I am an administrator of a university in U.K. A student has been found guilty of plagiarism and is facing the harshest punishment - 0 in the course and no opportunity to retake which will get him out of the school. However, he is also an academic. Do we need to inform the Department Head at his university even though university is a completely separate entity from ours. The course is different from what the student teaches at the other university. Concerned about the data breach and confidentiality issues. As academics do we have duty to report this? Please help.

    I think you need to refer to your local laws and university policies on privacy of student records. I don't have a strong feeling as to whether you have any sort of ethical duty to report this to the person's employing university, but it certainly wouldn't be such a strong duty that you should violate the law or risk your job in order to do so.

This may be covered by privacy law in UK as it would be in US. You need to consult with a lawyer before you take any action that isn't already embodied in your policies, which I assume have already been vetted.



If you are permitted to inform the other university you should also consider whether you are liable to civil action if you do so. But your lawyer will have advice about that as well.
