2.7 POLICY FOR PROMOTION OF ACADEMIC INTEGRITY AND
PREVENTION OF PLAGIARISM

CHARUSAT strongly recommends honesty and integrity in all academic work.

Academic Integrity is an ethical practice that means students are achieving academic
success fairly. It suggests that all results that are achieved are earned honestly. Your
education is an investment; not maintaining academic integrity may devalue your
education, which affects the worth of your degree. Academic Integrity is essential for
any society, as people citizens need to trust that who are in positions of authority have
earned their credentials rightfully. Students are expected to exhibit integrity by being
truthful about their own academic work and properly acknowledging sources of ideas
and information.
 Cheating in any form is not tolerated (Cheating Includes)
 Assignment, such as requesting or accepting answers on a quiz or test from
another student who has already taken it,
 Discussing test information to any extent with other students, transmitting
quizzes or tests or answers to quizzes or tests electronically to other students via
cellphone, email, etc.
 Including turning in someone's work as one's own (another student's, a purchased
paper from an online source, etc.)

 Plagiarism is another form of cheating and academic dishonesty. Intentional

or unintentional plagiarism is an offense. (Plagiarism includes)
 Use to any degree of the ideas or words of one's source material without proper
acknowledgement. Plagiarism typically takes two forms.
 Failure to acknowledge the use of an author's ideas or organization by footnote
or identification of the source in the text of the paper.
 Incomplete paraphrase (mere rearrangement of syntax and substitution of
synonyms for the author's words) is plagiarism.
 Failure to acknowledge the use of an author's words by quotation marks, as well
as by footnote or identification in the text.
 You may consult your teacher or counselor to know more on how to avoid
cheating, plagiarism and maintain academic integrity.

3.7 EQUAL OPPORTUNITY CELL
CHARUSAT has been established in rural location with objective of providing growth
opportunities to rural community -one as the major disadvantaged compared to urban sections.
CHARUSAT believes in inclusive growth and makes continuous efforts to provide opportunities
to all disadvantaged sections of the University. With this aim, it is proposed to establish an Equal
Opportunity Cell (EOC) for creative interaction and promotion of equality among all the
stakeholders of the University; mainly the students and employees of University. It is an effort to
ensure that all the stakeholders have a fair chance to avail opportunities being created by University.
These opportunities can be of pursuing education and research, seeking employment and business
opportunities and participation in University activities.

The University aims to provide employee and students with an educational and employment
environment that provides equal opportunity and is free from unlawful discrimination,
discriminatory harassment, sexual harassment, bullying and victimization.

Scope : EOC works for affirmative action for all the employees and students of the CHARUSAT.

Objectives : The EOC oversees the effective implementation of the principle of equal opportunities
to all. The main objectives of the cell are mentioned below:
1. To ensure equity and equal opportunity to the community at large in the University and
bring about social inclusion.
2. To recommend and oversee the implementation of policies and programmes for the
disadvantaged groups.
3. To recommend measures to enhance the diversity among the students and employees and
at the same time foster the principle of equal opportunity.
4. To create congenial atmosphere for academic interaction and for the growth of healthy
interpersonal relationships among the students coming from various social backgrounds.
5. To make efforts to sensitize the academic community regarding the problems associated
with social exclusion as well as aspirations of the marginalized communities.
6. To look into the grievances of the discrimination of any kind and suggest amicable
solutions.
7. To disseminate the information related to schemes and programmes,
notifications/memoranda, office orders of the Government, or other related
agencies/organizations issued from time to time for the welfare of the socially weaker
section.
8. To prepare barrier free formalities/procedures for admission/ registration of students
belonging to the disadvantaged groups of society.
9. To establish coordination with the Government and other agencies/organizations to
mobilize academic and financial resources to provide assistance to students of the
disadvantaged groups.
10. To coordinate and work with other statutory bodies of the University for the benefit of
disadvantaged groups.
11. To bring awareness about problems faced by disadvantaged groups and methods of
empowerment.

Implementation or Operational aspects : The University will take reasonable and proportionate
measures to eliminate discrimination, sexual harassment, bullying or victimization as far as
possible. Employee and students bound by this policy must comply with all rules and regulations
envisaged in the policy. In particular, employee and students must not engage in behaviour that
constitutes bullying/victimisation/discrimination towards other employee or students, including

Page 54 of 61
physical, visual, verbal and non-verbal behaviour. Failure to do so may lead to the individual being
held legally responsible and serious penalties apply to those who breach the policy.

Advisory Committee : The advisory committee reviews the effective implementation of the
principle of equal opportunities to all irrespective of gender, ability, socio-economic background,
caste, religion or language. Advisory Committee consists of following members:

University to investigate the incident and take appropriate steps to address the situation. The
responsibility to investigate rests with the EOC and not with the employee who receives the
complaint or report. Failure to promptly report may constitute a violation of the EOC Policy.

