Academic Misconduct - the Why
Why do Students Engage in Academic Misconduct?
Internal and external sources of pressure (Cornell University, 2016)
Lack of “joy in learning” (as cited in Pavela, 2016)
It seems like a victimless crime (as cited in Pulvers & Diekhoff, 1999)
Lack of procedural knowledge (Cornell University, 2016)

![Page 18: LIBBY SPOTTS & LAURA MALS](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011820/61d5c1ca5ee1686c682a13e6/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Disruptive Behavior
Step #1: Notice it.
Step #2: Acknowledge it by confronting it.
Step #3: Act on it / Report.
![Page 19: LIBBY SPOTTS & LAURA MALS](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011820/61d5c1ca5ee1686c682a13e6/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Disruptive Behavior – Step 1
Step #1: Ask the student to immediately and respectfully end the behavior by:
Asking the student to stay after class so that you can discuss why the behavior is inappropriate or disruptive
ORTaking a break during class and asking the student to end the behavior
![Page 20: LIBBY SPOTTS & LAURA MALS](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011820/61d5c1ca5ee1686c682a13e6/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Disruptive Behavior – Step 2 Step #2 (if behavior continues):
Let the student know that they will need to meet with you as soon as possible about his/her continued behavior.
Follow up in writing to the student via email outlining the behavior, the rules that were violated, and future expectations for class participation through a written warning.
The warning should also include notice that any subsequent violation of the classroom rules will result in the instructor filing a Student Code of Conduct report with the Office of Student Conduct for disruptive behavior and failure to comply.
Follow-through and Follow-up
![Page 21: LIBBY SPOTTS & LAURA MALS](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011820/61d5c1ca5ee1686c682a13e6/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Disruptive Behavior – Step 3 Step #3: If the student has not changed his/her behavior, consult with
the Office of Student Conduct:
A report should be submitted:via email to the Office of Student Conduct at [email protected] online form at https://studentaffairs.indiana.edu/student-
conduct/file-a-report.shtml
Someone will contact you for additional details and documentation.
Always keep your supervisor, department head, or dean notified as well.
If you would like to consult prior to submitting a report, call OSC at 812-855-5419 or email OSC at [email protected]
![Page 22: LIBBY SPOTTS & LAURA MALS](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011820/61d5c1ca5ee1686c682a13e6/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Tips for Addressing Disruptive Behavior If you meet with a disruptive student, do it privately (meaning not in
front of a class).
– You may need to have colleagues or a supervisor present
– Remain calm
– Be specific with the student regarding behavior
– Review classroom policies
– Ask questions
– Focus on areas of agreement
– Document everything
![Page 23: LIBBY SPOTTS & LAURA MALS](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011820/61d5c1ca5ee1686c682a13e6/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Threatening Behavior
If you meet with a troubled student, be sure to establish a connection with others. Let someone know.
Ask another person to meet the student with you.
Step #1: Leave the area immediately.
Step #2: Call the police by dialing 9-1-1.
Step #3: Anyone who observes what appears to be threatening behavior must report it to the Office of Student Conduct or Dean of Students Office.
Threatening behavior requires us all to act.

![Page 48: LIBBY SPOTTS & LAURA MALS](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022011820/61d5c1ca5ee1686c682a13e6/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Things to Consider Keep the needs of the student(s) and community in mind (including respondent)
Primary goal is to maintain a safe, non-discriminatory environment for all students
When someone shares information about an incident of sexual misconduct:
– Listen without judgment (Avoid questions that imply blame or second guess behavior)
– Avoid using words that question their actions like “why did (or didn’t) you…” or “You should…”
– Ask how you can help
– Remind them that the incident is not their fault
– Be patient. It may be hard for the person to describe what happened and they may seem confused
