Academic
Integrity
and
Honesty
Saint
Louis
University
is
a
community
of
learning
in
which
integrity
and
mutual
trust
are
vital.
Since
the
mission
of
the
University
is
"the
pursuit
of
truth
for
the
greater
glory
of
God
and
for
the
service
of
humanity,"
acts
of
falsehood
violate
its
very
reason
for
existence.
They
also
demean
and
compromise
the
activities
of
teaching,
research,
and
community
service
that
are
the
primary
corporate
purposes
of
the
institution.
Academic
dishonesty
runs
counter
to
the
ethical
principles
of
Christianity
and
of
other
cultural
traditions
and
undercuts
the
spiritual
and
intellectual
ideals
of
the
Catholic
Church
and
the
Society
of
Jesus,
upon
which
the
University
is
founded.
The
destructive
effects
of
academic
dishonesty
are
many.
Not
only
does
it
undermine
the
grading
process,
robbing
teachers
of
their
ability
to
assess
the
accomplishments
of
their
students
and
to
give
proper
responses
and
rewards,
but
it
also
impairs
the
ability
of
the
University
to
certify
to
the
outside
world
the
skills
and
attainments
of
its
graduates.
Such
dishonesty
allows
students
to
take
unfair
advantage
of
their
peers
and
undermines
moral
character
as
well
as
self-respect.
It
also
damages
the
bonds
of
academic
trust
upon
which
the
entire
University
rests.
Since
the
College
of
Arts
and
Sciences
seeks
to
prepare
students
for
lives
of
integrity
and
for
occupations
of
trust,
it
regards
all
acts
of
academic
dishonesty
as
matters
of
serious
concern.
In
establishing
high
standards
of
integrity,
the
College
is
not
only
affirming
certain
rules
students
are
to
observe
in
their
time
as
students
at
Saint
Louis
University,
but
giving
students
ethical
principles
and
practices
to
take
with
them
as
they
move
into
diverse
professions
and
walks
of
life
beyond
the
walls
of
the
University.
To
this
end,
the
College
relies,
not
merely
on
the
willing
compliance
and
support
of
its
students,
but
on
the
adherence
to
professional
ethics
displayed
by
its
students,
but
also
by
its
faculty,
staff,
and
administrators
as
well.
Each
year,
the
Committee
on
Academic
Honesty
will
pursue
a
variety
of
opportunities
to
heighten
awareness
of
college
policy
and
the
ethical
principles
on
which
it
is
founded.

In
accordance
with
this
policy
the
Biology
Department
has
a
ZERO
TOLERANCE
policy
for
any
violations
of
academic
honesty.
This
includes
plagiarism
of
any
form.
Any
violations
will
result
in
a
zero
for
the
graded
material
(which
will
be
counted
as
a
zero
in
your
grade
calculation),
a
report
to
the
Biology
Department
Chair,
and

for
failing

course.
