III. The Faculty Member as Teacher and Advisor

As teachers, professors seek to encourage the free pursuit of learning. They should adhere to the best scholarly standards of the discipline. They should demonstrate respect for the student as an individual and adhere to the role as intellectual guide and counselor. They should make every reasonable effort to ensure honest academic conduct and to that the evaluation of students reflects their true merit. They should respect the confidential nature of the relationship between professor and student.

Every academic year, the Office of the Provost publishes and distributes an updated version of the official Academic Regulations. Faculty members should refer to this publication on all issues relating to undergraduate academic policies.
