As researchers, writers, scholars, producers of creative works, teachers and members of the UNM community, all graduate students are expected to follow the University of New Mexico values and guidelines with regard to responsible conduct of research (RCR), professional ethics, and academic integrity. Graduate students are responsible for learning and adhering to the specific university, college, and departmental policies and procedures regarding academic honesty and responsible conduct of research, including IRB and IACUC guidelines when appropriate. The paragraph that follows provides an overview, but please consult the following resources for specific policies:
As stipulated in the UNM Catalog and the UNM Pathfinder, "Each student is expected to maintain the highest standards of honesty and integrity in academic and professional matters.” According to the Dean of Students the violation of academic integrity policy "includes, but is not limited to: dishonesty in quizzes, tests or assignments; claiming credit for work not done or done by others; hindering the academic work of other students; misrepresenting academic or professional qualifications within or without the University; and nondisclosure or misrepresentation in filling out applications or other University records." At stake is nothing less than public trust in the research, writing, and creative work produced at the university. Thus, UNM expects all students, faculty and staff to follow the highest standards of ethical practice and academic integrity, and, as stated in the catalog and Pathfinder, UNM “reserves the right to take disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal, against any student who is found guilty of academic dishonesty or otherwise fails to meet these standards.”
Academic Integrity is a tutorial for students, faculty, and staff of the University of New Mexico. This course has been prepared by the Office of Graduate Studies in conjunction with the College of Education, the Dean of Students Office, and the Office of the Vice President for Research. The course is designed to create awareness of academic integrity and related topics and consists of an Introduction that all learners complete, as well as three different learning paths that learners select based on their role in the university: Student, Faculty, or Staff. Learners may complete one section at a time if multiple roles apply. Upon completion of their selected learning path(s), learners take an assessment to test their understanding of the importance of, and UNM policies about, academic integrity and responsible conduct of research.
