ACADEMIC INTEGRITY AND APPEAL
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY AND APPEALS ACADEMIC FREEDOM IN ARTISTIC EXPRESSION The Art Academy of Cincinnati endorses the American Association of University Professors statement on academic freedom including the following:
Submission of the same work for two or more courses unless previously approved by all faculty members concerned.
Faculty members and students engaged in the creation and presentation of works of the visual and the performing arts are as much engaged in pursuing the mission of the college or university as are those who write, teach, and study in other academic disciplines. Works of the visual and the performing arts are important both in their own right and because they can enhance our understanding of social institutions and the human condition. Artistic expression in the classroom, the studio, and the workshop therefore merits the same assurance of academic freedom that is accorded to other scholarly and teaching activities. Since faculty and student artistic presentations to the public are integral to their teaching, learning, and scholarship, these presentations merit no less protection. Educational and artistic criteria should be used by all who participate in the selection and presentation of artistic works. Reasonable content-neutral regulation of the “time, place, and manner” of presentations should be developed and maintained. Academic institutions are obliged to ensure that regulations and procedures do not impair freedom of expression or discourage creativity by subjecting artistic work to tests of propriety or ideology.
Obtaining answers to an examination, test, or quiz either within or outside of the class in which the examination or other assessment tool is administered.
Failure to cite the words or ideas of another in a work submitted for evaluation.
ACADEMIC HONESTY POLICY The Art Academy of Cincinnati is a community of faculty, staff, and students committed to the exchange of ideas contributing to intellectual growth and artistic development. A shared commitment to scholarly values, intellectual integrity, and respect for the ideas and work of others is essential to the college’s mission. The Art Academy insists upon academic integrity at all times. Violations of academic integrity threaten the atmosphere of trust, fairness, and respect essential to artistic, scholastic, and professional development, and they undermine the quality of a college education. In situations involving suspected violations of academic integrity, procedures and sanctions established by the Council of Adjudication shall be followed. Students are expected to be honest in their dealings with faculty, staff, and fellow students in all circumstances. In class assignments, students must submit work that fairly and accurately reflects their level of accomplishment. Any work that is not a product of a student’s own efforts is considered dishonest whether it is studio work or academic work. Academic honesty includes, but is not limited to, the following: The submission of any work not actually produced by the student submitting the work.
