WAC 132F-121-120
Instructor sanctions for course work
dishonesty or classroom misconduct. (1) An instructor need
not give credit for course work that is the product of
cheating, plagiarism, or other dishonesty. For any act of
dishonesty that occurs during an instructional course, the
instructor may adjust the student's grade accordingly for the
particular examination, paper, or other work product where
that dishonesty occurred. Any such grade adjustment shall not
limit or preclude disciplinary sanction(s) for the same act of
dishonesty.
(2) An instructor may take appropriate action to maintain
order and proper conduct in the classroom and to maintain the
effective cooperation of students in fulfilling the objectives
of the course. If a student is so disorderly or disruptive
that it is difficult or impossible to maintain classroom
decorum, that action may include removing that student from
that day's class session.
(3) With regard to any act of course-related dishonesty,
classroom misconduct, or other academic misconduct, the
faculty member involved may notify his/her dean, with
supporting documentation. The dean shall then determine
whether to refer the matter to the vice-president for student
services for possible disciplinary action.
(4) A student who has received a grade adjustment by the
instructor on the basis of dishonesty may grieve that
adjustment under the student complaint procedure. However,
any disciplinary sanction that is imposed instead of or in
addition to an instructor's grade adjustment may be imposed
and reviewed only under the student disciplinary procedure.
