Academic Integrity Board (AIB)

1.       Appointment to Board.  The AIB is comprised of sixteen faculty members appointed by Faculty Council and serving three-year staggered terms, and ten student members who are chosen and trained by the chair of the AIB.

2.       Hearing Panel.  A student appeal, mandatory hearing, or a hearing initiated by a faculty member will be heard by a panel selected from the AIB. The board will have jurisdiction in all cases of alleged student violations of the Academic Integrity Policy in all colleges of the university with the exception of the College of Law, which maintains an Honor Code.

3.       AIB Chair.  One of the sixteen members of the AIB will be elected to a three-year term as chair by the AIB. The chair, who may serve on panels as circumstances warrant, shall work with the AVPAA and the Dean of Students to settle any issue about whether the jurisdiction of a given case belongs to the Academic Integrity Board or the university’s Judicial Board.

a.       The decision on the jurisdictional issue of these three individuals is final.

b.  In the event that the AVPAA imposes a sanction on a student in the course of her/his role as faculty member, the EVPAA shall designate an alternate to serve in the capacity of the administrative role for that case only.
