Plagiarism, academic misconduct, and cheating have all been used as terms to describe departures from academic integrity. However, at its core, academic integrity is a set of values and policies that set the standards for how students, educators, and researchers conduct themselves within the academic community. It is a code of conduct based on the values of trust, honesty, fairness, respect, responsibility, and courage. In this Ask the Expert session open to all educators across campus, you will have an opportunity to ask questions, be introduced to strategies for promoting academic integrity, resources and more!
