5.3. Academic Misconduct

TAs hold positions of responsibility. For this reason academic misconduct by a TA is a particularly grave situation, and the department has adopted a rule that academic misconduct by a TA can be grounds for termination of the TA position. Moreover the department will not offer TA positions to students with a record of academic misconduct.
