Academic Misconduct
The Michigan Jewish Institute has made a commitment to provide an academic community and learning environment based on honest inquiry and knowledge. The faculty and administration of the Institute have established the following acts as serious violations of personal honesty and academic ideals that jeopardize the quality of education within an institution of higher learning:
1. Submitting material copied from a published source as one’s own;
2. Submitting another person’s unpublished work or examination material as one’s own;
3. Submitting a rewritten or paraphrased version of another person’s work as one’s own;
4. Purchasing, acquiring and using for course credit a pre-written paper;
5. Allowing another to write or conduct research for a paper that is submitted for course credit; and,
6. Copying electronic or printed materials from any source unlawfully, or without permission or licensing from appropriate publishers, or both.

ncidents of academic dishonesty may lead to the assignment of a failing grade for the course by the instructor. In the event of further instances of academic dishonesty, the Dean will convene a hearing board to consider the seriousness of the misconduct and the imposition of additional sanctions, including expulsion. Students may appeal the decision of the Dean and hearing board to the MJI President, whose decision is final.
