What UNM's own pages say about how cases proceed

Who may be present

"Subject to the limits set forth in this Policy, both parties have the right to be accompanied by an advisor at a hearing. The advisor may be an attorney retained by a party at their own expense. The advisor, including an attorney advisor, cannot act as a representative of the advisee, cannot have a voice in meetings or hearings and therefore is not permitted to present arguments or evidence or otherwise participate directly in meetings or hearings." Recording of a meeting or hearing is not addressed anywhere in this policy. — Faculty Handbook D175, Section 6.2.6 (effective Feb 7, 2022; retrieved Sep 14, 2026) · D175: Undergraduate Student Conduct and Grievance Procedures

What follows on the record

"Records regarding undergraduate student conduct shall be kept in the Dean of Students Office for a period of ten (10) years after final disposition, except for records of expulsions which shall be permanently maintained." No transcript-notation or third-party-disclosure provision is stated anywhere in the sources reviewed (D175, D100, the Pathfinder's academic-dishonesty and grievance pages, and the Academic Integrity Guide for Students). — Faculty Handbook D175, Section 6.1 (retrieved Sep 14, 2026) · D175: Undergraduate Student Conduct and Grievance Procedures

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

UNM's Faculty Handbook sets out two different tracks for an academic-dishonesty case, and which one a student is on determines the appeal route. From D175 (effective Feb 7, 2022; retrieved Sep 14, 2026):

The companion policy D100 caps what an instructor alone may impose: "no penalty in excess of an 'F' in the course and the involuntary withdrawal of the student from the class may be imposed," and adds that a faculty member reporting the matter "should be certain that there is substantial evidence to support the charge" before acting. Source: D100: Dishonesty in Academic Matters (last maintenance update Jun 30, 2025; retrieved Sep 14, 2026).

TWO SEPARATE APPEAL PATHS, reproduced rather than resolved. If the case stayed at the faculty level — a grade reduction or involuntary withdrawal the student wants to contest — D175 routes it through the academic-dispute process: a written complaint to the dean within ten (10) working days of completing informal discussions (Section 2.3.1), a dean's decision within twenty working days (thirty if a hearing is held, Section 2.3.5), then an appeal to the Provost within ten (10) working days of that decision (Section 2.4.1), with discretionary Board of Regents review within seven (7) working days of the last written decision (Section 2.4.2/5.5.3). If instead the Dean of Students Office imposed its own sanction under Article 5, D175 states that decision "may be appealed to the Vice President for Student Affairs if the sanction imposed … is suspension, expulsion or banning from the campus, or results in a significant interruption toward degree completion," on one of four stated grounds — procedural error, a decision not in accordance with the evidence, significant new evidence, or a sanction "grossly disproportionate to the violation(s) committed" — filed within seven (7) working days, with a Vice President's decision due within seven (7) working days of the request (Section 5.5.1). D175 does not state an appeal route for a Dean of Students sanction that falls short of that threshold.

Revision history of this page

2026-09-14 — Page created. Cold build (no prior CANDIDATES.md or procedure-facts.json research to reuse); Priority A, tranche 4, entry 116. Named-vendor sweep (Turnitin, SimCheck, Originality, Copyleaks, iThenticate, GPTZero, Originality.ai, Winston AI, Crossplag, ZeroGPT, Packback, Grammarly Authorship, Honorlock, Proctorio, Respondus, Examity) and a category sweep of Canvas documentation, IT/Academic Technologies pages, and UNM's AI-resources site found one detector: Turnitin's AI writing detection tool, added Apr 4, 2023 per UNM's own Canvas documentation, integrated campus-wide with UNM Canvas. Not disqualified: no UNM page states the detector is disabled or recommends against its use; the only caution located is instructor-facing false-positive language on UNM AI Resources, and a separate Provost's Office instructor memo (Fall 2025, dated Aug 1, 2025) discusses AI and academic integrity without naming or cautioning against any detector. Respondus LockDown Browser and Respondus Monitor confirmed as exam-proctoring tools with no first-party AI-writing-detection claim attached, recorded in the sweep only. DELIBERATE OMISSION: a search-engine-generated answer asserted that Proctorio is sold to UNM students through the Bookstore's Inclusive Access program; no unm.edu page fetched in this review states this, and it is not reproduced here, following the same rule that kept a search-engine-rendering false lead off the Arkansas page (see QUEUE.md, 2026-08-25 addendum). Process captured from Faculty Handbook D175 (effective Feb 7, 2022; last maintenance update Nov 10, 2025) and D100 (last maintenance update Jun 30, 2025), both fetched directly and read in full; D175 is comprehensive on evidentiary standard, advisor rights, record retention, and both appeal tracks, and D100 supplies the faculty-level sanction cap. TWO APPEAL TRACKS reproduced rather than resolved: the academic-dispute route (Article 2, for faculty-imposed consequences) and the misconduct route (Article 5, for Dean of Students-imposed sanctions), which carry different windows and, for lesser Dean of Students sanctions, no appeal route stated at all — see Section 02. No transcript-notation, retention-disclosure, or licensing-board-disclosure provision is stated anywhere in the sources reviewed; D175 states only the ten-year (permanent for expulsion) records-retention rule. OMBUDS/ADVOCACY TRAP CHECKED AND FAILED: UNM Ombuds Services (ombuds.unm.edu) self-describes as "free, off-the-record, confidential, independent, and informal" but states plainly that it serves "UNM employees, their co-workers, and graduate students" — not undergraduates, who are the population this page's D175 procedure governs — so it is not presented as available here. A second office, Respondent Support Services (Dean of Students), was located and read but is scoped to students identified as respondents by the Office of Compliance, Ethics, and Equal Opportunity (Title IX/discrimination investigations under D175 Article 4), not to academic-dishonesty cases under Article 3 or general misconduct under Article 5, so it is not presented as available for this page's subject matter either. LoboRESPECT Advocacy Center, named in D175 Article 4, serves victims of violence and sexual misconduct and is likewise out of scope. No eligible ombuds or advocacy office for an undergraduate facing an academic-dishonesty allegation was found; the docket states the absence. Office contact (Dean of Students Office / Student Rights and Responsibilities: 505-277-3361, studentconduct@unm.edu, University Advisement and Enrichment Center Bldg. 85 Room 281) captured from the office's own contact page. Nothing paraphrase-pending. Archive captures pending — not requested this pass (unattended scheduled run). Reviewer: Carrie Schluter (review confirmed 2026-09-14).
