Montana State Student Code of Conduct

We recently posted a picture of Tia and Kori (although mislabeled Tia and Kia) working hard on our presentation for the ASMSU Senators.  We realized that we did this without even explaining what we are looking to achieve!  The Academic Integrity Club is spear-heading change in the Montana State Student Code of Conduct to include a new academic expectation and a definition of Academic Integrity.  The exact wording for our proposed changes are as follows:     

APPENDIX A

We propose the following additions to the Student Code of Conduct

310.00 ACADEMIC EXPECTATIONS
G. conduct themselves honestly and with integrity

340.10 ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
Students must adhere to a high standard of moral and ethical principles in
scholarship. Students create a culture in which peers are encouraged to inspire
one another to perform scholarship with high levels of truthfulness and respect for
others’ work.

We would like to gain the unanimous support from the Student Senate so we can fight for these changes with a unified student voice.  We realize that this small change will not alter the academic culture at MSU but we hope, with a successful campaign, this can set a precedence for involvement for both the Academic Integrity Club and the MSU student body.
