|Following the Ofsted inspection in February 2011, the Bristol PGCE was awarded 'Outstanding Provider Status'
The Graduate School of Education works in partnership with local schools, colleges and academies to deliver two teacher training routes:
Together we manage, design and work jointly on all aspects of the experiences needed to enable student teachers to achieve the Teachers' Standards and become effective professional practitioners. This enables us to integrate the work of the programme in placement institutions and at the university throughout the year, allowing student teachers to learn alongside effective teachers and to reflect on their experiences to develop their own teacher identities.
This effective partnership was recognised in our latest Ofsted inspection, in February 2011, which identified some of our strengths as:
· The effective procedures to recruit well-qualified, reflective trainees
· The high quality of personalised support from both the provider and partner schools
· The positive impact of university expertise on the professional development of teachers within partnership schools
· The strong support for the provider from schools in the partnership who value the supply of high-quality teachers
We gained 'Outstanding Provider' status from this inspection.
Both routes offer one-year, full-time secondary initial teacher education courses in the following subjects:
We aim to educate student teachers who are experts in their subjects to develop the pedagogical understanding needed to enable school students to access the subjects and make progress in learning. For more details about the individual subjects click on the links above.
We recruit student teachers from a range of different backgrounds, cultures and experiences. Our student teacher cohort typically includes people from across the UK who have just completed their final year at university, or who have higher degrees or who have decided to become teachers after a period in another occupation or after a career break. We also recruit some student teachers from EU countries. We always receive many more applications than the numbers of places allocated to us by the Teaching Agency. It is therefore advisable to apply early before courses fill.
For further information about either of the teacher training routes we deliver please follow the links above.
Jayne Prior, PGCE Programme Director (Partnership)
Janet Orchard, PGCE Programme Director (University)
The programme is a minimum of 36 weeks in duration and starts in mid-September. Its structure may be most conveniently described in terms of three major components, though the timetable and approach underline the intention that they are strongly interrelated. In addition the GSoE has strong links that allow some student teachers to benefit from international contacts. The components are:
Main subject work, which continues throughout the year, is offered in:
The subject tutor works closely with a team of experienced teachers in designing and teaching the course and in selecting and assessing student teachers. Further details of these programmes are provided in the subject specific links.
Your work in this area comprises university- and school-based activities covering topics such as:
Your coursework assignment in EPS starting in the Autumn term and continuing through the Spring term will give you the opportunity to focus on one of two themes.
These themes are provisionally titled:
The programme starts with a period of experience in a primary school of your choice, normally one near where you live. This work will enable you to consider the child's experience before entering secondary school and to begin to identify issues of teaching and learning in a school environment.
During the first term, you will begin with preliminary visits to a secondary school in preparation for a period of approximately five weeks in that school.
The main school practice will take place through the whole of the school spring term, in a different school from that visited in the first term.
Student teachers are allocated to secondary schools of all types in the Bristol area and in Somerset, Gloucestershire, South Wales and Wiltshire.
Student teachers are assisted in their practical teaching both by Associate Tutors, specially trained teachers who act as mentors in the schools and by their subject tutors, or other specialists appointed for the purpose.
In the third term there is a further period of school experience.
Main subject work is a major time commitment on the programme.
This is normally the subject in which you have specialised during your degree studies.
You will be helped to think about its nature, to re-experience it for yourself and to consider its relevance to pupils in schools and its relationship to other subjects in the school curriculum.
Main subject work, which continues throughout the year, is offered in:
The subject tutor works closely with a team of experienced teachers in designing and teaching the programme and in selecting and assessing students. Further details of these programmes are provided in the subject-specific pages.
The University has an active equal opportunities policy and applications are particularly welcome from graduates from minority ethnic backgrounds and those with disabilities. We are a member of the Positive Action Training Hub (PATH) a consortium of Initial Teacher Training (ITT) providers in the South West region, working together with the government and local authorities in the region to address under representation in the teaching profession.
Prospective applicants with disabilities are encouraged to visit Disability Services to identify the range of services and provision available and to make contact with both Disability Services staff and the PGCE Office to discuss any potential need for support. We encourage applicants and student teachers to be open about disability and be confident that we have a commitment to manage disability issues positively. Judgements at interview are only focussed upon academic and professional requirements.
Applications are made through UCAS Teacher Training which acts as the clearing house for admissions to PGCE programmes across the UK
Applications can be made from 21 November 2013 and throughout the year, depending on vacancies.
The generic selection criteria for all subjects is as follows:
The selection criteria will be assessed initially using evidence from the UCAS Teacher Training form and, if called for interview, from the range of activities on the interview day. Interviews are conducted by a subject tutor often with a school teacher from a local partnership school. Although the way interviews are conducted varies between subjects, when candidates are invited to interview typically this will include: making a presentation, engaging in a group discussion with their peers, completing a variety of interview tasks and having an individual interview.
It would be helpful if applicants to the PGCE at Bristol could book their Skills Tests as soon as they have made their UCAS Teacher Training application and confirm the date of the tests to us. Candidates will be at an advantage if they have passed the tests by the time they are interviewed.
For further information on the tests and how to book, please see the Teaching Agency pages on the DfE's website.
It is PGCE programme policy, in line with DfE (Department for Education) regulations, to interview all short-listed candidates before a place is offered. Candidates are expected to attend interview in Bristol in person. We do not conduct telephone or Skype interviews. Wherever possible, staff from our partnership schools are involved in the recruitment of candidates to the PGCE, including taking part in the interview process.
It will help you to read the Educational Press and to talk to teachers and those currently undertaking teacher training.
The best preparation for interview is a visit to a school. If you are considering a career in teaching this is one of the first steps you should take. Even if you left school only recently you will be surprised at how different it is when seen from the perspective of the teacher.
