UNIVERSITY POLICY
In June 2005 a statement on six principles of academic freedom and intellectual diversity on American campuses was released by the American Council on Education (ACE), the major coordinating body for the nation's higher education institutions, of which Ohio State is a member. Ohio State is unwavering in its commitment to these principles of academic rights and responsibilities. Ohio's Inter-University Council (IUC), a statewide consortium of public universities, endorsed these principles in October 2005. It then passed a resolution recommending that all four-year public universities in Ohio communicate these principles to their campus communities. OSU President Karen A. Holbrook was among the 15 presidents of those Ohio universities to sign the resolution.
The University and the Committee on Academic Misconduct (COAM) presume that all students have read and understand the university's Code of Student Conduct. Executive Vice President and Provost Snyder recommends that faculty review this policy with their students. Also see:
