Take Action
Students and faculty have a responsibility for promoting integrity on campus as part of our passion to pursue success with integrity. See how you can take action if you have concerns.
A Shared Responsibility
Students and faculty both have a role to play in promoting academic integrity.
- Students have the “informal authority” to influence their peers and take control of their own behaviors and choices.
- Students are often aware of cheating when the professor isn’t (e.g., during out-of-class assignments).
- They also see temptations and opportunities where the professor doesn’t, and therefore they have a role to play in promoting integrity as well.
- Faculty have authority to decide classroom rules and set up the classroom structure.
- Faculty can create healthy ethical classrooms and reduce cheating temptations and opportunities.
