and <strong>as</strong> confidential <strong>as</strong> possibleunder the circumstances, and that appropriatecorrective and/or disciplinaryaction is taken <strong>as</strong> warranted by the circumstanceswhen sexual har<strong>as</strong>sment isdetermined to have occurred. Members ofthe University community who believethemselves to be aggrieved under thispolicy are strongly encouraged to reportthe allegations of sexual har<strong>as</strong>sment <strong>as</strong>promptly <strong>as</strong> possible. Delay in making acomplaint of sexual har<strong>as</strong>sment may makeit more difficult for the <strong>College</strong> to investigatethe allegations.A. Prohibited ConductIt is a violation of University policy forany member of the University communityto engage in sexual har<strong>as</strong>sment or toretaliate against any member of the Universitycommunity for raising an allegationof sexual har<strong>as</strong>sment, for filing acomplaint alleging sexual har<strong>as</strong>sment, orfor participating in any proceeding todetermine if sexual har<strong>as</strong>sment h<strong>as</strong> occurred.B. Definition of Sexual Har<strong>as</strong>smentFor purposes of this policy, sexual har<strong>as</strong>smentis defined <strong>as</strong> unwelcome sexualadvances, requests for sexual favors, andother oral or written communications orphysical conduct of a sexual naturewhen:1. submission to such conduct is madeeither explicitly or implicitly a term orcondition of an individual's employmentor academic standing;2. submission to or rejection of suchconduct by an individual is used <strong>as</strong> ab<strong>as</strong>is for employment or academic decisionsaffecting such individual; or3. such conduct h<strong>as</strong> the purpose or effectof unre<strong>as</strong>onably interfering with an individual'swork or academic performanceor creating an intimidating, hostile, orabusive work or academic environment.Sexual har<strong>as</strong>sment can occur betweenindividuals of different sexes or of thesame sex. Although sexual har<strong>as</strong>smentmost often exploits a relationship betweenindividuals of unequal power(such <strong>as</strong> between a faculty member andstudent supervisor and employee, ortenured and untenured faculty members),it may also occur between individualsof equal power (such <strong>as</strong> betweenfellow students or coworkers), or in somecircumstances even where it appears thatthe har<strong>as</strong>ser h<strong>as</strong> less power than theindividual har<strong>as</strong>sed (for example, a studentsexually har<strong>as</strong>sing a faculty member).A lack of intent to har<strong>as</strong>s may berelevant to, but will not be determinativeof, whether sexual har<strong>as</strong>sment h<strong>as</strong> occurred.C. Examples of Sexual Har<strong>as</strong>smentSexual har<strong>as</strong>sment may take differentforms. Using a person's response to arequest for sexual favors <strong>as</strong> a b<strong>as</strong>is for anacademic or employment decision is oneform of sexual har<strong>as</strong>sment. Examples ofthis type of sexual har<strong>as</strong>sment include,but are not limited to, the following:• requesting or demanding sexual favorsin exchange for employment or academicopportunities (such <strong>as</strong> hiring, promotions,grades, or recommendations);• submitting unfair or inaccurate job oracademic evaluations or grades, or denyingtraining, promotion, or access to anyother employment or academic opportunity,because sexual advances have beenrejected.Other types of unwelcome conduct of <strong>as</strong>exual nature can also constitute sexualhar<strong>as</strong>sment, if sufficiently severe or perv<strong>as</strong>ivethat the target does find, and are<strong>as</strong>onable person would find, that anintimidating, hostile, or abusive work oracademic environment h<strong>as</strong> been created.Examples of this kind of sexual har<strong>as</strong>smentinclude, but are not limited to, thefollowing:• sexual comments, te<strong>as</strong>ing, or jokes;• sexual slurs, demeaning epithets, derogatorystatements, or other verbalabuse;• graphic or sexually suggestive commentsabout an individual's attire orbody;• inquiries or discussions about sexualactivities;• pressure to accept social invitations, tomeet privately, to date, or to have sexualrelations;• sexually suggestive letters or otherwritten materials;• sexual touching, brushing up againstanother in a sexual manner, graphic orsexually suggestive gestures, cornering,pinching, grabbing, kissing, or fondling;• coerced sexual intercourse or