STUDENT CONDUCT & COMMUNITY STANDARDS ANNUAL REPORT 22-23

Academic Year 22-23: August 1, 2022 – July 31, 2023

Prepared by: Kyle Wilson, Director of Student Conduct & Community Standards

Definitions
1. Maxfest: the annual conference for Maxient,
2. Maxient: the conduct software we use within Student Conduct & Community Standards to track conduct and academic integrity issues. Additionally, the Bias Incident Response Group, Care Team, Student Health Services, General Counsel, Office of Institutional Equity and Compliance, and Student Advocate utilize this system to track a variety of cases.
3. Association of Student Conduct Administrators (ASCA): the national organization for conduct offices in the US and Canada.

Summary/Narrative
1. What did the department help to enhance recruitment and/or retention efforts?
Student Conduct & Community Standards (SCCS) helps with retention efforts by keeping a safe campus environment through the adjudication of conduct issues. Additionally, through the assignment of educational sanctions, we allow students who have made mistakes to learn and grow from them, so they can continue to be active members of the campus community. Lastly, SCCS makes appropriate referrals to campus offices during conversations with students to help the student feel connected at WSU.

SCCS does not help with recruitment efforts in any meaningful way, beyond presenting at orientations for all incoming shockers. Our presentation includes information on the conduct and academic integrity process, where to file reports, and how we help promote a safe campus environment.

2. How did you support/advance the other University Plans or Goals (i.e., DEI Plan, Strategic Plan)?
Note: SEM Goals and the Student Affairs Action Plan were retired after the 2021-2022 Academic Year. This changed to the University Retention Plan, which is still in development.

4. Student Employees

Grace (Graduate Student) has been a valuable asset in our office with her skills using Canva to create multiple promotional items for SCCS. She has had the opportunity to attend the ASCA Annual Conference with the office in January 2023. She plans to continue serving as the SCCS Grad through the 23-24 Academic Year.

Budget

1. Funds spent on Professional Development (Conference Registration, Travel, Food, Webinars, etc.)

a. Airfare Expenses: $2,301
b. Meals: $5,753
c. Registration Conferences and Webinars): $1,785
d. Total: $9,839

The funds spent on professional development continue to help all SCCS staff learn best practices, network with professionals across the country, and represent Wichita State on a National Level through our presentations. In the 22-23 academic year, our entire team (Director, Coordinator, and Graduate Assistant) attended the ASCA Annual Conference in Portland, OR. Kyle and Liz presented a program at that conference. Additionally, the Director for SCCS attended Maxfest in Minneapolis, MN. At that conference, Kyle presented a program. As a program presenter Kyle received free registration for the conference, helping stretch our professional development dollars through other
avenues. In addition to those two larger conferences, SCCS used these professional development funds to host multiple webinars through the academic year, which included partnering with other offices to ensure cross department learning.

2. Funds Spent on Marketing Materials

a. Printing: $331

The funds spent on marketing materials allow our office to be forward facing at the university. These documents allow students, staff, and faculty to learn more about the processes we have in place at WSU and provide opportunities for anyone to volunteer within our office and serve on the Student Conduct Board or Academic Integrity Committee. We created multiple new flyers/handouts this academic year to continue to support the work we do.

3. Funds spent on Office Hospitality

a. Hospitality: $309

The funds spent on hospitality allow students to have a drink or snack while meeting with us. This helps create a more friendly and calm environment within our office as well as providing small items for students who may be struggling with food insecurity. If we find out a student is struggling with food insecurity, we also ensure they are referred to the Shocker Support Locker.

Department Goals

1. What was accomplished over 2022-23?
Note: Predetermined Department Goals are listed below with how we did or did not meet them through the year.

a. SCCS will enhance and expand their applied learning opportunities through their training and increased
student, staff, and faculty involvement on the hearing boards.

i. SCCS continued to train new students and faculty within our Academic Integrity Committee. While more work could be done to recruit students who are in related majors, such as criminal justice, we believe that the Academic Integrity Committee and Student Conduct Board continues to provide meaningful experiences with transferable skills for all students, staff, and faculty to continue their growth. These hearings do provide students the opportunity to collaborate with
staff and faculty inside and outside of their field of study, which allows them to gain additional partnerships across the institution. This goal will continue to be expanded on in the next academic year. 

b. SCCS will decrease the average amount of time from case creation to resolution of academic integrity cases to a maximum of 14 calendar days. In the 21-22 academic year our average turnaround time for all academic integrity cases from creation to adjudication was 19.51 calendar days.

i. Unfortunately, SCCS did not meet this goal. The 22-23 academic year average turnaround time for all academic integrity cases from creation to adjudication was 22.86 days. Specifically, in the 22-23 academic year we received 183 reports in the month of October alone, and this really slowed down our hearing process. Additionally, with only 1 faculty representative from each college serving on the Academic Integrity Committee, it continues to be a challenge to schedule hearings in a timely manner. For cases where students accept responsibility and do not go to a hearing, our average turnaround time for those cases from creation to adjudication is 10.71 days. SCCS will continue to strengthen its partnership with faculty senate and see what we can do to lower this turnaround time in the next academic year.

c. SCCS will develop a more robust assessment plan for all areas of our work. All these assessment strategies will align with university and divisional assessment goals.

i. SCCS continues to thrive in assessment. While assessment initiatives have changed over the last academic year, SCCS has continued to support new assessment initiatives while also ensuring we conduct robust assessments throughout our process. SCCS continues to assess all hearing officers, sanctions, and pulls additional data from the Maxient database.

