Purpose and Summary

This revised Policy defines research misconduct and the scope of allegations of research misconduct that will be considered under the Policy. The associated procedures detail how the University responds to allegations of research misconduct.

The current "Investigations of Misconduct in Scholarly, Creative, and Research Activities Policy” is more than 10 years old and is long overdue for updating. The proposed revisions aim to rename the Policy, streamline, clarify, and simplify the Policy, and reduce faculty burden. The procedures are decoupled from the Policy.
