Academic Integrity Policy All students are subject to the UIS policy on Academic Integrity, which states, in part: Academic integrity is at the heart of the University's commitment to academic excellence. The UIS community strives to communicate and support clear standards of integrity, so that undergraduate and graduate students can internalize those standards and carry them forward in their personal and professional lives. Living a life with integrity prepares students to assume leadership roles in their communities as well as in their chosen profession. Alumni can be proud of their education and the larger society will benefit from the University's contribution to the development of ethical leaders. Violations of academic integrity demean the violator, degrade the learning process, deflate the meaning of grades, discredit the accomplishments of past and present students, and tarnish the reputation of the University for all its members. Academic sanctions range from a warning to expulsion from the university, depending on the severity of your violation and your history of violations. Whatever the sanction, instructors are required to file a report of academic dishonesty to the Office of the Provost. You are responsible for understanding and complying with the UIS Academic Integrity Policy  HYPERLINK "http://www.uis.edu/campussenate/AcademicIntegrity.htm" http://www.uis.edu/campussenate/AcademicIntegrity.htm August 27 Seminar Outline Session 1: Illinois Political Culture and Politics Readings: Illinois Politics - Chapter One Illinois in Perspective Illinois Politics - Chapter Two Power Parties, Groups and the Media Engines of Democracy - Chapter One Why legislatures are not appreciated Almanac of IL Politics 2006 - Redfield: Living up to low standards (Blackboard Posting) Senate President John Cullerton Op-Ed on Ethics Reform (Backboard posting) Elazar Marketplace, Commonwealth, and the Three Political Cultures (Blackboard posting) Topics: Types of Political Culture: Individualistic, Moralistic and Traditionalistic Does Illinois Have a Political Culture?
