The Member, a teacher, faced allegations of professional misconduct for her involvement in the improper alteration of a student's mid-term mark on their Ontario Universities' Application Centre (OUAC) file.
The Discipline Committee found that the Member approached the school's Department Head of Student Services with concerns about the student's mark and its impact on university admissions.
The Member agreed to a plan where the Department Head unilaterally increased the student's mark from 80% to 91% on OUAC without the knowledge of the classroom teacher or administration.
The Committee concluded that the Member's actions breached ethical and professional standards, constituting dishonourable and unprofessional conduct, and conduct unbecoming a member.
