PSU values diversity and inclusion; we are committed to fostering mutual respect and full participation for all students. My goal is to create a learning environment that is safe, equitable, useable, inclusive, and welcoming.

 

Title IX Reporting Obligations

As an instructor, one of my responsibilities is to help create a safe learning environment for my students and for the campus as a whole.  As a member of the university community, I have the responsibility to report any instances of sexual harassment, sexual violence and/or other forms of prohibited discrimination.  If you would rather share information about sexual harassment, sexual violence or discrimination to a confidential employee who does not have this reporting responsibility, you can find a list of those individuals. For more information about Title IX please complete the required student module Creating a Safe Campus in your D2L.

 

Access and Inclusion for Students

If any aspects of instruction or course design result in barriers to your inclusion or learning, please notify me. The Disability Resource Center (DRC) provides reasonable accommodations for students who encounter barriers in the learning environment.

 

If you have, or think you may have, a disability that may affect your work in this class and feel you need accommodations, contact the Disability Resource Center to schedule an appointment and initiate a conversation about reasonable accommodations. The DRC is located in 116 Smith Memorial Student Union, 503-725-4150, drc@pdx.edu, https://www.pdx.edu/drc.

 

*        If you already have accommodations, please contact me to make sure that I have received a faculty notification letter and discuss your accommodations.

*        Students who need accommodations for tests and quizzes are expected to schedule their tests to overlap with the time the class is taking the test.

*        Please be aware that the accessible tables or chairs in the room should remain available for students who find that standard classroom seating is not useable. 

*        For information about emergency preparedness, please go to the Fire and Life Safety webpage(https://www.pdx.edu/environmental-health-safety/fire-and-life-safety) for information.

 

Policy on Academic Honesty

Any type of academically and ethically dishonest work (plagiarism, copying someone else's work, etc.) may result in an automatic "F" for the assignment and, when appropriate, a report filed with the Office of Student Affairs. The PSU Bulletin includes the following statement on Academic Honesty: "The Student Conduct Code, which applies to all students, prohibits all forms of academic cheating, fraud, and dishonesty. These acts include, but are not limited to, plagiarism, buying and selling of course assignments and research papers, performing academic assignments including tests and examinations for other persons, unauthorized disclosure and receipt academic information, and other practices commonly understood to be academically dishonest." A digital copy of the PSU Bulletin is available at: https://www.pdx.edu/academic-affairs/psu-bulletin.
