- graduate programs to consider ways to ensure students struggling with writing are well connected to supports and services available on campus;
- FGS to ensure all students found to have breached the Senate Policy on Academic Honesty are informed of writing support services on campus;
- all offices that support international graduate students to consider how their needs may differ from domestic students with respect to integrating into a new educational setting, and ensure that international students are well connected to writing supports and services available on campus; and,
- York University to consider making the Academic Integrity Tutorial (http://www.yorku.ca/tutorial/academic_integrity/), or some other form of Academic Integrity training, mandatory.
