Colleges and universities in Oregon have increased the use of online education and technology, and as a result, college students can, unfortunately, often find themselves accused of academic misconduct involving either taking of an online exam or their submission of an online assignment. Allegations of this nature can vary. They can include unauthorized collaboration, using unauthorized resources including internet resources, having unauthorized assistance, plagiarism, violation of testing conditions.
Professors are often quick to accuse a student without completing a full investigation, and often without interviewing a student. Schools are often in a rush to judgment. Defending against allegations of this nature requires a very careful analysis of the exam or assignment in question and anything related, in addition to the response to the exam or assignment so that it can be determined exactly what took place, and whether there is an alternative explanation to the allegations of academic misconduct.
Having an experienced attorney advisor will be your best ally to help you understand and navigate the disciplinary process at your school and to best defend against charges of this nature.
