TIlls executive order establishes administrative grading symbols, minimum standards governing the a,.;;;sigllment of grades, policies on the repetition of courses, policies on academic renewal. and provisions for appeal to ensure that the rights and responsibilities of faculty and students are properly recognized and protected. A. Administrative Grading Symbols The administrative grading symbols AU, I, IC, RD, RP, W, and WU along with tbe detInitions, rules, and procedures governing their application shall be utilized as circumstances require on all California State University campuses. Use oftbe symbols AU and RD are optional with each campus, except that where utilized, the definition and circumstances of application shall be as provided herein. No other grading symbols except the traditional grades of A, B, C, D. or F; or the non-traditional grades of A, B. C, NC: or CR-NC (where specUically authorized) shall be employed without the express prior approval of the Executive Vice Chancellor and Chief Academic Officer. To the extent permitted by Section 401 04.1 of Title 5 of the Calitornia Code of Regulations, each campus may use plus and minus designations in combination with traditional letter grades of A, B, C, and D. 1. AU (Audit). The following catalog statement reflects the minimum requirements f()f enrollment as an auditor. Authority to peffilit enrollment in this status rests v,rith each campus. When audit status is permitted, students may not change from credit to audit Page 10f9 CSU000096 CSU Exh. #1: Page 2 of 10 Executive Order No. 1037 later than the ct:USt1." date for the tenn for which the student is enrolled in the course tor which such are to be awarded. If enrollment as an auditor is pt,'l1TIitted. the f()ll(}wing statement together with any further campus requirements shaH appear in the campus catalog: Enro!lment as an auditor is suhject to permission of the instructor provided that enrollment in a course as an auditor shall be pennitted only after students otherwise elil;.'ible to enroll on a credit basis have had an opportunity to do so. Auditors are »ubject 10 the same fee structure as eredit students and regular class attendance is expected. Once enrolled as an auditor, a student may not change to credit status unless such a change is requesKxi no later than the last day to add classes in that tenu. A student who is enrolled tor (.:rcdit may not change to audit atler thc ..__ week of instmetion. (Insert appropriate number for canlpus.) 2. I (Incomplete Autborized), The "I" symbol shall be used only when the faculty member concludes that a ele.arly identifiable portion of course requirements cannot be met within the academic tenn for unforeseen reasons. An Incomplete shall not be assigned when it is necessary for the student to attend a major portion of the class when it is next otlcred. An Ine{)mplcte is also prohibited wh<-'TC the nonnal practice require:; extension of course requirements beyond the dose of a term, e.g.• thesis or project type courses. In such ca.<;es, use of the "RP" symbol is required. The conditions fl)r removal of the In(X)mplctc shall be R'(iuced to \vriting by the instructor and given to the student with a copy placed on tile with the appropriate campus officer until the [ncomplete is removed Of the time limit for removal has passed. A student may not fe-enroll in a (X)Urse for which he or she has received an "I" until that "J" has been converted to a grade other than "1"; e.g., A-F, IC An Incomplete shall be converted to the appropriate grade or symbol within one year following the end of the tt."l1'Il during which it was assigned provided, however, an extension of the one-year time limit may be granted by petition for contingencies such as intt.;rvcning military service and serious health or personal problems. Where campus p'Jlicy requires assignment of final grades on the basis of numerous demonstrations of competency by the student, it may be appropriate t()r a taculty member to submit a letter grade to be assigned in the event the Incomplete is not made up within one year. If the Incomplete is not converted to a eredit-bearing grade within the prescribed lime limit, or any extension ther<-'(lt~ it shall be counted as a failing grade in calculating grade point average and progress points unless the faculty member has assigned another grade in accordance with campus policy. The following statement shall appear in the campus catalog: The symbol "I" (Incomplete AuthoriZLxi) indicates that a portion of required course v,cork has not been completed and evaluakxi in the prescribed time period due to unfixeseen, but fully justified, reasons and thaI th<c'Te is still a possibility of Page 2 of9 CSU000097 CSU Exh. #1: Page 3 of 10 Executive Order No. 1037 earning ~redit. It is the responsibiiity of the student to bring pertinent information to the attention of the instructor and to determine from the instructor the remaining course requirements which must be satisfied to remove the Incomplete. A final grade is assigned when the work agreed upon has been completed and evaluated. An hI" must nom1ally be made up 'l\c1.thin one calendar year immediately fbllowing the end of the term during which it was assigned. This limitation prevails whether or not the student maintains continuous enrollment. Failure to complete the assigned work wiIi result in an HI" being converted to an "IC" symboL unless the faculty member assigns a specific letter grade at the hme the Incomplete is assigned, which would r<->place the "I" in the ~tudenrs record after the calendar year deadline. Ie (Incomplete Cbarged). The "Ie" symbol may be used when a student who received an authorized incomplete "I" has not mmpleted the required course work within the allowed time limit. The "IC" replaces the HI" and is counted as a failing grade for point average and progress point computation. J. 4. RD (Report Delayed). The uRD" symbol may he used where a dday in the reporting of a grade is due to circumstanCt-'S beyond the control of the student. The symbol may be assigned by the registrar only and. if assigned. shall be replaced by a substantive grading symbol as soon as possible. An aRD" shall not be used in calculating grade point average or progress points. Although no catalog statement is required. whenever the :symbol is employed, an explanatory note shall be included in the transcript legend. TIle tChrlslrar shall notify both the instructor of record and the department chair within two wi,.'Cks of the assignment ofRD grades. 