You should try to secure some observation in a comprehensive school in the state sector and observe some lessons in your subject area with students in the 11-16 age range.
It is important that you have some letter of introduction since schools are rightly wary of unknown visitors. The University of Bristol will normally require you to make a school visit, preferably before interview, and will supply you with a letter of introduction if you are offered an interview.
When you visit a school be sure to talk to teachers and students and participate in lessons if you are encouraged to do so. Try to evaluate what is being learned and the way in which the teacher encourages this learning.
You will be expected to discuss your observation visit at interview and to be able to go beyond a description of what you have seen by analysing the experience and showing an understanding of the deeper processes. It may well help to take notes and to refer to these at the interview.
Prior to admission to the programme, all students are required by the DfE to have:
We do not offer equivalence tests for the GCSE Mathematics and English requirements and we do not accept equivalence tests.
We do not accept the Adult Literacy and Numeracy qualification or Access course qualifications as equivalences of GCSE Mathematics and English.
Candidates wishing to teach Physics, Chemistry or Mathematics, but with insufficient subject content in their degrees, may be accepted on the programme conditional on successfully completing a Physics, Chemistry or Mathematics Enhancement course (PEC/CEC/MEC). These run from January to July in various locations including Bath.
Candidates wishing to teach a shortage subject and needing to strengthen their subject knowledge may wish to attend a subject knowledge booster course run in August in various locations including Gloucester.
All students are required to undertake prescribed medical formalities before starting the PGCE. A University of Bristol Health Questionnaire and other required documentation are automatically sent to candidates holding an offer prior to the start of the programme.
Any offer is conditional upon the satisfactory receipt of an Enhanced Disclosure from the Disclosure and Barring Service and medical clearance from the University of Bristol. Details will be provided in your offer letter.
If you are offered a place you will be expected to take it up in the next academic year. If you cannot take up a place in the next academic year, you must re-apply through UCAS Teacher Training. All offers are subject to the verification of admission requirements.
If you are offered a place you will be asked to confirm online with UCAS Teacher Training. We ask you to consider this acceptance most seriously as it is a formal undertaking to take up the place.
Holding a place governs the offers which can be made to other applicants. The number of places is strictly limited and it is essential that the University fills its quota in each subject.
If you withdraw your acceptance, particularly after July, you are likely to be denying an opportunity to other candidates.
In 2013/14, the University of Bristol will be charging £9,000 tuition fees for the PGCE course. The fees for 2014 will be updated here as soon as they are available.
UK/Home and EU students will not have to pay the fees up-front and can apply for a tuition fee loan to cover the cost of the fees.
Students from England should apply to Student Finance England for a tuition fee loan.
Information about training bursaries for the PGCE starting in 2014 is now available from the National College for Teaching and Leadership (NCTL) pages on the DfE website.
Extract from Training Bursary Initial Eligibility Guidance:
The bursary awards are not taxable; however may be treated as capital income for the purposes of assessing income for trainees in receipt of state benefits, as with student maintenance loans. Providers are advised to direct trainees towards their local benefits office to check whether this may affect their state benefits.
In 2014/15, the University of Bristol will offer a financial support package for PGCE students, delivering:
Please ensure you read the full Terms and Conditions (PDF 206.5Kb) before applying. An application form (Word document 85.5Kb) can be downloaded and should be returned by the deadline of 9am on Friday 1st August 2014.
For further information on financial support available including government support please visit the fees and funding website.
Alumni of the Bristol PGCE may find this information useful

DETROIT, Feb. 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Valentine's Day is the perfect time to show that special someone how much you love them. The healing power of human touch through the technique of regular massage has proven to lower stress, alleviate pain, improve mood and increase overall wellness.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20131105/PH10976LOGO )
Massage therapy is known to decrease levels of the stress hormone cortisol and increase the production of "relaxing hormones" such as oxytocin in men and serotonin in women.

A shared massage experience is another way to strengthen the bonds between couples. More couples have become interested in Massage Envy Spa's Couples Massage because it allows them to share the experience with a loving partner.

Came across an odd one today while updating the software on our two Eoses - wondered if anyone had encountered anything similar before.
One of the consoles updated without any problems. The other Eos seemed to update OK, but when it booted after the update had completed, there was no response from any of the buttons to the right of the right-hand touchscreen (Displays / Snapshots / Macro / More SK). The LEDs in the buttons flashed during boot, but the keys did absolutely zilch when pressed. Rebooted the console, and it was still the same story - no response from any of that cluster of buttons. The only way I could get them to work again was to uninstall the software, roll back to the previous build, and then run the update again - following which all was well.
Gareth Hughes
Clwyd Theatr Cymru, Mold, North Wales, UK
What version were you upgrading to?
Did you try rebooting again after the initial install of the software? Usually another reboot will fix it.
Steven PetersonETC Test Technician
Going from 22.214.171.124.0.21 to 22.214.171.124.1.34
The desk rebooted twice during installation, as it should. I also rebooted twice following installation, and that didn't bring the buttons back to life - hence having to resort to rolling back and reinstalling.
I had the same problem but prior to upgrading to the latest software. The desk had been sat untouched for a couple of hours and when we come to use it, the buttons had stopped working. Although the problem did go away for me after a reboot. I haven't seen it happen again since upgrading!
Liam Jones, Birmingham Repertory Theatre
Same problem going from 184.108.40.206.3 to 188.8.131.52.31
rebooting about 10 times with and without plug off the power did not help.
I did the update again (without reimage) and choiced "repair" as the installer asked. Than it worked.
Hope, the other desks will not trouble me like the first one...

There's a fear there, said Mayor Alberta McCrory, born from a rash of shootings in the last several days. It was not clear Monday how many shooting have taken place in recent days, because many of those shootings have gone unreported to police, McCrory said.
