FILING
A COMPLAINT OF ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT, OR, WHEN A CASE IS REFERRED
TO THE OFFICE OF THE ASSISTANT DEAN FOR STUDENT ACADEMIC AFFAIRS
Members of the instructional faculty may choose to file a complaint
of academic misconduct with the Office of the Assistant Dean for
Student Academic Affairs (1213 Angell Hall, 764-7297). When choosing
this option, the instructor should not impose any penalty or require
any remedial work until the case has been resolved. It is always
appropriate, however, to file a complaint in any alleged instance
of academic misconduct, and the instructor should do so as soon
as practicable from the date of occurrence. Barring unforeseen
circumstances, cases will be resolved within the academic term
(and typically within a week or two) in which the incident occurs.
Once a complaint ha been filed with the Assistant Dean, it may
not be withdrawn without the approval of the Assistant Dean. Also,
a student against whom a complaint of academic misconduct has
been filed may not change registration in the course (e.g., drop
the course) in which the complaint is pending or in which a finding
of academic misconduct is made.
Instructors should send Assistant Dean Esrold Nurse (1213 Angell
Hall; eanurse@umich.edu)
either a memorandum or an email with the following information:
the student name and identification number; the course division,
course number, and section number; a brief description of the
nature of the incident; and the proposed grade penalty, if any,
for either a specific course assignment(s) or the final course
grade. Dean Nurse’s office will then take responsibility
for notifying the student, and the student will be asked to schedule
an appointment with the Assistant Dean or the Assistant Dean’s
designee to discuss the case.
