What the campus policy and CSU Executive Order 1098 say about how cases proceed

Who may be present

A student "may elect to be accompanied by an Advisor of their choice," but "[w]hoever is selected as an Advisor is limited to observing and consulting with, and providing support to, the Complainant, witness, or Student charged." Further: "An Advisor may not speak on a Student's or Complainant's behalf." An attorney-advisor is available only in specified circumstances. The hearing is recorded: "The Hearing Officer shall make an official audio recording of the hearing... The recording is University Property. No other recording of the hearing is permitted." — CSU Executive Order 1098, Article III (retrieved Sep 26, 2026) · Executive Order 1098 (PDF)

What follows on the record

An Academic Dishonesty Incident Report (ADIR) filed for an instructor-level academic sanction "will remain on file for five years or until you graduate, whichever comes first" and "is not part of the student's official transcript." For an administrative sanction, CSU Executive Order 1098, Article V states: "A record of disciplinary probation or suspension is entered on a student's transcript, with its beginning and end date, for the duration of the sanction. A record of expulsion or suspension for one academic year or more shall note the effective date of discipline and remains on the transcript permanently, without exception." — Academic Dishonesty (campus page); CSU Executive Order 1098, Article V (both retrieved Sep 26, 2026) · Academic Dishonesty

The two questions an adviser raises first, answered from this institution's own published documents — or recorded as not stated in them.

The campus's own Academic Dishonesty page (no on-page revision date; retrieved Sep 26, 2026) describes the instructor-level process and its own appeal path:

Source: Academic Dishonesty. DSCRR is the page's own abbreviation for the Director of Student Conduct, Rights and Responsibilities. Where the matter proceeds to an administrative hearing, CSU Executive Order 1098's Article III (the track that governs student conduct matters not involving discrimination, harassment, or related misconduct — the track under which academic dishonesty falls) sets the evidentiary standard: "The standard of proof the Hearing Officer shall use is whether the University's charge is sustained by a Preponderance of the Evidence. It is the University's burden to show that it is 'more likely than not' that the Student violated the Student Conduct Code." SUBSTANTIVE FINDING: Article III's own text, as read in this review, ends with the campus president's final decision and states no further appeal from that decision — a Chancellor's-Office appeal right exists only under Article IV, the separate track for discrimination- and harassment-related conduct matters, not for an ordinary academic-dishonesty case decided under Article III. What any of this means for a particular case is for the institution and its process to determine; these are reproduced so you can read the originals in context.

Revision history of this page

2026-09-26 — Page created by a scheduled, unattended build pass. All quotations retrieved this date from the csueastbay.edu, csueastbay.screenstepslive.com and csuchico.edu-hosted pages linked beside them; the AI-detection help article displays "Updated on Mar 17, 2025," the Faculty Development calendar entry displays "Aug 13, 2026," the campus Policy on Academic Dishonesty PDF displays "Policy revision approved 08-09," and the campus Academic Dishonesty webpage displays no on-page revision date. Detection-inventory sweep performed: named-vendor sweep (Turnitin, Turnitin AI writing indicator, SimCheck, Originality, Copyleaks, iThenticate, GPTZero, Originality.ai, Winston AI, Crossplag, ZeroGPT, Packback, Grammarly Authorship, Honorlock, Proctorio, Respondus, Examity) and category sweep (the Online Tools Help site, the ITS AI Software page, the Faculty Development calendar, and the Policy on Academic Dishonesty) of csueastbay.edu and its help-site subdomain. NOT DISQUALIFIED: a documented, presently-deployed tool (available since 3/19/25) with caution language attached rather than a disabling or recommendation-against statement — the auburn/georgiatech/etsu pattern. REUSED FROM THIS COLLECTION: CSU Executive Order 1098 is the same systemwide document already established for csuf, csulb, csun and sfsu earlier in this queue; its advisor, recording, preponderance and transcript-notation provisions were independently re-fetched and re-quoted from the csuchico.edu-hosted mirror for this page rather than assumed unchanged, since calstate.policystat.com is not reliably plain-fetchable, the same substitution those four pages already use. SUBSTANTIVE FINDING, read directly from the Executive Order's own article structure rather than assumed from precedent: Article III (the non-discrimination track academic dishonesty falls under) states no appeal from the campus president's final decision; the Chancellor's-Office appeal Article IV.H describes belongs only to the separate discrimination/harassment track and was NOT used for the general academic-dishonesty process, avoiding the error of importing a Title-IX-track appeal right into an ordinary case. CAMPUS POLICY IS DATED: the underlying Policy on Academic Dishonesty PDF's own citation to "Chancellor's Executive Order No. 148, 'Revised Student Disciplinary Procedures' (1972)" for administrative-sanction appeals is superseded by Executive Order 1098 and is reproduced here only to note the page's own citation is stale, not as a current authority; the campus's live Academic Dishonesty webpage has been updated to name the current office (Director of Student Conduct, Rights and Responsibilities) even though the underlying 2008-09 PDF still uses an older title. OMBUDS TRAP CAUGHT: CSUEB's own 2016 announcement of its Ombuds Services describes the office as giving "faculty and staff access to an independent, neutral resource" — no student-facing role is named anywhere in that announcement or elsewhere on csueastbay.edu found in this review, and a third-party 2023 CSU systemwide compliance document suggesting the position was vacant was not used, since it is not a csueastbay.edu source and the office's scope (faculty/staff only) is the more load-bearing fact regardless of whether it is currently staffed. OFFICE: no email address for Student Conduct, Rights and Responsibilities was found published on the office's own pages; only a phone number and suite location are given. Nothing paraphrase-pending. Subreddit demand scan not run (outside this run's research method). Internet Archive captures: to be added. Reviewer: Carrie Schluter (review confirmed 2026-09-27).