She's learned of them second-hand from residents, McCrory said.
"People are afraid," McCrory said. "We have a lot of single women in this are ... in section eight housing, and you have a lot of children. That's really serious when people don't value life any more than that."
A shooting Sunday night that was reported left two bullet holes in the window of a Hobson City woman's car. The woman and her 5-year-old child, who were in the car during the shooting, were unharmed. The Calhoun County Sheriff's Department is asking for help identifying those involved.
Deputies are also investigating another shooting that took place June 4 after a 28-year-old woman reported to police that she found bullet holes in her SUV, which had been parked on Martin Luther King Drive.
Calhoun County Sheriff Larry Amerson told The Star early Monday that the shootings may be between "two different factions" involved in an ongoing dispute. Amerson added that the town's residents have been very quiet about those shootings.
McCrory went a step further during Monday's meeting, saying the violence might be related to gangs.
"People are afraid when you start talking gangs, when you start talking shootings," McCrory said.
The town just last month started receiving regular patrols from sheriff's deputies. The town's own police department closed in 2007 due to declining funds. Since then, deputies have said criminals from outside of town moved in to take advantage of the lack of police presence.
Councilman Freddie Striplin expressed concern over growing fear among the residents.
"We've got to restore a sense of safety to MLK, because right now MLK doesn't feel safe," Striplin said.
McCrory is asking for help in putting an end to the violence.
"Somebody has to tell somebody something," she said. "Before they can do anything about it."
In other business, the Town Council:
— Approved a contract to hire Chris Ball as an emergency, on-call repairman for town-owned water and sewer lines.
— Approved a contract with Babb's Engineering for a six-month period at $600 each month to conduct rainwater mitigation studies for the town. Much of Hobson City sits in a flood plain, said McCrory.

Charges filed in Vt. man's deathNovember 22,2012FORT EDWARD, N.Y. — A 30-year-old Vermont woman is free on bail after pleading not guilty to charges stemming from a crash on New York Route 22 in Hebron that killed an 83-year-old man.
Cassie Early of Arlington, Vt., entered the plea Tuesday before a Washington County judge in Fort Edward.
A grand jury indicted Early on a series of charges from the 7 a.m. crash on July 29, including aggravated vehicular homicide, and manslaughter in the death of Vincent Muro Sr., of West Rutland, Vt.
Court documents say Early had a blood alcohol level more than double the legal limit for driving.
Police say Early's pickup crossed into the wrong lane and hit Muro's vehicle.
The Glens Falls Post Star reported that Early could be sentenced to 25 years in prison.MORE IN This Just InTODAY'S WEATHER MINUTE: Soil beneath Greenland ice sheet predates dawn of mankind, Hitch faces true Hollawood problem head-on, Mark Twain on school boards, all in today's minute. 0Rutland Herald content editor Rich Alcott shares local weather information and easily digestible...

I also have a WellMate composite tank and had no problem to wrap it in insulation. I also wrapped both the iron filter and softener. I used the foil and bubblewrap insulation. You can make cuts in it to form it to the curves and then use foil duct tape or vapor barrier Tuck tape.
I often wondered why someone doesn't come out with a wetsuit like material with a zipper.
BTW, I only wrapped the WellMate up to the high water mark. It doesn't sweat on the top third.

Most people know John Frankenheimer's movie "The Manchurian Candidate," which stars Frank Sinatra, Laurence Harvey, Janet Leigh, and Angela Lansbury in the story of an American soldier who is captured in Korea and programmed by Chinese Communists to kill on command. And most people probably think of the movie as a classic of Cold War culture, like "On the Beach" and "Invasion of the Body Snatchers"—a popular work articulating the anxieties of an era. In fact, "The Manchurian Candidate" was a flop. It was released in the fall of 1962, failed to recover its costs, and was pulled from distribution two years later, after the assassination of John F. Kennedy. It turned up a few times on television, but it was not shown in a movie theatre again until 1987, which—nearly the end of the Cold War—is the year its popularity dates from. The true artifact of Cold War culture is the novel, by Richard Condon, that the movie was based on.
Condon's book came out in 1959 and was a best-seller. It was praised in the Times ("a wild, vigorous, curiously readable melange") and The New Yorker ("a wild and exhilarating satire"); Time named it one of the Ten Best Bad Novels—which, from a publisher's point of view, is far from the worst thing that might be said about a book. The novel's success made Condon rich; he spent most of the rest of his life abroad, producing many more works in the genre that Time had identified, including "Winter Kills," in 1974, and, in 1982, "Prizzi's Honor." His adaptation of that novel for the John Huston movie received an Academy Award nomination in 1986. He died in 1996.
Condon was a cynic of the upbeat type, not unlike Tom Wolfe: his belief that everything is basically shit did not get in the way of his pleasure in making fun of it. He learned that attitude in the finest school for it on earth, Hollywood. Before he was a novelist, Condon was a movie publicist. He began, in 1936, at Walt Disney Productions, where he promoted "Fantasia" and "Dumbo," among other animated masterpieces, and moved on to a succession of studios, finishing up at United Artists, which he left in 1957. He didn't know what he wanted to do next; he just wanted out. "The only thing I knew how to do was spell," he later explained, so he did the logical thing and became a writer. Condon claimed that his work in Hollywood had given him three ulcers. He also claimed that he had seen, during his years there, ten thousand movies, an experience that he believed gave him (his words) "an unconscious grounding in storytelling."