5. RP (Report in Progress). The "RP" symbol shall be used in connection with thesis, project. and similar murses in which a.'lsigned work frequently extends beyond a single acadi.'11lic term and may include enrollment in more than one term. The "RP" Symbol shall be replaced with the appropriate final grade within one year of its assignment except for ma.:,ter's thesis enrollment. in which case the time limit shall be established by the appropriate campus authority, The president or designee may authorize extenslon of estahlished lime limits. The following statement shall appear in the campus catalog: The "RP" symbol is used in connection with courses that extend beyond one acadi.'1nic term. It indicates that work is in progress but that assignment of a final grade must await completion of additional work. Work is to be completed within one year except for graduate degree thest,'S. (Insert campus statement desCl1.bing the time limit i()r theses.) Page 301'9 CSU000098 CSU Exh. #1: Page 4 of 10 Executive Order No. 1037 b. W (Withdrawal). Withdrawal from a course (or courses) may be permitted. without restriction or penalty, during a time period establishcd by the campus. However, this time period shall not extend beyond the census date. No symbol need be recorded in such instances. In connection with all other approved withdrawals, the "W" symbol shan be used. b.a. Undergraduatc students may withdraw from no more than 18 semester-units (27 quarter-uni!..;;). b.b. Campuses may elect to be more restrictive on withdrawals than the maxima listed above. b.t'. The limits apply only to units attempted at the campus. b.d. Withdrawals after the census date and prior to the last twenty percent of instmction may be assigned only for serious and compelling reasons. Permission to withdraw during this time shall be gf'<lIlted only with the approval of the instructor and the department chair <lIld/or de'-dn as described by camplL'! policy. AU requests to \vithdraw under these circumstances and aU approvals shall be documented as prescribed by the campus. The requests and approvals shall state the reasons for the withdrawal. Records of such approvals shall be maintained in accordance with the campus record retention policy. 6.c. Withdrawals shall not be pt-"rmitted during the tilial twenty percent of instruction except in cases, such as accident or serious illness, where the cause of withdrawal is due to circumstances clearly beyond the student's control and the assignment of an Incomplete is not practicable. Withdrawals of this sort may involve total withdrawal from the campus or may involve only one course, except that course grade and credit or an Incomplete may be assigned for cours~'S in which suftlcient work has been completed to permit an evaluation to be made. Requests for pennission to withdraw under these circumstances shall be handled and flIed as indicated in the preceding paragraph, except that such requests must also be approved by the academic administrator appointed by the president to act in such mattL'CS. Such withdrawals will not count against maximums provided for in 6.a. A "W" shall not be used in calculating grade point average or progress points. The following statement shall appear in the campus catalog: TIle s}'lnbol "W" indicates that the student was permitted to withdraw from the course after the __.____ (day/week) of instruction with the approval of the instnlctor and appropnate campus officials. !t carries no connotation of quality of student periormance and is not lLsed in calculating grade point average or progress points. Page 4 of9 CSU000099 CSU Exh. #1: Page 5 of 10 Executive Order No. 1037 In addition to this statement, the campus catalog shaH include a description of the procedures to be followed in withdrawing from a class Of from the campus. Such procedures shall be consistent with all applicable provisions of this ext)cutive order. 6.f. 'W1J (Withdrawal Unauthorized). The symbol "WU" shall be used where a student. who is enrolled on the census date. does not officially withdraw from a course but fails to complete it Its most common use is in those instances where a student has not completed sutTkient course assignments or participated in sufficient course activity to make it possible. in the opinion of the instructor. to report satisfactory or unsatisfa(.iory completion of the class by use of the letter grade (A-F). The instructor shall report the last known date of attendance by the student. The symbol "WU" shall be identified as a failing grade in the transcript legend and shall be counted as units attempted but not passed in computing the grade 1X1int average. In courses which are graded CreditiNo Credit or in cases where the student has elected CreditiNo Credit evaluation, use of the symbol "WU" is inappropriate and "NC" shall be used instead. The following statement shan appear in the campus catalog: The symbol "WU" indicates that an enrolled student did not withdraw from the course and also failed to complete course requirements. It is us",xl WhL"Il, In the opinIon of the instructor, completed assignments or course activities or both WL"fe insuffieient to make normal evaluation of academic pertormance possible. For purposes of grade point average and progress point computation this symbol is equivalent to an Hr." Iflocal campus policy prescribes other instances where this Symbol may be used, the foregoing statement shall be extended to c{)ver such instances. B. Repetition of Courses 1. Undergraduate students may repeat courses only ifthey earned grlldes IOWL"f than a C. 2. Course Repeats with "Grade Forgiveness" (Grade forgiveness is the circumstance in which the new grade replaces the tormer grade in terms of the calculation of GPA, etc.): 2.a.

Uncl('''fgrdduate students may ['-'Peat an individual course thr grade torgiveness no more than two times. Page 5 01'9 CSU000100 CSU Exh. #1: Page 6 of 10 Executive Order No. 1037 l.c. Grade forgiveness shall not be applicable to courses t()f which the original grade was the result of a finding of academic dishonesty. 3. Course Repeats with "Grades Averaged'" Campuses may permit undergraduate students to repeat an additional 12 semesterunits ( 18 quarter-units), i.e.. units in addition to the 16 semester-units (24 quarterunits) for which grade "replac{''ffient'' is pennitted. In such instances the repeat grade shall not replace Ille original grade: instead both grades shall be calculated into the student's oV("'fall grade-point average. 4. CanJpuses may elect to be more restrictive on course repeats than the maxima listed above. 5. The limits apply only to unit'; completed at the CanJPUS. C Academic Renewal 1. Under certain circumstances, a campus ofthe university may disregard up to hvo semester or three qUlliiL'fS of previou..<; undergraduate coursework taken at any institution frnm considerations associated with the requirements tbr a baccalaureate de!,.'fee. These cin:umstances are: 1.:1. The student has formally requested such action and presented evidence that substantiates that the work in question is substandard und not representative ofher!uis current scholastic ability and/or perfbrmance level. and l.b. The previous level of pert()rmance was due to extenuating circumstances. illlQ. I.e. All degree requirements except the earning of at least a "C" (2.0) grade point average have or will soon have been met University policy regarding academic renewal is not intended to penn it the improvement uf a 8fudenf s grade point average beyond what is required for graduation. 2. Final determination, that one or more terms shan be disregarded, shall be based on careful review of evidence hy a committee appointed hy the president. which shaH include the designee of the chief academic oUicer and consist of at least three members. Such nnal determination shall be made only when: Page 6 of9 CSU000101 CSU Exh. #1: Page 7 of 10 Executive Order :"110. 1037 2.11. Five years have elapsed since the most recent work to be disregarded was completed, and 2.b.

However, all work must renlain legible on the rec{)fd.

