assignment or homework. The instructor must then write a report of the incident

College Council may be satisfied with the instructor’s punishment for the student,
or it may refer the case to the Academic Disciplinary Committee, which in turn
makes the necessary investigations and submits its recommendations to the
college dean, in accordance with the student disciplinary rules. A student has the