Frankenheimer called "The Manchurian Candidate" "one of the best books I ever read," but admirers of Frankenheimer's movie have not been so gracious. Greil Marcus, in a characteristically overheated appreciation of the movie in the British Film Institute's Film Classics series, calls the novel a "cheaply paranoid fantasy," and he goes on, "That the story would lodge in the nation's psyche and stay there was the work of other hands." The film historian David Thomson describes it as "a book written so that an idiot could film it." No doubt Condon wrote "The Manchurian Candidate" with a movie deal in mind. It was his second novel; his first, called "The Oldest Confession," was also made into a movie—"The Happy Thieves," starring Rex Harrison (a flop that stayed a flop). But the claim that Condon's "Manchurian Candidate" is not much more than a draft for the screenplay (which was written by George Axelrod, the author of "The Seven Year Itch") is peculiar. Michael Crichton writes books that any idiot can film; he practically supplies camera angles. But Condon's is not an easy book to film, in part because its tone is not readily imitated cinematically, and in part because much of it is, or was in 1962, virtually unfilmable. Strange as the movie is—a thriller teetering on the edge of camp—the book is stranger.
Time, a magazine whose editors, after all, have daily experience with overcooked prose, was not wrong in seeing something splendid in the badness of Condon's book. "The Manchurian Candidate" may be pulp, but it is very tony pulp. It is a man in a tartan tuxedo, chicken à la king with shaved truffles, a signed LeRoy Neiman. It's Mickey Spillane with an M.F.A., and a kind of summa of the styles of paperback fiction circa 1959. The writing is sometimes hardboiled:
The slightest touchy thing he said to her could knock the old cat over sideways with an off-key moan. But what could he do? He had elected himself Head Chump when he stepped down from Valhalla and telephoned this sweaty little advantage-taker.
Sometimes it adopts a police-blotter, "degree-zero" mode:
"Thank you, Major. Dismiss," the general said. Marco left the office at four twenty-one in the afternoon. General Jorgenson shot himself to death at four fifty-five.
Occasionally, and usually in an inconvenient place, it drops a mot recherché:
Raymond's mother came out of her chair, spitting langrel. ["Langrel": irregular pieces of iron loaded into shell casings for the purpose of ripping the enemy's sails in naval battles; obsolete.]
He clutched the telephone like an osculatorium and did not allow himself to think about what lay beyond that instant. ["Osculatorium": medieval Latin, for a tablet that is kissed during the Mass. There appears to be no connotation involving clutching.]

An allegation or cooperation with a research misconduct proceeding is not in good faith if made with knowing or reckless disregard for information that would negate the allegation or testimony.
Good faith as applied to a committee member means cooperating with the research misconduct proceeding by carrying out the duties assigned impartially for the purpose of helping an institution meet its responsibilities under this policy. A committee member does not act in good faith if his or her acts or omissions on the committee are dishonest or influenced by personal, professional, or financial conflicts of interest with those involved in the research misconduct proceeding.
3.6. "Inquiry" means preliminary information-gathering and preliminary fact-finding.
3.7. "Investigation" means the formal development of a factual record and the examination of that record leading to either a finding of research misconduct or a finding that no research misconduct occurred. The investigation report may include recommendations for administrative actions relating to the conduct found.
3.8. "Notice" means a written communication served in person or sent by mail or its equivalent to the last known street address, facsimile number, or e-mail address of the addressee.
3.9. "Person" means any individual, corporation, partnership, institution, association, unit of government, or legal entity, however organized.
3.10. "Preponderance of the evidence" means proof by information that, compared with that opposing it, leads to the conclusion that the fact at issue is more probably true than not.
3.11. "Research" means a systematic experiment, study, evaluation, demonstration, or survey designed to develop or contribute to general or specific knowledge by establishing, discovering, developing, elucidating, or confirming information.
In addition, "research" includes work for the advancement of a discipline or field of study, or the integration of the discipline with other fields, through original research, artistic work, exhibitions, or performance, or by the application of discipline- or field-based knowledge to the practice of the profession.
3.12. "Research misconduct" means fabrication, falsification, or plagiarism in proposing, performing, or reviewing research, or in reporting research results. Research misconduct does not include honest error or differences of opinion.
3.12.1. Fabrication is making up data or results and recording or reporting them.
3.12.2. Falsification is manipulating research materials, equipment, or processes, or changing or omitting data or results such that the research is not accurately represented in the research record.
3.12.3. Plagiarism is the appropriation of another person's ideas, processes, results, or words without giving appropriate credit.
3.13. "Research misconduct proceeding" means any actions related to alleged research misconduct taken under this policy, including but not limited to allegation assessments, inquiries, investigations, Federal oversight reviews, hearings, and administrative appeals.
3.14. "Research record" means the record of data or results that embody the facts resulting from scholarly inquiry, including but not limited to, research proposals, laboratory records, both physical and electronic, progress reports, abstracts, theses, oral presentations, internal reports, journal articles, and any documents and materials provided to a College official or a Federal agency by a respondent in the course of the research misconduct proceeding.
3.15. "Respondent" means the person against whom an allegation of research misconduct is directed or who is the subject of a research misconduct proceeding.
3.16. "Retaliation" means an adverse action taken against a complainant, witness, or committee member by a member of the College community in response to –
3.16.1. A good faith allegation of research misconduct; or
3.16.2. Good faith cooperation with a research misconduct proceeding.
4.1. Members of the Bluefield State College community will pursue their research and scholarly activities in a manner that is consistent with the highest standards of ethical, scientific, and scholarly practice. The College will take all reasonable and practical steps to foster an environment that promotes the responsible conduct of research, research training, and related activities; discourages research misconduct; and deals promptly with allegations or evidence of possible research misconduct, including the specific steps in this policy.
