As an instructor, part of your academic duty is to ensure your students are well informed about what constitutes academic misconduct and what penalties exist. Direct your students to the links above and make use of the following documents.

Faculty of Science Statement on Academic Dishonesty.

The Faculty of Science Dean’s Office and Department Heads have worked together to create the following working guidelines to help us all navigate the difficult arena of conflicts of interest between spouses and partners. We have deliberately tried to provide a general approach, as opposed to attempting to address each type of conflict that may arise, to leave the required flexibility, but also provide the required perspectives.

Guiding principle:

An employee of the University must not supervise his or her partner/spouse, or make decisions/recommendations that affect the partner in anyway, directly or indirectly.

With regards to a direct supervisory role:
- a Dean must not supervise an AD or Head or support staff member or graduate student who is a partner;

A partner elected to a search committee for a faculty position, Head or Dean must recuse herself/himself if their partner applies for the

A partner must not provide input to a committee considering a partner’s application or nomination.
A partner must recuse herself/himself from the consideration of any matters affecting their partner (be the partner faculty, staff, or student) in Department Council or on any
The above list is not intended to be exhaustive and if other perceived conflicts of interest appear in other situations, they should be addressed to the Dean, or if involving the Dean, or to the Provost.
