Building Honor in Academics: Case Studies in Academic Integrity

A 360-degree look at academic integrity with case studies from professors, administrators, and students

Building Honor in Academics: Case Studies in Academic Integrity is a collection of case studies on academic integrity from around the globe. More than case studies, the book is intended to help administrators, faculty, and students start conversations around the topic of cheating and academic integrity, and what to do when they find themselves faced with it firsthand. The case studies will come from honor code administrators, department leaders, faculty, and students across disciplines.

Written by leaders of The International Center for Academic Integrity, this book tracks the ICAI's six values of academic integrity: honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility, and courage. These six values manifest in different ways across different institutions, but they are all relevant in the quest to consider how to promote integrity in higher education. Academic integrity has received increased media attention since the beginning of the covid-19 pandemic, and now is the time to educate academic communities in the ideas, techniques, and strategies that work to enhance the level of personal responsibility in higher education.

• Learn about the six values of academic integrity and how they can guide your institution
• Read case studies from the perspectives of students, administrators, and faculty
• Identify large and small tasks you can undertake to promote academic integrity at all levels
• Become part of the solution as higher education shifts to a new framework for the digital age

Building Honor in Academics is an eye-opening resource for administrators, leaders, and policymakers in higher education, as well as students studying to enter these roles.