5.1. Ensuring a fair research misconduct proceeding: The Vice President of Academic Affairs (hereafter in this policy, "VPAA") is responsible for the overall administration, interpretation, and application of this policy. The VPAA carries out this responsibility with the respondent's Dean and/or Program Director, and the President, as provided in this policy. If a particular proceeding presents the VPAA, the Dean or Director with a real or apparent conflict of interest, the VPAA or that officer's designee appoints a replacement to carry out the responsibilities of the individual with a conflict of interest for that proceeding. If the respondent and the VPAA, the Dean or Director disagrees as to whether a conflict exists, VPAA or that officer's designee resolves the disagreement.
The College takes all reasonable steps to ensure an impartial and unbiased research misconduct proceeding to the maximum extent practicable throughout the proceeding. It selects those conducting the inquiry or investigation on the basis of expertise that is pertinent to the matter and, prior to selection, screens them for any source of potential bias or unresolved personal, professional, or financial conflicts of interest with the respondent, complainant, potential witnesses, or others involved in the matter. Any such conflict that a reasonable person would consider demonstrating potential bias disqualifies the individual from selection.
The College takes all reasonable steps to ensure that complainants, respondents, and other members of the College community maintain confidentiality and cooperate in the conduct of research misconduct proceedings as provided in this policy and cited in the Whistleblower Law, W. Va. Code § 6C-1-1.
5.2. Confidentiality: To the extent allowed by law, the College maintains the identity of respondents and complainants securely and confidentially and does not disclose any identifying information, except to those who need to know in order to carry out a thorough, competent, objective, and fair research misconduct proceeding.
To the extent allowed by law, any information obtained during the research misconduct proceeding that might identify human study participants in research is maintained securely and confidentially and is not disclosed except to those who need to know in order to carry out the research misconduct proceeding.
Persons to whom this policy applies and to whom information described above is disclosed must maintain the confidentiality of that information to the maximum extent possible, except that the respondent may disclose this information as needed to defend against an allegation of research misconduct.
5.3. Maintenance and custody of research records and evidence: The College takes the following specific steps to obtain, secure, and maintain the research records and evidence pertinent to the research misconduct proceeding:
5.3.1. If the respondent's Dean or Program Director determines that an allegation warrants the conduct of an inquiry, the College, not later than when it notifies the respondent of the allegation, takes all reasonable, practical, and lawful steps to obtain custody of all research records and evidence needed to conduct the research misconduct proceeding, inventory those materials, and sequester them in a secure manner, except that in those cases where the research records or evidence encompass equipment or instruments shared by a number of users, custody may be limited to copies of the data or evidence on that equipment or those instruments, so long as those copies are substantially equivalent to the evidentiary value of the equipment or instruments.
5.3.2. Where appropriate, the College gives the respondent copies of, or reasonable, supervised access to, the research records. To the extent consistent with its commitment to maintain confidentiality, the College provides other researchers who participated in the work similar access to sequestered records.
5.3.3. The College undertakes all reasonable and practical efforts to take custody of additional research records and evidence discovered during the course of the research misconduct proceeding, including at the inquiry and investigation stages, or if new allegations arise, subject to the exception for equipment or instruments in 5.3.1above.
5.3.4. The College maintains all records of the research misconduct proceeding for seven years after completion of the proceeding or any related proceeding of the funding agency, whichever is later, unless the proceeding involved Federal support and research misconduct as defined by the funding agency and the College has transferred custody of the records and evidence to the appropriate Federal agency or that agency has advised the College that it no longer needs to retain the records.
5.4. Notice to respondent: During a research misconduct proceeding, the College provides notice to all identified respondents as specified in this policy.
5.5. Notifying Federal agencies as required: For proceedings that involve Federal support and research misconduct as defined by the funding agency, the College meets the reporting requirements of the funding agency relating to the decision whether an investigation is warranted. The College may be required to provide the research records and evidence reviewed during the inquiry, transcripts or recordings of any interviews, and copies of all relevant documents, among other materials.
The College also meets the reporting requirements of the funding agency pertaining to –
5.5.1. Any plans to close a case at the inquiry, investigation, or appeal stage on the basis that the respondent has admitted guilt, a settlement with the respondent has been reached, or for any other reason than a finding that an investigation is not warranted or that no misconduct occurred; and
5.5.2. The outcome of the investigation and any administrative actions against the respondent.
5.6. Reporting to non-Federal funding entities: For proceedings that involve support from non-Federal entities, the College complies with all reporting requirements of, and provides any information requested by, the funding entity relating to the proceeding, subject to any legal limitations on the disclosure of that information.
5.7. Interim protective actions: The College takes appropriate interim actions at any time during a research misconduct proceeding to protect the integrity of the research process, public health, and any Federal funds and equipment involved in the proceeding. The necessary actions vary according to the circumstances of each case. Examples of actions that may be necessary include delaying the publication of research results, providing for closer supervision of one or more researchers, requiring approvals for actions relating to the research that did not previously require approval, auditing pertinent records, and taking steps to contact other institutions that may be affected by an allegation of research misconduct.
At any time during a proceeding that involves Federal support and research misconduct as defined by the funding agency, the College notifies the funding agency immediately if it has reason to believe that any of the circumstances specified in the agency's regulations exist.
5.8. Protecting and restoring reputations:
5.8.1. Respondents. If a respondent is found not to have engaged in research misconduct, the College undertakes all reasonable, practical, and appropriate efforts to protect and restore the respondent's reputation if the respondent or his or her legal counsel or other authorized representative requests that it do so. For example, the College might notify individuals who were aware of or involved in the investigation of the final outcome, publicize the final outcome in forums in which the allegation of misconduct was previously publicized, and/or expunge references to the allegation from the respondent's personnel file. The College obtains the permission of the respondent or his or her legal counsel or other authorized representative before taking any such action.