Interim Protective Measures : The Provost or his/her designee or EOC coordinator may impose
interim protective measures before the final outcome of an investigation if failure to take the interim
measures would constitute a threat to the safety and well-being of the complainant or other
employees or students of the University. Imposing interim protective measures does not indicate
that a violation of this Policy has occurred. These interim measures may include but are not limited
to:
 Issuance of a “no contact” directive;
 Restrictions or bars to entering certain University property;
 Changes to academic or employment arrangements, schedules or supervision;
 Interim suspension; and
 Other measures designed to promote the safety and well-being of the parties.
 In imposing interim measures, the EOC coordinator will attempt to minimize the burden
on both the alleged victim and respondent.

Any party may appeal interim measures in writing to the Provost within two working days of the
party’s receipt of the notification of the restriction. All interim protective measures will remain in
effect during the appeal and thereafter unless modified by the EOC coordinator or Provost or
overturned by the Provost.

Page 55 of 61
Resolution : The amount of time needed to conduct an investigation will depend in part on the
nature of the allegation(s) and the evidence to be investigated (e.g., the scope of the allegations, the
time period and number of events implicated by or relevant to the complaint, the number or
availability of witnesses involved and the volume of documents). Within 60 working days of receipt
of the complaint, the EOC coordinator or his/her designee will provide notice of the outcome of
the investigation or will advise the parties of the additional estimated amount of time needed for
the investigation. Upon conclusion, EOC coordinator or his/her designee will notify the
complainant and respondent, in writing, of the results of the investigation. The written decision will
be disclosed only to the complainant, respondent, and University officials as appropriate to
determine and enforce any remedial actions, discipline or sanctions, and to prepare for any appeals.
The EOC coordinator will follow up as appropriate to ensure that remedial action is effective.
Complainants are encouraged to report any reoccurrences of conduct that were found to violate this
Policy, as well as to report any retaliation for the complaint or related investigation. Remedial and
preventative measures may be imposed by the EOC coordinator even in the absence of a violation
of this Policy if conduct is found to occur that may, if not addressed, rise to the level of a violation.
Any unprofessional conduct or inappropriate behavior found during the course of the investigation
that is not covered by the Policy will be addressed with the respective department or Human
Resources department.

Remedies : Where discrimination or harassment in violation of this Policy is determined to have

occurred, the University will take timely action to remedy the effects. Potential remedies for the
complainant or victim include, but are not limited to:
 Extensions of time to re-do or complete academic work without an academic or financial
penalty;
 Changes to academic or employment arrangements, schedules or supervision that minimize
burden on the complainant or victim;
 Referral to medical, counseling, and academic support services;
 Training/re-training on this Policy and other relevant topics for individuals or groups
implicated in the discrimination or harassment; and
 Other measures designed to repair negative impact of discrimination or harassment.

Sanctions : If a violation of this Policy is found, the level of disciplinary action and type or scope
of sanctions will depend on the severity and nature of the discrimination or harassment, the weight
of the evidence, and the need to maintain a safe and respectful environment. Available sanctions
include, but are not limited to:
 Mandatory training or counseling;
 “No Contact” directive;
 Restriction or bar to entering certain University property or attending University events;
 Written warning;
 Transcript notation;
 Probation;
 Suspension; and
 Expulsion or termination

Right to Appeal : All parties shall have the right to appeal the outcome of the formal process and
decision to the University Provost pursuant to this Policy. The Provost must receive a written appeal
within ten (10) working days after the receipt of the written notification of the decision being
appealed. The Provost or his/her designee may receive additional information if he/she believes
such information would aid in the appeal.

Page 56 of 61
The Provost may overturn or modify a finding or sanction if, in his or her reasonable discretion, he
or she finds any of the following factors had a material impact on the finding or sanction:

 Material failure to comply with applicable procedures in EOC Policy or to conduct a

reasonably thorough investigation;
 Partiality, bias, or conflict of interest by the EOC Coordinator or his/her designee;
 Findings, if not overturned or modified, would result in a substantial injustice to a party or
parties, including a substantially inadequate or excessive sanction; or
 New evidence that was not reasonably available to be presented by the parties during the
course of the investigation.

A decision by the Provost or his/her designee will be made within a reasonable time and the EOC
Coordinator, the complainant, and the respondent will be notified in writing of the decision on the
appeal. During the time of appeal and review, disciplinary action or sanction or
remedial/preventative measures, if any, taken as a result of the original complaint may be
implemented and enforced. Upon the request of the appealing party, the Provost may, in his or her
discretion, temporarily suspend the imposition of the disciplinary action, sanction, or
remedial/preventative measures while the appeal is pending. If an appeal is not filed within the
appeal period, the findings become final and are not subject to any review.
