Campus Judicial Report
Campus NewsApril 14, 2010
Version A or Version B: A sophomore was referred to Student Judicial Affairs (SJA) for copying during an exam. The student was unaware of the fact that there were two versions of the exam and copied three answers from a classmate who had the other version. The teaching assistant for the class noticed the mismatch of answers and reported the incident to SJA. The student admitted to cheating and stated that she didn’t have enough time to complete the exam. She also acknowledged that she was hoping to gain a few extra points because she was on Academic Probation at the time and was afraid of failing the exam. Since this was the student’s first referral to Student Judicial Affairs, she agreed to Disciplinary Probation for a year and 10 hours of community service.