5.8.2. Complainants, witnesses, and committee members. The College undertakes all reasonable and practical efforts to protect and restore the position and reputation of any good faith complainant, witness, or committee member and to counter potential or actual retaliation against those persons.
5.9. Cooperation with Federal agencies: For proceedings that involve Federal support and research misconduct as defined by the funding agency, the College cooperates fully and on a continuing basis with Federal agencies during any oversight reviews of the College and its research misconduct proceedings and during the process under which the respondent may contest the agency's findings of research misconduct and proposed administrative actions. The College cooperates with and assists the appropriate Federal agency, as needed, to carry out any administrative actions it may impose as a result of a final finding of research misconduct by that agency.
6.1. Making an allegation: An allegation of research misconduct may be made by disclosing the alleged misconduct to any other member of the College's administrative or professional faculty or, if the allegation involves Federal support and research misconduct as defined by the funding agency, to an official of that agency, through any means of communication. Allegations received by a person other than the respondent's Dean or Program Director should be promptly referred to the Dean or Director.
The complainant has a duty to make the allegation in good faith. Bad faith allegations will be treated seriously. If at any point in a research misconduct proceeding the VPAA or the respondent's Dean or Program Director believes that the allegation was not made in good faith, that official refers the matter for appropriate handling under existing College procedures. In addition, if the respondent is a member of the faculty, he or she may bring a grievance under the grievance provisions of the Faculty Handbook.
6.2. Eligibility to conduct a research misconduct proceeding: Only College employees may serve on an inquiry or investigative committee in a research misconduct proceeding. However, the College may obtain the advice of non-employees with relevant expertise at any stage of the proceeding, including the preliminary assessment of the allegation. .
6.3. Preliminary assessment of allegation: Within 14 days of receiving an allegation of research misconduct (or as soon as possible if this time limit cannot be met), the respondent's Dean or Program Director assesses the allegation to determine if an inquiry is warranted and notifies the VPAA of his or her determination.
Except in extraordinary circumstances, an allegation that is not made in writing or subsequently reduced to writing and supported by specific evidence does not warrant an inquiry. An inquiry is warranted if the alleged conduct meets the definition of research misconduct in this policy and is sufficiently credible and specific so that potential evidence of research misconduct may be identified. If the alleged conduct fails to meet these criteria, no inquiry is conducted. If the alleged conduct meets these criteria, the Dean or Director determines if it involves Federally-supported research, as described in the regulations of the funding agency, or other support under an agreement between the College and another party.
A research misconduct proceeding is not discontinued as a result of the termination of a respondent's employment or the respondent's refusal to cooperate in the conduct of the proceeding.
6.4. Initiation of inquiry: The purpose of an inquiry is to conduct an initial review of the evidence to determine whether to recommend that an investigation be conducted. Within 14 days of receiving a determination that an inquiry is warranted (or as soon as possible if this time limit cannot be met), the VPAA appoints an inquiry committee and a chair of that committee from among individuals who do not have real or apparent conflicts of interest in the case, are unbiased, and have the necessary expertise to evaluate the evidence and issues related to the allegation. The Dean or Program Director then makes a good faith effort to provide notice to the presumed respondent, if any. This notice includes a statement of the allegation, a description of the inquiry process, the identities of the members of the inquiry committee, and all applicable College policies.
The respondent may challenge a member of the inquiry committee on the basis of conflict of interest or bias by submitting the challenge in writing to the VPAA within five (5) days of receiving the notification. The VPAA determines whether and with whom a challenged member is replaced. The respondent may challenge the replacement in the same manner. If the inquiry subsequently identifies additional respondents, the Dean or Director promptly provides notice to them in the same manner.
6.5. Inquiry process: At the inquiry committee's first meeting, the Dean or Program Director reviews the charge with the committee and discusses the allegations, any related issues, the appropriate procedures for conducting the inquiry, and the timeframe for completing it. The committee reviews the evidence and may interview the complainant, the respondent, and others with knowledge of relevant circumstances. After completing its initial review of the evidence, the committee prepares a draft inquiry report and gives the respondent a reasonable opportunity to provide written comments on it. The inquiry committee completes the inquiry, including the preparation of a final inquiry report that includes any comments received from the respondent, within 60 days of the committee's first meeting unless the Dean or Director determines, and documents in the inquiry record, that the circumstances warrant a longer period.
6.6. Results of inquiry: The inquiry committee prepares an inquiry report to the Dean or Program Director in which it recommends whether an investigation should be conducted. An investigation is warranted if there is a reasonable basis for concluding that the alleged conduct falls within the definition of research misconduct under this policy and preliminary information-gathering and preliminary fact-finding from the inquiry indicates that the allegation may have substance. The committee's inquiry report contains the following:
6.6.1. The name and position of the respondent;
6.6.2. A description of the allegations of research misconduct;
6.6.3. Any Federal or other external support involved, including, for example, grant numbers, grant applications, contracts, and publications listing that support;
6.6.4. The basis for recommending that the alleged actions warrant an investigation;
6.6.5. Any comments on the report by the respondent;
6.6.6. A recommendation as to whether the complainant should be notified of the results of the inquiry and, if so, which parts of the report, if any, should be included in the notification and whether the notification should require that the information be maintained confidentially; and
6.6.7. Any recommendations the committee may have to refer any of its findings to other College officials for appropriate action, if the committee does not recommend that an investigation be conducted.
6.7. College determination based on inquiry: Within 14 days of receiving the inquiry report (or as soon as possible if this time limit cannot be met), the Dean or Institute Director determines whether to conduct an investigation, provides notice to the respondent of this determination, provides the respondent a copy of the inquiry report and this policy, acts on the other recommendations of the inquiry committee, and notifies the VPAA of the determination and provides the VPAA with a copy of the documentation. The College counsel reviews the determination for legal sufficiency.