sexual<strong>as</strong>sault.D. Consensual RelationshipsAmorous, dating, or sexual relationshipsthat might be appropriate in other circumstanceshave inherent dangers whenthey occur between a faculty member,supervisor, or other member of the Universitycommunity and any person forwhom he or she h<strong>as</strong> a professional responsibility.These dangers can include:that a student or employee may feelcoerced into an unwanted relationshipbecause he or she fears that refusal toenter into the relationship will adverselyaffect his or her education or employment;that conflicts of interest may arisewhen a faculty member, supervisor, orother member of the University communityis required to evaluate the work ormake personnel or academic decisionswith respect to an individual with whomhe or she is having a romantic relationship;that students or employees mayperceive that a fellow student or coworkerwho is involved in a romanticrelationship will receive an unfair advantage;and that if the relationship ends ina way that is not amicable, either or bothof the parties may wish to take action toinjure the other party.Faculty members, supervisors, andother members of the University communitywho have professional responsibilityfor other individuals, accordingly,should be aware that any romantic orsexual involvement with a student oremployee for whom they have such aresponsibility may raise questions <strong>as</strong> tothe mutuality of the relationship andmay lead to charges of sexual har<strong>as</strong>sment.For the re<strong>as</strong>ons stated above, suchrelationships are strongly discouraged.For purposes of this section, an individualh<strong>as</strong> “professional responsibility”for another individual at the University ifhe or she performs functions including,but not limited to, teaching, counseling,grading, advising, evaluating, hiring,supervising, or making decisions or recommendationsthat confer benefits such<strong>as</strong> promotions, financial aid awards orother remuneration, or that may impactupon other academic or employmentopportunities.E.

In the context of courtlitigatedviolations, questions <strong>as</strong> to howmuch and what kind of process w<strong>as</strong>“due” turn on the court's judgmentwhether the decision on culpability w<strong>as</strong>“disciplinary” (a question of fact) or“academic” (a question of the instructor'sexpert judgment). This distinction h<strong>as</strong>proved difficult to apply on campus.Accordingly, these procedures provide foralternative approaches depending on theseverity of the sanction(s) being sought.If the instructor desires solely an “academic”sanction, that is, a grade reduction,less process is due than if a“disciplinary” sanction, such <strong>as</strong> suspensionor expulsion, is sought.A faculty member who suspects that <strong>as</strong>tudent h<strong>as</strong> committed a violation of theCUNY or the <strong>College</strong> Academic IntegrityPolicy shall review with the student thefacts and circumstances of the suspectedviolation whenever possible. The decisionwhether to seek an academic sanctiononly, rather than a disciplinarysanction or both types of sanctions, willrest with the faculty member in the firstinstance, but the <strong>College</strong> retains the rightLEHMAN COLLEGE UNDERGRADUATE BULLETIN <strong>2007</strong>-<strong>2009</strong> 215
to bring disciplinary charges against thestudent. Among the factors the collegeshould consider in determining whetherto seek a disciplinary sanction arewhether the student h<strong>as</strong> committed oneor more prior violations of the AcademicIntegrity Policy and mitigating circumstances,if any. It is strongly recommendedthat every instance of suspectedviolation should be reported to the AcademicIntegrity Official on a form providedby the <strong>College</strong> <strong>as</strong> described in thethird Recommendation for PromotingAcademic Integrity, above. Among otherthings, this reporting will allow the collegeto determine whether it wishes toseek a disciplinary sanction even wherethe instructor may not wish to do so.Procedures in C<strong>as</strong>es Where the InstructorSeeks an Academic Sanction Only1. Student Accepts Guilt and Does NotContest the Academic SanctionIf the faculty member wishes to seek onlyan academic sanction (i.e., a reducedgrade 1 only), and the student does notcontest either his/her guilt or the particularreduced grade the faculty member h<strong>as</strong>chosen, then the student shall be given thereduced grade, unless the <strong>College</strong> decidesto seek a disciplinary sanction, see SectionI above and IV below. The