Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A clear and cogent guide to how colleges and universities can investigate student misconduct. All colleges and universities grapple with the complexities of student misconduct. How can these institutions conduct efficient fact-finding investigations and disciplinary proceedings? What best practices should administrators and legal counsel follow when student behavior interferes with a university’s mission or poses a campus safety threat? Oren R. Griffin answers these questions and more in Investigating College Student Misconduct, an essential resource for student affairs professionals and university administrators. Misconduct investigations and disciplinary proceedings are as common in higher education as they are contested. Without the force of law, clear procedures, or even rules of evidence, these proceedings can leave both the accused and the accuser in danger of receiving unfair treatment, opening the university up to legal action. Emphasizing the importance of institutional compliance obligations and students’ rights, Griffin explores the fundamental steps that should guide the investigation process. He describes tactics that academic and student affairs administrators should consider and comments on the importance of managing privileged and confidential information—as well as communicating the results of and proposed remedies to student misconduct investigations. A law professor, scholar of higher education law, and associate dean who consults with other universities on legal compliance and litigation matters, Griffin brings a unique perspective to this topic. Touching on a range of issues, including academic dishonesty, sexual assault, freedom of speech, quasi-criminal activity, and other acts of misconduct, Investigating Student Misconduct is supported by a review of relevant judicial decisions from state and federal courts, along with a conceptual and pragmatic analysis of important statutory and constitutional provisions, including Title IX and FERPA.

Download or read book Student Conduct Practice written by James M. Lancaster and published by Stylus Publishing (VA). This book was released on 2008 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twenty-five expert practitioners and faculty present a compendium of current best practices in the administration of student conduct, a summary of present thinking on key issues facing practitioners today, and an overview of the role and status of conduct administrators within their institutions. The editors describe the profession's continuing quest to find its "voice" and clarify its critical contribution to student affairs practice, as it seeks to steer a path between legal process and creating a safe environment where students are encouraged to engage in dialogue about and wrestle with the dilemmas that challenge their lives and threaten their success in college. Part One covers the structural considerations of student conduct administration. Chapters present the history and professional philosophy of conduct administration, review the ideal qualifications and personal characteristics for successful conduct administration practice and address the environment and governance framework in which administrators function. Edward Stoner II discusses his Model Student Code of Conduct and offers suggestions on using it to assess institutional practice. This section further reviews applicable law, policies and government mandates and presents guidance on the use of the range of available resolution forums. It culminates with a closer look at ethics and the decision-making process, student development theory, and the critical dimensions of diversity with respect to issues of social justice. Part Two examines contemporary issues affecting student conduct administration. These include incivility, first amendment concerns, mental health and student well being, diversity and its challenge to traditional notions of "typical" student needs, student organizational conduct, technology and information management and academic misconduct. The book concludes with a review of the present state of student conduct administration and expert views about its future direction, including the need for more research, better assessment of outcomes, and a continued emphasis upon the practice of student conduct administration as a dedicated profession. This is an essential companion for both new and established practitioners. This book is published on the twentieth anniversary of the founding of ASJA and coincides with the tenth anniversary of the publication of the earlier handbook, The Administration of Campus Discipline. Student Conduct Practice constitutes the handbook for the next decade.