6.8. Initiation of Investigation: The purpose of an investigation is to determine whether research misconduct, as defined in Section 3, occurred and, if so, by whom and to what extent. A finding of research misconduct requires that –
6.8.1. The misconduct be committed intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly; and
6.8.2. The allegation be proven by a preponderance of the evidence; and
6.8.3. There be a significant departure from accepted practices of the relevant research community.
The College has the burden of proof in making a finding of research misconduct. The respondent has the burden of going forward with, and proving by a preponderance of the evidence, any affirmative defenses and any mitigating factors relevant to a decision to impose administrative actions.
Within 30 days after determining that an investigation is warranted, the VPAA begins the investigation by convening the first meeting of an investigation committee. The VPAA appoints the investigation committee and a chair of that committee from among individuals who do not have real or apparent conflicts of interest in the case, are unbiased, and have the necessary expertise to evaluate the evidence and issues related to the allegation. Members of the inquiry committee may not serve on the investigation committee unless their expertise is essential.
The VPAA provides notice of the commencement of the investigation to the respondent within seven days after determining that an investigation is warranted. This notice includes a statement of the allegation, a description of the investigation process, and the identities of the members of the investigation committee. The respondent may challenge a member of the investigation committee on the basis of conflict of interest or bias by submitting the challenge in writing to the VPAA within five days of receiving the notification. The VPAA determines whether and with whom a challenged member is replaced. The respondent may challenge the replacement in the same manner.
6.9. Investigation process: At the investigation committee's first meeting, the VPAA reviews the following: the allegations, the findings of the inquiry, the procedures and standards for conducting the investigation, confidentiality obligations, the need for an investigation plan, the possible penalties for a finding of misconduct, and the timeframe for completing the investigation. The College counsel accompanies the VPAA at the first meeting of the investigation committee and remains available to advise the committee during its investigation.
If the investigation discloses any allegation against the respondent not addressed during the inquiry or in the initial notice of the investigation or any allegation against an additional respondent, the committee reports the allegation to the VPAA, who refers it to the respondent's Dean or Program Director for a preliminary assessment of the allegation and other appropriate steps as provided in this policy. If that officer finds that the allegation meets the definition of research misconduct in this policy and is sufficiently credible and specific, he or she provides the respondent against whom the allegation is made notice of the decision to pursue the allegation within a reasonable time.
In conducting the investigation, the committee –
6.9.1. Uses diligent efforts to ensure that the investigation is thorough and sufficiently documented and includes examination of all research records and evidence relevant to reaching a decision on the merits of the allegations;
6.9.2. Interviews each respondent, complainant, and any other available person who has been reasonably identified as having information regarding any relevant aspects of the investigation, including witnesses identified by the respondent; and
6.9.3. Pursues diligently all significant issues and leads discovered that are determined relevant to the investigation, including any evidence of additional instances of possible research misconduct, and continues the investigation to completion.
The committee ensures that any interview conducted during the investigation is recorded, that a transcript of the recording is prepared, that the interviewee is provided a copy of the transcript for correction and the opportunity to comment on its contents, and that the transcript and any comments of the interviewee are included in the record of the investigation. The respondent may attend interviews of the complainant and witnesses and direct questions to them. The committee notifies the respondent at least 14 days in advance of the scheduling of his or her interview and any interview he or she is entitled to attend so that the respondent may prepare for the interview and arrange for the attendance of legal counsel or another authorized representative to advise the respondent at the interview, if the respondent wishes.
6.10. Results of investigation: After gathering and examining the relevant evidence, the investigation committee –
6.10.1. Prepares a draft investigation report;
6.10.2. Gives the respondent a copy of the draft report, and, concurrently, a copy of, or supervised access to, the evidence on which the report is based; and
6.10.3. Provides notice to the respondent of his or her opportunity to provide written comments on the draft report within 30 days of the date on which he or she received it.
The committee ensures that any comments submitted by the respondent are considered and included in the final investigation report. The committee also gives the College counsel a copy of the draft investigation report to review for legal sufficiency.
The committee then prepares a final investigation report to the VPAA. In the report, the committee –
6.10.4. Describes the nature of the allegations of research misconduct;
6.10.5. Describes and documents any Federal or other external support, including, for example any grant numbers, grant applications, contracts, and publications listing that support;
6.10.6. Describes the specific allegations of research misconduct considered in the investigation;
6.10.7. Includes the College policies and procedures under which the investigation was conducted;
6.10.8. Identifies and summarizes the research records and evidence reviewed, identifies any evidence taken into custody but not reviewed, and summarizes the reasons why any evidence was not taken into custody;
6.10.9. Provides a finding as to whether research misconduct did or did not occur for each separate allegation of research misconduct identified during the investigation, and if misconduct was found, (i) identifies it as falsification, fabrication, or plagiarism and whether it was intentional, knowing, or in reckless disregard; (ii) summarizes the facts and the analysis supporting the conclusion and considers the merits of any reasonable explanation by the respondent and any evidence that rebuts the respondent's explanations; (iii) identifies the specific Federal or other external support, if any; (iv) identifies any publications that need correction or retraction; (v) identifies the person or persons responsible for the misconduct; and (vi) lists any current support or known applications or proposals for support that the respondent or respondents have pending with any Federal agency;
6.10.10. Includes and evaluates any comments made by the respondent on the draft investigation report;
6.10.11. Includes a recommendation as to whether the complainant should be notified of the results of the investigation and, if so, which parts of the report, if any, should be included in the notification;
6.10.12. Includes any recommendations it may have for administrative actions relating to the conduct found; and
6.10.13. Includes any recommendations it may have to assist the complainant or any other person who was harmed by the conduct found.