Dumke, Chancellor Dated: January 18, 1980 Page 3 of 3 CSU000090 CSU Exh. #2: Page 4 of 4 Page 1 of7 PM 96-02 Student Grade Appeals PM 96-02 2/23/96 President Robert C. Detweiler Student Grade [Supersedes PM 87-01] Introduction California State University, Dominguez Hills, to implement the Chancellor'S Executive Order No. 320, has developed these procedures to deal with the assignment of grades and grade appeals. This appeal procedure is to be read along with Order 320. Grades at the University are reported in a manner to assure that they come from the instructor of record. Each semester before the beginning of final examinations, each instructor is provided with a final grade roster and instructions for reporting grades. The instructor personally submits completed grade rosters to the Office of Registrar, where they are processed and forwarded to Computer Services. Changes of grade are submitted by instructors under several circumstances, including removal of an incomplete grade, submission of a final grade for which an SP (Satisfactory Progress) has been previously submitted, submission of a final grade to replace an RD (Record Delayed) symbol that resulted from no grade or an incorrect grade being submitted when grades were due, change of a letter grade based upon clerical error in reporting the original grade or upon recomputation of a grade because of additional work submitted. These changes are reported on the Change of Grade form. A number of grades, usually involving a change from U or F to W, are changed by petition. This process generally involves requests based upon extenuating circumstances, such as physical inability to appear on campus to properly withdraw, or mistaken assumptions of the students regarding drop or withdrawal procedures. The petition requires the recommendation of the instructor involved and the appropriate School Dean. A final action is taken by the Registrar based upon these recommendations. Information about changed grades is sent to instructors to verify that the change requests were legitimate. If an instructor fails to assign a grade to a student, the Department Chair will work with qualified faculty members and assign an appropriate grade. The School Dean, Chair of the Academic Senate, and University President will be informed when a Department Chair has had to take such action. These appeal procedures are not to be used to review a University student disciplinary decision under Executive Order No. 628. For example, if a student was found in the disciplinary process to have cheated in a course and, among other things, a grade of F was ordered for that course, these appeal procedures could not be used to challenge that F grade. CSU000022 CSU Exh. #3: Page 1 of 7 PM 96-02 Student Grade Appeals Page 2 of7 A grade appeal is permitted when a student can show clear evidence that a grade was contrary to procedures as specified in the course syllabus, was based on prejudice, was capricious, or was the result of computational or clerical error. The presumption is that the grades assigned are correct until there is a clear demonstration otherwise. The burden of proof is heavy, and it rests with the student who is appealing. Any student or faculty member involved in a grade appeals dispute who thinks that this appeals procedure has not been properly followed should state in writing his or her complaint and reasons to the University President with a copy to the Chair of the Academic Senate. The University President, or designee, will give a decision in writing within seven days about the procedural issue. These appeal procedures may be revised from time to time by the Academic Senate with the concurrence of the President. Changes will be immediately posted in official copies of the procedures in the offices of the Academic Senate, University President, Vice President of Student Affairs, Associate Vice President of Faculty Affairs, and Associated Students. 1.0 Purpose 1.1 A Student Grade Appeals Board is hereby established by the University and is charged with responsibility of processing grade appeals of students at California State University, Dominguez Hills, against members of the faculty. 2.0 Membership, Elections and Organization 2.1 The Student Grade Appeals Board shall be composed as follows: Four academic employees, one of whom shall be a Student Services Professional, and two members of the student body. 2.2 The academic members of the Board must be tenured faculty and shall be elected by the Academic Senate upon nomination of its Executive Committee, with nominations permitted from the Senate floor. No more than one Board member will be elected from any school or comparable unit. Student members shall be elected by a majority vote of the Associated Students Council. Students elected must be full-time students and have and maintain at least a 2.5 cumulative GPA. Members of the Board shall serve one-year terms but shall continue to serve until the new Board is constituted and has disposed of all pending cases. Members are eligible for reelection to the Board. In the event of a vacancy caused by a member's resignation, inability to serve, or other cause, the replacement of an academic member shall be by appointment of the Academic Senate Executive Committee, and the replacement of a student member shall be by majority vote of the Associated Students CounCil. CSU000023 CSU Exh. #3: Page 2 of 7 PM 96-02 Student Grade Appeals Page 3 of7 2.3 The Academic Senate will designate which academic member of the Board will serve as Chair of the Board. A quorum of the Board shall consist of three members, with no less than two of the teaching faculty members in attendance. The election of members to the Board shall be conducted by May 1 of each academic year by the Academic Senate and the Associated Students Council. The Board selected in May will not function until the beginning of the next academic year in September. Grade appeals that were received and the merits of which were being considered by an outgoing Board will be decided by that Board before it terminates its existence. Thus, there may be times at the beginning of an academic year when two Student Grade Appeals Boards exist simultaneously, a retiring Board completing work on pending cases and a new, incoming Board available to receive new cases. Grade appeal matters that arise in the summer will, to the extent possible, be processed through the level of School Dean and, if not resolved, be referred to the new Board after the beginning of the academic year in September. 3.0 Grade Appeal Procedure 3.1 Initiation of a Grade Appeal 3.1.1 A student who thinks he or she has a basis for a grade appeal will first seek to resolve the matter informally with the instructor of record or other appropriate individual. For a student to be able to proceed with a grade appeal, the student must have met with the faculty member within the regular semester session of the time the student knew or should have known of the problem or dispute, unless there is a prior agreement for extension between the student and the Chair of the Board. 3.1.2 If the matter is not worked out informally within 15 classroom days to the satisfaction of the parties, the student or his/her representative may send a formal grade appeal, in writing, to the Dean of the School. A copy of the grade appeal must simultaneously be filed by the student with the Office of Faculty Affairs. The student's written statement will contain the following: A clear statement of the problem; The specific action requested of the University; and Arguments to support the student's request. 3.1.3 The Dean of the School will show the student's written statement to the faculty member and Department Chair and request without delay a written statement of their positions and other comments. After receiving a joint statement, or separate statements, from the faculty member and the Department Chair, the Dean will have 15 classroom days to resolve the problem in coordination with the parties; otherwise he/she will forward the case file, including the CSU000024 CSU Exh. #3: Page 3 of 7 Page 4 of7 PM 96-02 Student Grade Appeals student's statement and the faculty member's and the Chair's written responses to the Chair of the Student Grade Appeals Board, along with the recommendation of the Dean. The Dean will give information copies of that recommendation to the parties. 