UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS URBANA-CHAMPAIGN SENATE
Senate Committee on Student Discipline
REPORT ON ACADEMIC INTEGRITY VIOLATIONS - FY07
The Student Code requires that the Senate Committee on Student Discipline act as a clearinghouse of all
academic integrity violations found by instructors, departments, and colleges. Specifically Section 1-406(d)
states:
At the end of each academic year, the executive director of the Senate Committee on Student Discipline shall
compile an annual report to the Senate on the number and severity of such infractions of academic integrity,
without identification of the individuals involved, and make that report available for open distribution and
publication across campus.
This report reflects all violations of the academic integrity policy reported to the Senate Committee on Student
Discipline which were fully resolved (appeal process has expired) from July 1, 2006 through June 30, 2007.
Cases which are still on appeal will be reflected in next year’s report.