Download or read book Cheating in College written by Donald L. McCabe and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2012-09-11 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today’s students are tomorrow’s leaders, and the college years are a critical period for their development of ethical standards. Cheating in College explores how and why students cheat and what policies, practices, and participation may be useful in promoting academic integrity and reducing cheating. The authors investigate trends over time, including internet-based cheating. They consider personal and situational explanations, such as the culture of groups in which dishonesty is more common (such as business majors) and social settings that support cheating (such as fraternities and sororities). Faculty and administrators are increasing their efforts to promote academic honesty among students. Orientation and training sessions, information on college and university websites, student handbooks that describe codes of conduct, honor codes, and course syllabi all define cheating and establish the consequences. Based on the authors’ multiyear, multisite surveys, Cheating in College quantifies and analyzes student cheating to demonstrate why academic integrity is important and to describe the cultural efforts that are effective in restoring it. -- Gary Pavela, Syracuse University

Download or read book College Student Behavior written by Kevin W. Williams and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High profile behavioral problems have motivated a national call for accountability by colleges and universities to better manage these issues to maintain safe and supportive campus communities. The current literature supports the use of the student conduct process as the main student behavioral intervention, but limited research has been published that examine the outcomes associated with the process. This study examines the experiences of students who participated in the conduct process and influence on their learning and future behaviors. The study also compares the experiences of students to the expressed outcomes of the professionals who administer the process. This study utilizes a qualitative research design to provide a reflective understanding of administrators' desired outcomes pertaining to the conduct process and students' experiences and meaning-making after participating in the same process. The study exams students' perceptions of learning and ways future behaviors are influenced due to participating in the conduct process. This study takes place at a large four-year public urban institution located in the Northeast and includes interviews with students who participated in the student conduct process between August 2012 and September 2014 and of administrators that oversee the disciplinary proceedings at the same university. The findings from this study reveal similarities and differences between administrators and students that may provide useful in exploring ways to further prevent disciplinary issues and support students when behaviors occur beyond what is already being offered. Additionally, findings demonstrate that learning is occurring, which students attribute to interactions with administrators, active sanctions involving peer interactions, and learning to critically think through future decisions before making them. Furthermore, students' claims that the conduct process is educational aligns with responses shared by administrators, but are not fully substantiated, due to a lack of formal outcomes and assessment measures that could validate the overall effectiveness of the conduct process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Student conduct throughout colleges and universities is a continuously growing topic of concern on all fronts. When considering an approach to handling student conduct, several models exists for post-secondary institutions to adjudicate students. However to embrace the true meaning of an educational institution, specifically Grand Valley State University Housing & Residence Life, conduct administrators must become partners in the learning experience that is student conduct through restorative processes, rather than traditional punitive means. A great deal of student conduct issues arise from residence halls and other living environments. This project specifically addresses the centralized approach to student conduct and adjudication of students through restorative justice means.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How many hate or bias incidents occurred on your campus this past year? Did any students opt out of filing formal charges? How many completed a formal resolution process, and what happened? Would you have liked to have other conflict resolution options? "This publication is endorsed by ASCA as a collaborative, collegial new lens through which to consider how social justice practices and student conduct administration can come together to inform best practices in conduct and conflict management on college and university campuses."- Tamara J. King, J.D., 2009 President, Association for Student Conduct Administration Social justice theory provides the lens for expanding our conception of student conduct administration, and the foundation for considering systemic changes in practice - changes that are vital to address the concerns and issues raised by an increasingly diverse student population. Using this lens, this book casts new light on existing principles and current practices; makes issues of power, privilege and oppression manifest; and offers a vision for expanding resolution practices to empower today's students to resolve their own conflicts. Complementing the Model Student Disciplinary Code, this book opens up a whole new range of approaches and models that readers can adapt to their institutional circumstances. Starting from the principle that systems and models are vehicles through which to act on our values, and by focusing on such core values as the commitment to student development, freedom of expression, diversity, accessibility, individual rights and shared responsibilities in a community of learners, the contributors reveal the utility and contemporary relevance of a number of underutilized resolution practices. Part I provides a framework for transforming student conduct administration using conflict resolution methods and social and restorative justice practices. Part II devotes a chapter to explaining each of the seven "Spectrum Model Pathways" to conflict resolution that form the core of this book: Dialogue, Conflict Coaching, Facilitated Dialogue, Mediation, Restorative Justice Practices, Shuttle Diplomacy, and traditional formal student conduct processes informed by social justice theory. Part III provides practical application tools for the ideas presented in this text, including discussion of change management and assessment, and concludes with an overview of programs from across the country using inclusive conflict resolution methods in student conduct work. This is a book for anyone concerned about issues of access and justice for all students - regardless of race, sexual orientation, belief, or ability - and seeking to develop and implement restorative and safe practices for their campus community.