The committee uses its best efforts to complete the investigation within 120 days of the date on which it began. For proceedings that involve Federal support and research misconduct as defined by the funding agency, if the committee is unable to complete the investigation within the time prescribed by the funding agency, the VPAA communicates with the agency regarding any requirements relating to an extension. For other proceedings, the VPAA grants an extension for good cause.
6.11. College determination based on investigation: Upon receiving the final investigation report, the VPAA reviews the report and makes a determination on behalf of the College as to whether research misconduct occurred and, if so, by whom, and whether the College accepts the findings of the investigation. The VPAA recommends to the President what administrative actions, if any, the College should take against the respondent, taking account of the recommendations in the final investigation report. The College counsel reviews the determination and the recommendation of the VPAA for legal sufficiency. The President determines what administrative actions, if any, the College takes against the respondent, except that the provisions of the Faculty Handbook regarding a dismissal for cause apply to that action.
The VPAA provides a copy of the final investigation report and the College's decision to the respondent.

Install carpet with low-VOC adhesives
Most residential carpet is installed with the tackless strip method, an eco-friendly method that does not involve adhesives. However, if you are installing cushion-backed (commercial carpet), carpet tiles or indoor-outdoor carpet, you will most likely apply an adhesive to the wood subfloor or cement pad. Additionally, carpet padding is sometimes adhered to the sub-floor with adhesives before the carpet is laid down. Adhesives that contain high levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) contribute to indoor air pollution and may affect your health.
How to install carpet with low-VOC adhesives
Carpet installation for large jobs is usually done by professionals. However, homeowners looking to install indoor-outdoor carpet, or install carpet in small areas can look to these websites for advice:

Installing carpet with low-VOC adhesives helps you go green because…
- It releases fewer volatile organic compounds into the air, minimizing indoor and outdoor air pollution, and their associated health and environmental concerns.
Organic chemicals are widely used as solvents in adhesives and other household products. When these carpet adhesives are used, they release organic compounds into the air we breathe. Concentrations of many VOCs are up to 10 times higher indoors than outdoors, and some are suspected or known human carcinogens.[1]
Consumers are instructed to use these products indoors only in properly ventilated areas, which then evacuates these pollutants to the outdoors. VOCs contribute significantly to ground-level ozone (smog) production and a variety of health problems.[2] Ground-level ozone also harms ecosystems and vegetation, accounting for an estimated $500 million in reduced crop production each year in the United States.[3] Using low-VOC products can help reduce air pollution. In fact, the reduction of VOC emissions by 1 ton per year is the same as taking 26 cars off the road.[4]
Instead of solvents, manufacturers of low- or no-VOC adhesives use heat or other processes to emulsify the resin. Generally, water-based adhesives emit fewer VOCs than conventional solvent-based products.[5]
Even low- or no-VOC products may contain toxic ingredients, such as formaldehyde and toluene.[6][7] Chemically sensitive individuals need to be particularly careful when choosing adhesives. Technical Data Sheets or Materials Safety Data Sheets obtained from retailers or manufacturers' websites list information about the adhesives that may help in making a choice.
Certified products
Two organizations presently certify carpet adhesives for low-VOC emissions. The Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) manages three indoor air quality testing programs. The most stringent is the Green Label Plus program, which meets California's indoor quality standards for low-emitting products used in schools and office buildings.[8] Adhesive products are independently tested for emission levels of 15 chemicals.[7]
GREENGUARD Environmental Institute also tests adhesives for VOCs.[9] This testing program sets maximum allowable emission levels in accordance with the US Environmental Protection Agency's procurements specifications, the recommendations from the World Health Organization, LEED for New Construction, and LEED for Commercial Interiors.[10]
Although low-VOC adhesives typically cost more than their conventional counterparts, the cost is no more than 5 percent higher.[5] Cost is not the only concern, however. Manufacturers say low-VOC products perform on par with conventional products, yet widespread use among contractors has been slow, primarily due to longer cure times. This slow acceptance is expected to change, however, as manufacturers improve the products as well as their accessibility.[11]
Related health issues
People spend more than 90 percent of their time indoors, and evidence suggests that the quality of indoor air, even in large cities, is often more polluted than the outside air.[12] VOCs vary in their ability to negatively affect health; some are highly toxic and others have no known health effects. Common sysmptoms after exposure are eye, nose, and throat irritation; headaches; loss of coordination; nausea; and liver and kidney damage. Some VOCs are suspected or known to cause cancer in humans.[13]
- formaldehyde: A flammable reactive gas belonging to the VOC (volatile organic compound) family of chemicals. It is widely used in personal care products, building materials, insulation, and home furnishings. Ingestion of the chemical can cause severe physical reactions, including coma, internal bleeding, and death.[14] It a probable human carcinogen.[15]
- ground-level ozone: The main component of smog, ground-level ozone is formed when volatile organic compounds (VOCs) react chemically with nitrogen oxides (NOx) when it is sunny and hot outside.[16] Many urban areas have high levels of this summertime pollutant but rural areas can have increased ozone levels too as wind can carry ground-level ozone hundreds of miles from where it originates.[17] Breathing ozone can cause a number of respiratory health problems plus it damages ecosystems and vegetation including crops.[18]
- toluene: A clear, water-insoluble liquid with a smell familiar to anyone who has opened a can of paint thinner. This aromatic hydrocarbon is known as a developmental toxicant that can cause adverse effects on the developing child. Effects can include birth defects and low birth weight. More than 1 million pounds are produced in the US annually.[19]
- volatile organic compounds (VOCs): Gases released by a wide variety of products, including carpet, household cleansers, furniture, and dry-cleaned clothing.[13] VOCs can cause several health concerns, ranging from headaches and respiratory inflammation to central nervous system problems. VOCs are also considered a possible human carcinogen.[13]