3.2 Preliminary Investigation 3.2.1 Upon receipt of the grade appeal file, the Chair of the Student Grade Appeals Board will without delay meet with the Associate Vice President of Faculty Affairs to select a tenured faculty member to serve as the preliminary investigator. The preliminary investigator will not be a member of the Board. 3.2.2 The preliminary investigator shall confer with the aggrieved student, the faculty member, the Department Chair, and the School Dean in making a preliminary investigation of the facts alleged by the student. Each party will have an opportunity to clarify in writing for the preliminary investigator their earlier written statement of their positions. 3.2.3 Within 15 classroom days of his/her appointment, the preliminary investigator shall submit to the Chair of the Board a full written report of the extent and conclusions of the investigation. The written statement of the parties will be attached to that report. 3.2.4 In making the written report, the preliminary investigator will remember that there is a presumption that faculty members act correctly in assigning grades, and in otherwise managing students and classes, and the burden of proof must be met by the person with the complaint to show that the conduct by the faculty member was contrary to procedures, arbitrary, unreasonable, prejudiced, capricious, or the result of computational or clerical error. A faculty member's action is not to be reversed if the action resulted from the exercise of reasonable judgment. 3.3 Initial Determination by Board 3.3.1 The preliminary investigator shall indicate in the report whether there appears to be cause for a grade appeal, whether there is substantial evidence to support the complaint, and if so, the nature of the evidence, and whether the grade appeal should either be dropped or proceed to a formal hearing by the entire Board. 3.3.2 The Chair shall convene the Board without delay after receiving the report of the preliminary investigator. The Board shall determine by majority vote whether apparent cause for a grade appeal exists. Such determination by the Board shall be final. 3.3.3 If the Board by majority vote concludes that there is no cause for a grade appeal, such determination shall conclude the proceedings, and the parties will be so advised in writing. 3.3.4 If there is a tie vote on the initial determination by the Board, the actions of the faculty member shall be sustained. CSU000025 CSU Exh. #3: Page 4 of 7 PM 96-02 Student Grade Appeals Page 5 of7 3.3.5 If the Board by majority vote concludes that cause for a grade appeal appears to exist, it will proceed as indicted in 3.4 below. 3.4 Hearing 3.4.1 The Chair of the Board shall schedule the hearing without delay and notify the aggrieved student and the faculty member against whom the grade appeal was asserted of the times and places of the hearing or hearings. 3.4.2 The hearing shall be closed, informal in nature, and conducted in a spirit of mediation and conciliation. Both the student and faculty member concerned shall be afforded an opportunity to testify, present witnesses, and introduce evidence relevant to the grade appeal. 3.4.2.1 If both the student and faculty member agree, the hearing may be open to the public. 3.4.2.2 The student and faculty member may have one or two advisors or assistants at the hearing, but neither the student nor the faculty member will be assisted by an attorney who is a member of the Bar of the State of California. 3.4.2.3 At a closed hearing, attendance shall be limited to: Members of the Board The student and the student's advisor, if any, and Witnesses while giving evidence. 3.4.2.4 The contents of a closed hearing will be kept confidential and will be disclosed only to the extent necessary for the Board to make its final report. 3.4.2.5 The Board may on its own initiative call as a witness one or more qualified faculty and receive from them as a witness testimony of fact or opinion. Any qualified faculty member who gives opinion testimony must be unbiased and have had no prior involvement with the grade dispute. 3.4.2.6 It shall be the duty of anyon-duty employees of the campus, except the University President, to appear at the hearing as requested by the Chair. 3.4.2.7 The student will present his or her entire case first in the hearing. Thereafter, the faculty member may request the Board to rule against the student on the basis that the student has not proved his or her case and met the burden of proof by a preponderance of the evidence. If the Board rules for the faculty member's request, the hearing terminates and the Board will write its final report. If the Board rules against the faculty member's request, the hearing continues and the faculty member will present his/her case. 3.4.2.8 The hearing will not be recorded by machine, court reporter, or other means. Cameras are not permitted at a closed hearing. CSU000026 CSU Exh. #3: Page 5 of 7 Page 60f7 PM 96-02 Student Grade Appeals 3.5 Board Decision and Report 3.5.1 At the conclusion of the hearing, the Board members who attended the hearings will meet privately with all other people excluded to consider the evidence, reach a decision, and begin to prepare a report. The Board should issue the report within 15 classroom days, noting specifically the findings of fact, conclusions, and decision as to disposition of the grade appeal. The Board will rule in favor of the student only if the student has demonstrated by a preponderance of the evidence that he or she was directly wronged by the improper action of the faculty member. 3.5.1.1.1 If the issue or one of the issues at the hearing was a grade appeal, the student members of the Board would vote on the issue of whether or not the student showed by a preponderance of evidence that the grade assigned was inappropriate. If a majority of the Board concluded that it was, only the faculty members of the Board would proceed to determine the appropriate grade. A determination by these members of the appropriate grade to be assigned may include consultation with members of the appropriate department who have expertise in the subject matter, but who are not affected by the grade appeal. A grade may be lowered as well as raised. 3.5.2 The Board's decision must have the support of a majority vote of the Board. In the event of a tie vote, the grade appeal is denied. A minority pOSition may be expressed either as a section in the Board's report, or as a separate report. 3.5.3 The Board will send copies of its decision and report to the student, faculty member, preliminary investigator, Department Chair, School Dean, and the Associate Vice President of Faculty Affairs. The decision will be binding on the parties unless it is contrary to law or clear rules or policies that control the University. 3.5.3.1 If the Board decision was that a grade should be changed, the faculty member has 10 calendar days to give a Change of Grade card to the Chair of the Board or show that the Board's decision is contrary to law, rule, or policy. If the chair does not receive the Change of Grade card within 10 calendar days, the Chair will ask the University President to direct the Office of the Registrar to make the grade change based upon a Change of Grade card signed by the Chair of the Student Grade Appeals Board. The University President will direct the Office of the Registrar to accept the card signed by the Chair of the Board. 3.5.3.2 If the Board's decision involved issues other than a grade appeal, the Associate Vice President of Faculty Affairs will work with the parties to implement the Board's decision. 3.5.4 Neither the student nor the faculty member may appeal the merits or facts of the case beyond the Board. Neither may appeal to the University President or the Academic Senate to review the merits and facts of the case. Neither the University President nor the Senate may review the Board's decision of the facts and merits of the case on CSU000027 CSU Exh. #3: Page 6 of 7 PM 96-02 Student Grade Appeals Page 7 of7 its own initiative. When the Board has decided the facts and merits of the case, all on-campus remedies have been exhausted. The decision of the Board on the facts and merits of the case will be final and binding. However, the University President or Academic Senate may consider whether the Board acted contrary to law, rule, or policy.

