Wood is new academic integrity officer

Frederick Wood of the Department of Politics and Geography is the new academic integrity officer, effective immediately. He takes over these duties from Mike Pierce, who was the first academic integrity officer. Questions or concerns about the academic integrity process may be directed to Wood.

The academic integrity officer at Coastal Carolina University oversees all aspects of the reporting, evaluation and adjudication of CCU’s academic integrity policies and procedures and actively promotes the University’s Community Standards Statement and Code of Conduct as they relate to matters of academic integrity. This person oversees reports of student violations, facilitates any required hearings or reviews and maintains the online database of such incidents. Reporting directly to the Provost, the academic integrity officer performs a crucial function in assuring that the process is held to a high standard, procedurally sound and equitable for all concerned.