reduced grademay apply to the particular <strong>as</strong>signment <strong>as</strong>to which the violation occurred or to thecourse grade, at the faculty member'sdiscretion.2. Student Denies Guilt and/or Conteststhe Academic SanctionIf the student denies guilt or contests theparticular grade awarded by the facultymember, then the matter shall be handledusing the <strong>College</strong>'s grade appealsprocess, including departmental gradingcommittees where applicable, or theAcademic Integrity Committee. In eitherc<strong>as</strong>e, the process must, at a minimum,provide the student with an opportunityto be heard and to present evidence.Procedures in C<strong>as</strong>es Where a DisciplinarySanction Is SoughtIf a faculty member suspects a violationand seeks a disciplinary sanction, thefaculty member shall refer the mater tothe <strong>College</strong>'s Academic Integrity Officialusing the Faculty Report form, <strong>as</strong> describedin the third Recommendation forPromoting Academic Integrity above, tobe adjudicated by the <strong>College</strong>'s Faculty-Student Disciplinary Committee underArticle 15 of the CUNY Bylaws. As providedfor therein, the Faculty-StudentDisciplinary Committee may, amongother things, investigate, conciliate, orhear evidence on c<strong>as</strong>es in which disciplinarycharges are brought. 2 Under certaincircumstances, <strong>College</strong> officials otherthan the Academic Integrity Official mayseek disciplinary sanctions following theprocedures outlined above. For the re<strong>as</strong>onsdiscussed in Item IV below, if areduced grade is also at issue, then thatgrade should be held in abeyance, pendingthe Faculty-Student DisciplinaryCommittee's action.Procedures in C<strong>as</strong>es in Which Both aDisciplinary and an Academic SanctionAre SoughtIf a faculty member or the <strong>College</strong> seeksto have both a disciplinary and an academicsanction imposed, it is not advisableto proceed on both frontssimultaneously lest inconsistent resultsensue. Thus, it is best to begin with thedisciplinary proceeding seeking impositionof a disciplinary sanction and awaitits outcome before addressing the academicsanction. If the Faculty-StudentDisciplinary Committee finds that thealleged violation occurred, then the facultymember may reflect that finding inthe student's grade. If the Faculty-StudentDisciplinary Committee finds that thealleged violation did not occur, then nosanction of any kind may be imposed.The decision whether to pursue bothtypes of sanctions will ordinarily restwith the faculty member.Reporting Requirements1. By the Faculty Member to the AcademicIntegrity OfficialIn c<strong>as</strong>es where a violation of academicintegrity h<strong>as</strong> been found to have occurred(whether by admission or a factfindingprocess), the faculty membershould promptly file with the AcademicIntegrity Official a report of the adjudicationin writing on a Faculty Report formprovided by the <strong>College</strong> <strong>as</strong> describedabove. The Academic Integrity Officialshall maintain a confidential file for eachstudent about whom a suspected or adjudicatedviolation is reported. If eitherthe grade appeals process or the Faculty-Student Disciplinary Committee findsthat no violation occurred, the AcademicIntegrity Official shall remove and destroyall material relating to that incidentfrom the student's confidential academicintegrity file. Before determining whatsanction(s) to seek, the faculty memberor the Academic Integrity Official mayconsult the student's confidential academicintegrity file, if any, to determinewhether the student h<strong>as</strong> been found tohave previously committed a violation ofthe Academic Integrity Policy, the natureof the infraction, and the sanction imposedor action taken.2. By the Academic Integrity Official tothe Faculty MemberWhere a matter proceeds to the Faculty-Student Disciplinary Committee, theAcademic Integrity Official shallpromptly report its resolution to thefaculty member and file a record of theresolution in the student's confidentialacademic integrity file, unless, <strong>as</strong> indicatedabove, the suspected violation w<strong>as</strong>held to be unfounded, in which c<strong>as</strong>e allreporting forms concerning that suspectedviolation shall be destroyed.The City University ofNew York WorkplaceViolence Policy &ProceduresThe City University of New York h<strong>as</strong> along-standing commitment to promotinga safe and secure academic and workenvironment that promotes the achievementof its mission of teaching, research,scholarship, and service.