STUDENT RELATED POLICIES Academic Freedom of Students STUDENT RlGHTS AND THE ACADEMIC PROCESS Academic Freedom of Students (Based on a statement developed by the AAUP) Free inquiry and free expression are essential attributes of the community of scholars. As members of that community, students should be encouraged to develop the capacity for critical judgment and to engage in a sustained and independent search for truth. The freedom to learn depends upon appropriate opportunities and conditions in the classroom, on the campus, and in the larger community. The responsibility to secure and to respect general conditions conducive to the freedom to learn is shared by all members of the academic community. Students should endeavor to exercise their freedom with maturity and responsibility. The professor should encourage free discussion, inquiry, and expression. Students should be evaluated solely on the basis of their academic performance, not on their opinions or conduct in matters unrelated to academic standards. CSU000064 CSU Exh. #5: Page 1 of 9 SECTION F: STUDENT RELATED POLICIES Page 2 of9 Students are responsible for learning thoroughly the content of any course of study, but they should be free to take reasoned exception to the data or views offered, and to reserve judgment about matters of opinion. Students are responsible for maintaining standards of academic performance established by their professors, but they should have protection through orderly procedures against prejudiced or capricious academic evaluation. Information about student views, beliefs, and political associations which professors acquire in the course of their work as instructors, advisors, and counselors should be considered confidential. Protection against improper disclosure is a serious professional obligation. Judgments of ability and character may be provided under appropriate circumstances. The Classroom (Quoted from CSUDH Student Rights and Responsibilities Handbook, August, 1986). A. Rights and Responsibilities 1. CSUDH Academic Senate Resolution EPC 87-14 and PM 87-16 states that during the first week of classes an instructor is to distribute to the class members printed information about the course. This course information is to include at least the following items:* 1. The instructor's grading policy. 2. Required texts and other materials. 3. The availability of the instructor outside of class, including office hours and office telephone number. In addition, it is recommended that the following items be part of the course information: 1. Prerequisites for the course. 2. Course goals, objectives and requirements 3. Attendance requirements 4. Policy on due dates and make-up work 5. Schedule of examinations. The instructor is encouraged to distribute a syllabus appropriate for the level and nature of the course. * The instructor is to leave a copy of the course information and/or syllabus in the department office. 2. Students have the right to substantive preparation and presentation from the instructor appropriate to the course. Repeated failure of the instructor to meet his/her classes according to the established campus guidelines or lack of preparation are legitimate grounds for student complaints or grievances. Recognizing that a professor has great freedom to structure the learning situations in the classroom, when the format of the class so warrants and the research undertaken is directly related to the subject CSU000065 CSU Exh. #5: Page 2 of 9 SECTION F: STUDENT RELATED POLICIES Page 3 of9 matter of the course, students are expected to volunteer to participate as subjects on research studies as part of their learning experience. If a student refuses to volunteer, the professor will provide alternative learning experiences for that student. When an instructor wishes to use students in her/his own research, where this research is tangential or unrelated to course content, the instructor must clearly indicate to any students that their participation in such research is voluntary. In any case, research conducted at California State University, Dominguez Hills is expected to adhere to standards for use of human and animal subjects set forth by professional organizations such as the American Anthropological Association, the American Psychological Association, and the American Sociological Association. The students are entitled to instructors who refrain from acts or conditions listed in Section 24306 of the Education Code, e.g., unprofessional or immoral conduct, dishonesty, incompetence, etc. Such acts or conditions may cause the University to take disciplinary action against the instructor under Chancellor's Executive Order No. 245. 3. The individual instructor controls the order and direction of a class and the scope and treatment of the subject matter, and the class must be free of distraction or disruption. Each student must respect the rights of others in the maintenance of classroom order and in the observance of basic courtesy. A student may be ordered to leave a class for cheating or when her/his behavior obstructs the regular activity of the class. The instructor, however, may not officially dis-enroll a student from a course as discipline without following the student disciplinary procedure. B. Plagiarism At the heart of any university are its efforts to encourage critical reading skills, effective communication, and, above all, intellectual honesty among its students. Thus, all academic work submitted by a student as her or his own should be in her or his own unique style, words, and form. When work is submitted that purports to be original, but actually is not, the student has committed plagiarism. Plagiarism is considered a gross violation of the University'S academic and disciplinary standards. Plagiarism includes the following: copying of one person's work by another and claiming it as her or his own, false presentation of one's self as the author or creator of a work, falsely taking credit for another person's unique method of treatment or expression, falsely representing one's self as the source of ideas or expression, or the presentation of someone else's language, ideas, or works without giving that person due credit. It is not limited to written works. For example, one can plagiarize music compositions, photographs, works of art, choreography, computer programs, or any other creative effort. Plagiarism is cause for formal University discipline and is justification for an instructor to assign a lower grade or a failing grade in the course in which the plagiarism is committed. In addition, the University may impose its own disciplinary measures. C. Perceived Teaching Effectiveness of Faculty 1. Students' Role Good teaching is recognized as a priority consideration in making faculty assignments to California State University, Dominguez Hills. Similarly, teaching effectiveness, along with scholarship and participation in University and community affairs, is a most important criterion in the subsequent reappointment, promotion, and tenure of faculty members. "Perceived Teaching Effectiveness" (PTE) forms are the instruments whereby students evaluate faculty performance. The part-time faculty are CSU000066 CSU Exh. #5: Page 3 of 9 SECTION F: STUDENT RELATED POLICIES Page 4 of9 required to administer the forms in each class they teach. These PTE forms are distributed by Faculty AfTairs through the office of the school/college dean on or by the thirteenth week of each semester and may be administered during a scheduled class hour or exam hour between (and including) the thirteenth week of class and the final examination period at the end of the semester. Students have a RESPONSIBILITY to participate in this process of faculty evaluation. Sincere and objective appraisals by students are expected. Students have a RIGHT to expect that these PTE forms will be looked upon seriously and will serve both the purpose of faculty self-appraisal and faculty review for retention at the University. 2. Confidentiality The procedures detailed for the administration and handling of PTE forms are designed to protect the students in their personal perceptions of the teaching effectiveness of faculty. The forms are to be administered by someone other than the instructor of the class and promptly sealed and routed according to instructions which accompany packets of PTE forms. Students also have the RESPONSIBILITY to ensure that the PTE package is not in the faculty member's hands once the forms have been completed. A student is required to pick up the PTE forms from the class, place them in the PTE envelope provided and walk them to the ERC building and place them in the receptacle provided at the Circulation Desk. For off-campus classes different arrangements may be made with the Associate Vice President of Facultv Affairs. If a student thinks her/his confidentiality has been violated, the incident should be reported to the Department Chair, the School/College Dean, the Vice President of Student Affairs or the Associate Vice President of Academic Affairs. Attendance at Initial Class Meetings (Reference: PM 84-12, 6/22/84) Prior to the end of the second week of classes, a faculty member may, by following the appropriate procedures, initiate a formal drop of students who: 1) have not attended the first two class meetings (or the first meeting if the class meets only once a week), and 2) have not, by the end of the first week of classes, advised the faculty member (or the department chair, if no faculty member was assigned to the course in advance) that their absence is temporary. It is the responsibility of the student to make certain that her/his drop has been officially recorded. Continued absence from the class may yield a grade of "U". Students who are in doubt as to whether or not a faculty member has dropped them from the class rolls should file their own drop from a class. Disabled Student Services (Reference: PM 83-03, 3/4/83 and ADA, 1990) The law (specifically, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973), system policy, and common sense CSU000067 CSU Exh. #5: Page 4 of 9 SECTION F: STUDENT RELATED POLICIES Page 5 of9 dictate that accommodations be made to allow students with disabilities to pursue their academic goals. In order to guide our actions in working with disabled students, the academic community has agreed to the following statement: As we interpret the intent of the law, the role of faculty in relation to disabled students is to provide an opportunity for the student to demonstrate competency in a course. While for most students this will not atTect current operating procedures, it will sometimes involve making necessary accommodations for a student with a given disability. However, regardless of what changes are made in course assignments, faculty are expected to evaluate the end products (tests, papers, presentations, etc.) against the same basic criteria as those used for other students, i.e., how well the student has demonstrated understanding of course content and achieved the