Facts:

This has been very long in the making. The primary focus is on faculty who engage in research or other scholarly misconduct. Please review it carefully. While the Procedures that implement this policy do not belong to the Senate, I've included a copy so Senators can see how they are being implemented. The Policy Committee gave significant input into the procedures.
