Standards for Conduct of Research

2.3 Scientific Misconduct

All members of the faculty are expected to conduct their research and publish the results of that research with the highest standards of ethical conduct, truth and accuracy. The University has established policies and procedures for responding to allegations of research misconduct or academic fraud. The policy establishes a method for reporting as well as adjudicating such allegations. Any instance of suspected academic fraud or misconduct should be reported to the Research Integrity Officer (RIO). Currently the Associate Vice President for Research holds this position.
