Cheating: A Legal Primer Toolkit for Faculty & Administrators

A cheating epidemic has descended upon colleges and universities, and it poses a danger to the health of your school. 

Cheating strikes at the core of your school’s integrity. 

It creates an unethical environment among your students, and ultimately diminishes the quality and reputation of your institution. 

Why do you need to take action sooner than later?

• Technology is making cheating easier than ever before.
  New electronic tools and techniques have made cheating too convenient for students and too difficult for faculty to monitor. 
• Some students are more interested in a diploma than an education.
  For many students, the pursuit of knowledge has taken a back seat to the pursuit of a big salary. A diploma is the ticket to a high-paying job, and many will take the easiest route to get it.
• Legal issues are causing confusion and inaction.
  Administrators are wary of a legal misstep whenever a case of cheating arises. Is prosecuting a cheating case worth a lawsuit in return?  If you’re not prepared, your school faces that possibility. 

Led by Debi Moon, J.D., and Rob Jenkins, M.A., this 75-minute seminar on CD cuts through the legalese.

We give you practical advice on:

• Creating a culture of academic integrity students will experience the moment they step foot on your campus.
• Protecting yourself from defamation and invasion of privacy charges that result from commonly-used confrontation methods.
• Combating the social norm that condones cheating by using five proven techniques in your classroom.
• Learning the best ways to handle grading and course completion while an investigation is underway.
• Eliminating confusion among your faculty and students by developing a cohesive package for academic integrity issues.
• We help you learn how to provide a unified front to combat cheating on campus.

In Cheating: A Legal Primer Toolkit for Faculty & Administrators you’ll discover how to:

• Minimize your legal exposure.
• Develop an honor code for your campus.
• Analyze your current policies for consistency and thoroughness.
