Faculty to consider cheating,
grading motions
A proposal to change procedures for handling
student plagiarism and cheating cases will be
presented at today’s meeting of the general faculty
at 3:30 p.m. in 150 Science.
Also on the agenda is a motion proposing a
change in grading policy and another for
establishing a “dead” period during the week when
meetings could be held.
None of the motions will receive a favorable
recommendation from the Faculty Senate.
The plagiarism proposal, sponsored by
management professor Edwin Beale, suggests
taking cheating cases out of the hands of Student
Court, and placing them under the iurisdiction of
the Scholastic Deficiencies Committee (SDC). An
instructor who found evidence of cheating or
plagiarism could report the incident to SDC. Filing
the report would automatically place the student on
academic probation, which could be lifted only by
the committee.
The Faculty Senate will move that the proposal be
referred to an ad hoc committee.
The grading motion proposes that in courses
which require the instructor’s consent for ad
mission the professor be allowed to stipulate that
the class be taken on a graded basis.
Some professors have said they expect motions
may be presented concerning ASUO President Ron
Eachus’ disqualification as student body president
by EMU Director Dick Reynolds. President Robert
Clark will present a statement concerning the issue
at the meeting.
However, if such motions are presented they
will probably not be debated at Wednesday’s
meeting because of a rule requiring 30-day notice
for motions concerning policy change.
Charges may be dropped
for Weyerhaeuser Five
At its Tuesday afternoon
meeting the Student Conduct
Committee considered the
possibility of dropping all ch
wrges against five students
accused of Conduct Code
violations at an anti
Weyerhaeuser demonstration
last year.
Conduct Coordinator Donald
McCarty recommended that the
Committee approve of dropping
the charges because of the long
duration of time since the
demonstration, held last Feb. 3.
The five students involved in
the case were charged with
disorderly conduct and disrup
tion of the educational process.
Charges were dropped early last
term against the students by
Student Court, after the
prosecution said it did not have
specific testimony on the actions
of each or any of the five in
dividually during the demon
stration.
This ruling was overturned a
few weeks later by the University
Appeals Board, however, on the
grounds that students taking part
in an action of a group could be
tried for offenses committed by
that group.
The Conduct Committee
postponed a decision on Mc
Carty’s recommendation
Tuesday until its next meeting, in
order to allow all individuals
concerned, especially the student
defender and student prosecutor,
to comment to the Committee on
the matter.
McCarty told the Committee
that he doubted the “feasibility of
returning the cases to Student
Court” because of long time
delay, and said that he would not
be in favor of a retrial on the
matter.
He said that the decision by the
Appeals Board was an important
one for the Conduct System, but
that he doubted any good could
come from simply going through
the judicial process in the case
just for the sake of having
prosecuted the students.
McCarty also said he could not
see any appropriate sanction that
could be applied to the five if they
were found guilty, especially
since they have not returned to
the courts on other matters since
the Weyerhaeuser demonstration
and are therefore not “discipline
problems.”
After a discussion of other
matters. Committee Chairman
Frank Lacy, a law professor,
agreed to write a memo
specifying and changing certain
aspects of the Student Court
System
The memo, if approved by the
Committee, University President
Robert Clark and ASUO
President Ron Eachus, would:
Allow for voluntary terms of
longer than one year for faculty
members of Student Courts in
order to allow those interested to
gain greater experience.
Set up a rotational system
allowing faculty members of
these courts to be appointed
throughout the year rather than
only at the beginning.
Set up methods by which
future faculty court members
could gain experience with the
student court process before
actually joining the courts.
The memo was inspired by a
memorandum to the Committee
from math instructor Peter
Sherman, which expressed
concern of faculty members and
the faculty’s Committee on
Committees about these matters.
Sherman asked the Committee
to give the faculty “guidance”
where appropriate.
