"Academic
integrity is a demonstration of respect for the scholarship
and the intellectual and creative efforts of others. Membership
in the academic community of the College of Saint Elizabeth
implies a high regard for human dignity and the expectation
that ethical conduct be understood and practiced. We recognize
that every individual has the right to the fruits of her/his
own labor and is entitled to the appropriate acknowledgement
of this labor. Consequently, academic integrity is a vital
part of the relationship among faculty, administrators, staff
and students.
The institution
recognizes its responsibility to educate the members of its
community in an understanding of academic integrity. Additionally,
each member of the academic community recognizes her/his individual
responsibility to maintain and foster academic integrity.
The institution
will not accept academic dishonesty, which includes but is
not limited to, plagiarism, cheating in any form, theft of
educational materials, the falsification of data, and illegal
production of computer and audio/video software. A penalty
will result from an infraction of the community norm of integrity."
