Academic Integrity
- Bob Fisher brought before Senate the issue of the lack of academic integrity among our students. Behavorial issues are sent to the campus judicial office, but there is currently no policy or procedure to handle academic dishonesty.
- Lynn Domina, Peter Paluch, Ali Speede, and Pam Peters recently attended the SUNY Symposium on Academic Integrity. Peter Paluch gave an overview of the symposium, and read Ten Principles of Academic Integrity for Faculty (attached).
- Marsha Stock proposed that the Senate form a task force on academic integrity to recommend a policy and process for reporting and responding to academic misconduct. Lynn will post an announcement on Delhi Today and those interested will contact Bob Fisher who will facilitate this group. Lynn will articulate a charge and email it to senators for feedback.

The meeting was adjourned at 5:13 p.m.
