Information for Faculty & Staff
This information aims to assist faculty and staff in maintaining positive relationships with their students and provides guidance on how to handle incidents involving classroom disruption or students of concern.
Reporting a Student Behavior Concern
Reports should be made when the faculty or staff member has made an individual attempt to rectify the behavior, but has been unsuccessful or for the following occurrences:
- Repeated interruption of classroom environment or normal university operations,
- Threats or overt acts of violence, or
- Student is exhibiting erratic behavior or other concerns.
SARP recommends that you document any and all incidents, even those you do not intend to report. Providing more information will aid in the adjudication process, expedite resolution and assist our office in the event that the student needs to be referred to other resources (i.e. to address a mental health concern). When documenting a student's behavior, it is best to be as detailed as possible about the student's language and/or behaviors.
If you feel your safety or the safety of your class is jeopardized, contact TUPD immediately at 410-704-4444.
Reporting an Academic Integrity Concern
The Office of Student Accountability and Restorative Practices serves as the repository for reports of academic dishonesty, provides reactive education for students who have been found in violation and implements the accountability process for students who face second or subsequent violations.
If you have specific questions about the Student Academic Integrity Policy, process or procedures, contact Associate Director Michael Youngborg at myoungborg AT_TOWSON
Submit an Academic Integrity Violation Form
Faculty can submit the when they have found a student in violation of the Student Academic Integrity Policy.
Please note: This form acts as a letter to the student outlining the violation, penalty imposed, and the appeal process, and copies the student, the Chair of the Department, and SARP. By using this form, faculty no longer need to send a separate letter to the student.