course objectives. The Disabled Student Services (DSS) office provides support services to students with disabilities which allow them to function in the classroom and assist students in becoming as independent, competent, and functional as possible. This requires that students receive realistic feedback on performance in the classroom and be in control of the personal resources they use. DSS provides advisement to faculty and students, and coordinates services for such things as time management, tutoring, and accommodating specific problems. The Disabled Student Services will seldom, if ever, recommend waivers of course or major requirements for disabled students; but will rather work to find a legitimate accommodation. This will sometimes require alternative methods of teaching a course or alternative assignments. The Office ofDSS will provide consultation with faculty on commercially available aids, technological advances, and techniques to surmount limitations of the disabling condition. But only the instructor will be able to design alternative assignments and accommodations which will provide the appropriate learning experience for the student. Changes of Grade and Student Grievances California State University, Dominguez Hills, to implement Chancellor's Executive Order No. 320, developed procedures to deal with the assignment of grades and grade appeals. This appeal procedure is to be read along with Order 320. Please refer to PM 87-01 or the most recent edition of the Student Rights & Responsibilities Handbook for complete grievance and grade appeal procedures. The Student Rights & Responsibilities Handbook. Volume 1 (Revised: 1990) gives a detailed account of grade appeal and grievance procedures. A grade change is permitted when a student can show clear evidence that a grade was clearly unfair, prejudiced, capricious, or the result of clerical error. The presumption is that grades assigned are correct until there is a clear demonstration otherwise. The burden of proof rests on the student who is grieving. Normally, in order for a student to initiate a grievance or grade appeal, he or she must have met with the faculty member of record within one regular semester of the time the student knew or should have known of the problem or dispute. If the problem cannot be resolved informally the student can proceed with the formal grievance, following appropriate channels and timelines as described in the Student Rights & Responsibilities Handbook (Volume 1) (Revised 1990). It is the policy of CSUDH to comply with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of a handicap or disability in all University programs and CSU000068 CSU Exh. #5: Page 5 of 9 SECTION F: STUDENT RELATED POLICIES Page 6 of9 activities. A formal grievance related to discrimination is initiated by completing the "Section 504 Complaint Form," available in the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs. The completed form must be filed in a timely manner with the President's designated Affirmative Action Officer. It is also the policy of CS UDH to comply with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in any educational program or activity. A formal grievance is initiated by completing the "Title IX Complaint Form," available in the Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs. The completed form must be filed in a timely manner with the President's designated Administrative Officer. These appeal procedures may be reviewed and revised by the Academic Senate with concurrence of the President. Changes will be immediately posted in official copies of the procedures in the Offices of the Academic Senate, University President, Vice President of Student Affairs, Associate Vice President of Faculty Affairs, and Associated Students. Periodically, revisions will be sent to all faculty for inclusion into their copies of the Faculty Handbooks. Faculty who have questions or concerns regarding changes of grade and student grievances should confer with the Associate Vice President of Faculty Affairs. STUDENT DISCIPLINE The Student Rights and Responsibilities Handbook includes a statement entitled "Standards of Conduct Expected of Students". If a faculty member thinks that a student's conduct is unacceptable and detrimental to the educational process, the faculty member should discuss the situation with the Vice President of Student Affairs. If appropriate, the Vice President will cause disciplinary action to be taken according to the procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees and issued as Chancellor's Executive Order No. 148,datedMarch8, 1972. Title V of the California Administrative Code specifies conduct which is cause for student disciplinary action. The pertinent excerpt appears below. 4130 I. Expulsion, Suspension, and Probation of Students. Following procedures consonant with due process established pursuant to Section 41304, any student of a campus may be expelled, suspended, placed on probation or given a lesser sanction for one or more of the following causes which must be campus related: a. Cheating or plagiarism in connection with an academic program on campus. b. Forgery, alteration or misuse of campus documents, records. or identification or knowingly furnishing false information to a campus. c. Misrepresentation of oneself or of an organization to be an agent of a campus. d.

Knowing possession or use of explosives, dangerous chemicals or deadly weapons on campus property or at a campus function without prior authorization of the campus president. j. Engaging in lewd, indecent, or obscene behavior on campus property or at a campus function. k. Abusive behavior directed toward, or hazing of, a member of the campus community. I. Violation of any order of a campus president, notice of which had been given prior to such violation and during the academic term in which the violation occurs, either by publication in the campus newspaper, or by posting on an official bulletin board designated for this purpose, and which order is not inconsistent with any of the other provisions of this Section. m. Soliciting or assisting another to do any act which would subject a student to expulsion, suspension or probation pursuant to this section. Student Disciplinary Review Board Section lO(a) of Chancellor's Executive Order No. 148, which established the standard student disciplinary procedures for all institutions in The California State University system, provides that: The President may establish a procedure whereby a committee of students, or students together with faculty, or students together with faculty and administrative personnel, shall, in such cases as the President may determine, review the recommendations of the Hearing Officer with respect to the discipline to be imposed, if any, and advise the President. Such committees, if established, shall be composed in such manner as the institution may determine. It shall not receive new evidence or argument, or conduct hearings, and its members shall be bound by the policy of confidentiality as stated in Section 9-\. If such a committee is established, the President shall forward a copy of the report of the Hearing Officer to the committee as soon as it is received, and the committee shall present its recommendations, ifany, to the President within two working days of its receipt of the report. The duties of the President under Executive Order 148 are delegated to the Vice President of Student Affairs. Within the context of this provision, a student Disciplinary Review Board is established to review during the academic year all discipline cases in which a disciplinary report from a hearing officer comes to the Vice President of Student Affairs recommending that student be suspended or expelled from the University. The Board will consist of five members who will be appointed by the University Vice President of Student Affairs. The terms will be for one year but members may be appointed to additional terms of service. The membership will be as follows: 1. Three student members of the Student Judiciary, selected by the Vice President in consultation with the Associated Students President; 2. A staff member of the University appointed by the Vice President of Student Affairs; CSU000070 CSU Exh. #5: Page 7 of 9 SECTION F: STUDENT RELATED POLICIES Page 8 of9 3. A faculty member recommended by the Academic Senate. In some circumstances it may be necessary for members of the Board to disqualify themselves and not participate in reviewing cases in which they have been personally involved or in which their objectivity might reasonably be questioned; the remaining members of the Board will act on the case at hand. The Board can function with three members if one of them is either a staff or faculty representative. If such three members can not act within two working days of receipt of the report, the Vice President of Student Affairs will act without receiving a report. The Vice President of Student Affairs will appoint the Chair of the Board. The Board will receive logistical and secretarial support, if needed, from the office of the Vice President of Student Affairs. If the report from the disciplinary hearing recommends suspension or expulsion from the University, the following action will be taken. 1. The report will be referred to the Coordinator of Student Discipline who will reproduce five copies which will be given without comment to the Chairperson of the Board; and 2. The members of the Board will meet in closed session and be bound by the policy of confidentiality. Based upon the report, the Board will make a written recommendation to the Vice President of Student Affairs, with respect to the discipline to be imposed on the student, if any. The Board members may, if they are unable to agree, attach written dissents or minority views to their report to the Vice President. The Board's written report will be delivered to the Vice President's Office within two working days of having received the five copies from the Coordinator. The University will proceed with student discipline cases during recesses, vacations and the summer without the participation of the Student Disciplinary Review Board. Threats to Faculty and Staff (Reference: PM 83-04, 3/3/83) When a threat made to any faculty or staff member is reported, the person receiving the report will immediately contact the Campus Judicial Coordinator who, in consultation with the Vice President, Student Affairs, will take responsibility for coordinating the campus response and contacting the appropriate people who will respond as follows: 1. Public Safety a. Run a background check on the person making the threat to determine if there is an arrest record and report findings to the Judicial Coordinator. b. Contact the threatened person and offer services as appropriate. (1) Escort to parking lot. (2) Surveillance in building. (3) Assistance in contacting local police to request extra surveillance of home. CSU000071 CSU Exh. #5: Page 8 of 9 SECTION F: STUDENT RELATED POLICIES Page 9 of9 c.

