Academic Honesty and Professional Misconduct
If you have experience with American higher education this section will tell you nothing new.
Instructors expect that course work represents individual effort which will limit group work to studying for exams, unless otherwise stated.
If you are a T.A. be very careful whenever you suspect that students of yours are violating academic conduct standards. Consult with the instructor in charge. Academic misconduct is a mine field.
If you are a victim of professorial misconduct, there are many ways to deal with it. You should first consider contacting either the Graduate Chairs, the department chair, any faculty you trust, someone on CSEGSA, or OGSR. We urge you to talk to someone about any problem - we don't feel this is the kind of place where one has to fear recriminations. However, if you do not want to talk to anyone right away, you can seal a description of the incident in an envelope and give it to OGSR with a note explaining what it is and ask that it is not to be opened until after you graduate. This will not help you but might improve the situation in the future.
As a T.A. you are subjected to similar expectations of conduct as instructors. The office of T.A. Development (534-6767) is eager to explain all the details, but what it means most importantly is that your students are tabu from any romantic intentions you might have. It is supposed to work the other way too. Infractions are only tolerated by the university if committed with extreme discretion and can lead to difficult situations anyway.
