Statement on Equal Opportunity for Students with Disabilities:

As a faculty member at ESU , I am committed to provide equal educational access to otherwise qualified students with disabilities. I believe that an individual's access to opportunities for achievement and personal fulfillment must be determined solely on the basis of the person's ability and interest. Students in any and all of my classes who require special accommodations, auxiliary aids and/or services to ensure equal educational opportunities, regardless of disability, can count on them. I'm always available to discuss and arrange any accommodations required by my students. I'm committed to creating a learning environment where every student feels comfortable, relaxed. Above all is my commitment to students, as a teacher and as a human being.

Statement of Cheating, Plagiarism, and Academic Honesty:

University policy will be strictly adhered to and absolutely no academic impropriety will be tolerated. Students are encouraged to study together and critique each other's work. However, students found discovered to be cheating during exams, students who do not do their own work on papers, or students who fail to adequately give credit to the source for ideas that are not their own will receive an automatic "E" on that assignment and may be subject to dismissal from the class with a course grade of "E." Intellectual integrity is an important component of the academic process. Consult the current Student Handbook for the parameters and consequences of academic dishonesty.