She has indicated that you were absent from class 10 times and that you logged 9 tardies, which contributed to your NC in the class. Further, she indicated that formal written work you handed in often did not meet the minimum length requirements, which hurt your grade. She also said that the content of those papers frequently contained a lot of strung-together quotes and not enough of your own analysis and discussion. Thus, your NC resulted from a combination of numerous missed classes, too-short papers, and work that did not meet passing standards. If you wish to discuss this situation further, please call 310-243-3322 to make an appointment to see me. I am in on Mondays and Thursdays throughout the summer. Thank you, Dr. Oesterheld 6/3/2010 CSU000310 CSU Exh. #10: Page 1 of 1 June R, 2010 Dear Members of the Board I am appealing my final grade in English 350. I attended class regularly and in a timely manner. My assignments were well written, organized and lengthy, but unfairly graded. I worked hard throughout the semester. I compared my papers to other student's papers in my class and mine were as just as good, if not better. I am requesting that all of my assignments be evaluated. I cannot receive my degree until this matter has been resolved. Thank you for considering my request.

Every attempt to resolve this situation at the Dean's level has been unsuccessful. The grade of NC issued appears to be correct according to the faculty grade records. On the syllabus it states that a student's grade will be lowered one half a grade for each absence beyond two. Mr. Demekpe had 10 absences and 9 tardies. The professor also indicated that Mr. Demekpe's essays were too short. However, 1 could not find a length requirement stated on the syllabus.

After reviewing the details of Mr. Demekpe's complaint and speaking to the involved parties, I do not recommend that his grade appeal be approved. I met with Mr. Demekpe on May 6, 2010 in my ofIice. In the meeting, Mr. Demekpe indicated he'd been unfairly evaluated on his formal papers by Ms. Robertson and that she caused him to receive a "D+" grade on the Composition Co-op, a mandatory timed writing test administered in Week 9 of all sections of English 350 (see Attachment 2, my notes from this meeting). The Composition Co-op is blind-scored by two ENG faculty members using a holistic scoring method and the instructor does not read or score his or her own students' exams (see Attachment 1, Mr. Demekpe's scored Comp Co-Op Exam). When r explained this circumstance to Mr. Demekpe, he seemed to withdraw the accusation that his exam was scored unfairly at Ms. Robertson's direction but he did wish to pursue a complaint about how his other work was graded, which he believed was motivated, at least in part, by racial prejudice. That same day, I received a written communication from Ms. Robertson that detailed some of her reasons for awarding him an "NC" in the class. That message is included here as Attachment 3. In it, Mrs. Robertson notes that Mr. Demekpe was absent from c1ao;s ten times and he came to class late another nine times. This number of absences and tardies alone is grounds for failure in the class, according to Ms. Robertson. On May 24, 201 0, I spoke to Ms. Robertson by phone and asked her to elaborate on the quality of Mr. Demekpe's formal written work, given his allegation of unfair evaluation (bottom of Attachment 3). In that conversation, Mrs. Robertson indicated to me that Mr. Demekpe's essays were often shorter than the minimum length requirement (grounds for an nNC" in her course); in addition, they often did not include enough ofMr. Demekpe's own analysis to be of passing quality. Mr. Demekpe's graded papers note these shortcomings. CSU000290 CSU Exh. #13: Page 1 of 2 I have examined the lonnal papers 1md timed writings Mr. Demekpe wrote for ENG 35010 and have concluded that Ms. Rohertson's evaluation of his work abides by departmental standards and that there is no evidence of unfair or unreasonable evaluation. Mr. Demekpe earned no grade higher than a "C" on any assignment for ENG 350-10 ,md he missed the equivalent of 14 classes (ten actual absences and eight tardies). Based on guidelines stated in the syllabus (Attachment 5), Mr. Demekpe's final grade was calculated correctly. Ms. Roberston's grade and attendance records for ENG 350-10 (see Attachment 4) show that Ms. Robertson applied the syllabus policy fairly and accurately to Mr. Demekpe's perfonnance. Mr. Demekpe's has maintained that other students made many more grammatical errors than he did on their papers but they received highcr grades. There are, however, many factors that go into detennining a final grade and the number of sentence-level errors is ccrtainly not the only consideration, nor is it necessarily the only important one. Quality of analysis, depth of engagement, organization of thought, and many other elements contribute to a final grade and can be valued more highly by an instructor than grammatical correctness. r note that Ms. Robertson's written comments to Mr. Demekpe center on grammatical issues as well as on the accuracy of his observations and the quality and depth of his writing.

I attended class regularly and in a timely manner, on rare occasions, I was late, and Ms. Robertson refused to let me sign the attendance sheet, therefore marking me absent, which is contrary to her syllabus attendance policy and University policy. My assignments were well written, organized and lengthy, but unfairly graded. My appeal is based on poor judgment, not racial prejudice, Neither Ms. Robertson nor the Department chair were able to provide a legitimate answer of why I received a no credit grade. The members of the board must intervene to settle this matter. r worked too hard throughout the semester to receive a no credit grade I did not earn. I compared my papers to other student's papers in my class and mine were as just as good, if not better. I have classmates from English 350, who are willing to testify and provide evidence. A grade appeal is necessary, because there are serious flaws in Ms. Robert~on grading and attendance methods. I am requesting that all of my assignments be evaluated by the board. I cannot receive my degree until this matter has been resolved. Thank you for considering my request.