SCCS has been more proactive in the last academic year with sharing our assessment results out with the community through our data and analytics section of our website, WSU Today and ShockerBlast. We created and conducted a faculty satisfaction survey on the academic integrity process in the 22-23 academic year. We developed a standard of postings for ShockerBlast and WSU Today to ensure the campus community knew the great work our office was doing, as well
as reminding folks about the Report It website. Lastly, we worked very hard to create more marketing materials based off feedback from students, faculty, and staff to show the tools and resources that our office has for their disposal. These marketing materials were created with common policy violations in mind, such as the conflict management handout and the AI (Artificial Intelligence) v AI (Academic Integrity) handout.

SCCS staff continued to show that we are at the forefront of assessment work by presenting on this topic at two national conferences in the 22-23 academic year.

d. SCCS will be more intentional with Academic Integrity Outreach initiatives to continue to educate students, staff, and faculty on academic integrity issues and the academic integrity process at WSU.

i. While SCCS has made huge strides in this area within the 22-23 academic year, there is still a lot of work to be done. As mentioned above, SCCS created and analyzed the data for a faculty satisfaction survey on the academic integrity process. Through the 23-24 academic year we will work to improve on the areas that were brought to our attention in that survey. All the survey results have been posted on our website in the data and analytics section.

SCCS also created additional materials for academic integrity education. We now have both the AI (Artificial Intelligence) v AI (Academic Integrity) handout and the Academic Integrity Brochure.

SCCS has led more trainings for academic integrity in the 22-23 academic year, than we have in
the past. These trainings expanded to meet the needs of more departments and a wider range
of individuals, such as GTA’s. SCCS also attended more student facing programs where we were
able to talk about academic integrity, such as the syllabus party and various tabling events
throughout the year. SCCS is in the process of scheduling monthly trainings for academic
integrity that will be offered through the MyTrainings portal at WSU. Lastly, SCCS is working with Alicia Newell to ensure we are presenting to each dean at WSU regarding academic integrity data for their specific college.

We are hopeful to discuss more of these initiatives in the next annual report as this will remain a
goal for our office. There is still a lot more work to do. 

2. What are your goals for 2023-24?

a. SCCS will expand proactive outreach to educate students, faculty, and staff on SCCS process and data.

i. Set by Alicia Newell

b. SCCS will enhance and expand their applied learning opportunities for students throughout the office.
This includes, but is not limited to, 1) Academic Integrity Committee, 2) Student Conduct Hearing Board,
and 3) Graduate Assistant Position.

c. SCCS will be more intentional with Academic Integrity Outreach initiatives to continue to educate
students, staff, and faculty on academic integrity issues and the academic integrity process at WSU. This
will include addressing the concerns identified in the faculty satisfaction survey for Academic Integrity.

d. SCCS will enhance the student experience by planning at least one program in the 23-24 academic year,
support more campus partner events (move in, graduation, signature series events, etc.), and will pledge
monetary sponsorships to support programs that align with our office’s values and initiatives.

3. What are the priorities for the upcoming school year?

a. SCCS will continue to focus on developing our partnership with academic affairs, as well as educating
students, staff, and faculty about academic integrity. (Meets Goal C above)

b. SCCS will continue to improve the utilization of Maxient across departments through training and
support.

c. SCCS will continue to support campus partners through active participation in programming efforts,
training, and other events such as residence hall “move-in” to enhance the student experience at WSU.
(Meets goal D above)

Learning Outcomes

1. Highlight any departmental and/or program specific outcomes. What are they and how were they assessed?

a. SCCS will utilize their “SCCS Hearing Administrator Survey – Academic Integrity” to assess hearing
administrators’ ability to conduct informational meetings. The results of this survey will be used to
inform policy changes as well as additional training and support for hearing administrators. The target is
to receive a 4 out of 5 on each question asked.

i. SCCS will obtain an average score of at least a 4 out of 5 on the scale administered in the
Academic Integrity Administrator Survey where a student indicates they were treated fairly by
the SCCS office. (See KPI listed above for more details)

b. SCCS will utilize their “SCCS Hearing Administrator Survey – Conduct” to assess hearing administrators’
ability to conduct informational meetings. The results of this survey will be used to inform policy
changes as well as additional training and support for hearing administrators, especially those in
Housing and Residence Life. The target is to receive a 4 out of 5 on each question asked.

i. SCCS will obtain an average score of at least a 4 out of 5 on the scale administered in the
Conduct Administrator Survey where a student indicates they were treated fairly by the SCCS
office. (See KPI listed above for more details)

c. SCCS will utilize the “SCCS Sanction survey” to determine the effectiveness of sanctions assigned to
students throughout the Academic Integrity and Student Conduct Processes. These results will help
determine what sanctions need to be re-worked and what sanctions have the greatest impact among
students. 

d. SCCS will support the Retention Plan by providing the appropriate metrics for the initiatives we are
required to report on. (See “Summary/Narrative” section above for more details)

e. SCCS will track the Recidivism rate for Alcohol/Drugs charges through Maxient. The target is to have a
0% recidivism rate. (See KPI listed above for more details)

f. SCCS will track the Recidivism rate for Academic Integrity charges through Maxient. The target is to
have a 0% recidivism rate. (See KPI listed above for more details)

g. SCCS will improve on the key areas identified in the Faculty Satisfaction survey for Academic Integrity.
Those areas were identified as 1) Increased Student Conduct and College Partnerships, 2) Report Form
enhancements, 3) Provide more training opportunities, and 4) Hearing process clarification.
