The question is not whether the University can discipline you,
but whether you can discipline yourselves.
but whether you can discipline yourselves.
Edward Kidder Graham, UNC President, 1914-1918
What it means to us
Faculty and students at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill adhere to their Code of Student Conduct.
We can learn much from each other and we will do that. I expect each of you to help each other.
We'll discuss what we expect in terms of cooperative, collaborative, shared work and our honor.
Code of Conduct
Academic integrity is at the heart of Carolina and we all are responsible for upholding the ideals of honor and integrity. Student Conduct is responsible for adjudicating any suspected violations of the Student Code of Conduct and all suspected instances of academic dishonesty will be referred to Student Conduct. Information, including your responsibilities as a student, is outlined in the Student Code of Conduct and accompanying Student Conduct Procedures. Your full participation and observance of the Student Code are expected.
It shall be the further responsibility of every student to abide by the philosophy of the code; namely, to conduct oneself so as not to impair significantly the welfare or the educational opportunities of others in the University community.
Faculty Responsibilities
I have a role to play as well, and I will fulfill these responsibilities.
What it means to us
The system rests on several central tenets:
The university community, including faculty and students, share a commitment to the pursuit of truth, and the dissemination of knowledge to succeeding generations of citizens devoted to the high ideals of personal honor and respect for the rights of others.
These goals can only be achieved in a setting in which intellectual honesty and personal integrity are highly valued; other individuals are trusted, respected, and fairly treated; and the responsibility for articulating and maintaining high standards is widely shared.
Both students and faculty must play active roles in fostering a culture in which honor is prized and acting to remedy violations of community norms relating to academic misconduct, injuries to members of the University community, and conduct that adversely affect University operations and resources.
The principles of academic honesty, integrity, and responsible citizenship govern the performance of all academic work and student conduct at the University as they have during the long life of this institution.
Your acceptance of enrollment in the University presupposes a commitment to the principles embodied in the Code of Student Conduct and a respect for the most significant Carolina tradition.
Your reward is in the practice of these principles.
Your participation in this course comes with the expectation that your work will be completed in full observance of the Code of Conduct.
You are encouraged to work together with your fellow students and to share knowledge and learning.
To be clear about it, this is a good place to state that you may use any generative AI/Large Language Model tools to assist you in learning. Be aware, however, that while such tools may be helpful for some academic tasks, they may not be as useful for the tasks in this class, this semester.
Remember - academic dishonesty in any form is unacceptable, because any breach in academic integrity, however small, strikes destructively at the University's life and work.
human values
What this faculty stands for
In support of the University's goals and the mission of the School of Information and Library Science, SILS embraces the identities of everyone as an ethical and societal value.
We broadly define identities to include (but not limited to) race, gender, national origin, ethnicity, religion, social class, age, sexual orientation, occupational experiences, and physical and learning ability.
As an academic community committed to preparing our graduates to be leaders in an increasingly multicultural and global society we strive to:
- Ensure inclusive leadership, policies and practices;
- Integrate multiple perspectives into the curriculum and research;
- Foster a mutually respectful intellectual environment in which diverse opinions are valued;
- Recruit traditionally underrepresented groups of students, faculty and staff; and
- Participate in outreach to underserved groups in the State.
The statement represents a commitment of resources to the development and maintenance of an academic environment that is open, representative, reflective and committed to the concepts of inclusiveness and fairness.
Remember, on occasion you may have felt yourself to be a member of a minority group, perhaps perceived to have been less than equally treated by a majority group. Here at school, you may find those roles reversed. Do not fall prey to the temptation to use your new majority sensibility to reverse the roles toward those who may have been perceived to have treated you poorly in the past, when you were in a minority group. Treating others as you would have them treat you is always a good rule to follow.