MEPN Faculty Advisor/Clinical Coordinator School of Nursing California State University Dominguez Hills 1000 East Victoria St. Carson, CA 90747 310.243.2711 310.516.3542 Fax CSU000259 CSU Exh. #19: Page 1 of 3 On August 17, 2010 I met with Taryikh Demekpe a Human Services student registered in my Human Services 460 Research Methods for Human Services to discus his grade. He had reviewed his grade on BlackBoard and noticed that even if he received full points for his last assignment (3 rd literature review) he would fail the course a second time. He was upset at the news of failing the class a second time and tried to strike several "deals" with me. He asked to be given the opportunities of re-writing his literature reviews or re-doing other assignments. I informed him that if I gave him this opportunity I would have to extend it all the students in class. His response was that they did not need it, because they all got "A's". I explained to Mr. Demekpe that he did not follow instructions for the literature reviews, his constant tardiness, and none participation in class was what brought his grade down. At that point he made a comment that "kuew of other things", but did not explain what that meant. I took the time to grade his 3rd literature review in front of him and explained the errors. He became distant at that point. Once I finished grading his paper I informed him of the grade he earned on it and his total points for the class. He was not satisfied with his grade and stated he would appeal it. At that point I did notify Mr. Demekpe of his right as a student to appeal his grade. I advised him to speak with Ms. Wilson, Coordinator Human Services Program, and if need be I would also meet with both of them at a later time at same day. At that point he got up from his chair and started to approach other faculty members asking them if they were my boss. At 2.33pm that same day he sent me an e-mail claiming that I discriminated against him based on race gave special privileges to my people (Mexicans) and that he was going to file a discrimination complaint. He claims to have earned a "B". On August 18, 2010 Mr. Demekpe met with Ms. Wilson and as he was walking down the hall between the Dean's Office and Ms. Wilson's office, he was making negative comments under his breath toward me. I choice to ignore him. Ms. Wilson called me to her office where Mr. Demepke was sitting. He immediately started yelling at me claiming that I showed favoritism toward the Mexicans in class. Ms. Wilson asked him to stop and focus toward the matter at hand. Mr. Demepke stated that I graded his papers, presentations, and other assignments unfairly. Ms. Wilson asked him if other faculty members were present at the time his presentation and if they kuew what the grading criteria was. He stated "no." Ms. Wilson also asked him the same question in regards to his other assignments. Mr. Demepke continued by stating that I allowed selected students to rewrite assignments for higher grades. At that point I stated that I asked the entire class to rewrite their 1st literature review as an exercise, not for additional points. It was at this moment that he started to become verbally abusive and started to use profane language toward me. Ms. Wilson asked him to stop, but he continued. As the situation started to escalate Ms. Wilson asked him to leave, but even as he left he continued swearing at me. As he CSU000260 CSU Exh. #19: Page 2 of 3 walked out the door he made one last comment that not passing him and "giving" him a failing grade was the least of my worries and that it would be nothing compared to Springfield College. The following day, August 19,2010 6:10 pm I received an e-mail from Mr. Demekpe informing me that he has gone to Student Affairs for the discrimination complaint forms. He also gave me the deadline of August 20 t\ 2010 to submit a passing grade for him. Submitted August 20,2010 Jorge Escamilla Lecturer August 23, 2010 2:50 PM Mr. Demekpe came by to see and stated that tomorrow is the deadline to submit summer grades. He then asked me if I was going to do the right thing. I said to him that I was not ready to discus the matter further in light oflasts week's unfortunate meeting. He started to curse at me again and stated he was going to get me fired, not demoted, but fired. I asked him to leave and he responded by saying "I am not in your office." He was standing out side in the hallway. He continued to curse and speak in a loud tone. I asked him to again please leave and ifhe did not I would call campus police. He then said "Go ahead, you don't own this University" and left after cursing a few more times. 3:57 PM Mr. Demekpe came looking for me again. I opened the hall door of entrance 330 and found Mr. Demekpe pacing by the receptionist desk. He handed me "Form for Student Initiated Complain of Discrimination or Harassment" and stated, "You have until tomorrow." Then he walked away. I was informed by Ms. Jackson-Harris that he approached her again asking who my boss is and what time I would return to my office. She has repeatedly told him that she is not my boss and referred him to Ms. Wilson.

I asked Mr. Escamilla ifI can email him the correct paper, but he said "no it's too late I will see you next semester." Mr. Escamilla is unfair, arrogant and a liar, because he accepts late work from students he favors, and threatens students with failing grades.

He is unclear in his letter as to which semester HUS 460 grade he is appealing. However, having spoken to Mr. Demekpe regarding his summer grade I will address his summer grade. Mr. Demekpe makes two points: (a) submitting late assignments; and (b) attendance policy. I will address both points separately. During the summer term Mr. Demekpe did not submit late assignments; all assignments were turned in by the deadlines. He submitted assignments that were below the average requirements, not in AP A format, incomplete assignments, or not following the prompts. According to the syllabus page 3 2nd paragraph, late assignments will not be accepted. Make-up exams are given in rare instances as a result of extreme circumstances. I had asked all students to rewrite their first literature review as a take home exercise. However, no points were assigned for the rewrite. Extra credit was not an option. All class assignments were individual. His second concern is attendance. The syllabus states the attendance policy on page 4. Students who leave class early will not receive credit for attendance. Students arriving more than five (5) minutes late will not receive full credit for attendance. Two tardies will equal one absence. Mr. Demekpe was absent on the following days June 7, June 28, July 26 and late on the following days August 2, August 9 and August 16. Students with 3-4 absences receive 3 out of 5 points for attendance. Toward the end of the summer session Mr. Demekpe would walk in 30-45 minutes late to class. Mr. Demekpe did not participate in class either by asking questions or contributing additional information. When he was in class he would come unprepared; he would not have his books nor take notes. He sat in the front row, so I was able to observe him.

Mr. Demekpe was absent on the following days June 7, June 28, July 26 and late on the following days August 2, August 9 and August 16. Students with 3-4 absences receive 3 out of 5 points for attendance. Toward the end of the summer session Mr. Demekpe would walk in 30-45 minutes late to class. Mr. Demekpe did not participate in class either by asking questions or contributing additional information. When he was in class he would come unprepared; he would not have his books nor take notes. He sat in the front row, so I was able to observe him. The following are Mr. Demekpe's grades for all assignments: Topic Meeting 5/5 First Literature Review 115 Article Methodology Review 7/10 Second Literature Review 6.5/1 0 Specialty Text Presentation 12/15 Participation 315 Attendance 3/5 Poster Presentation 15/20 Third Literature Review 12/15 Final 4.5/1 0 Total Points and grade 69 D+ Respectfully submitted Jorge Eseamilla, M.S.
