Helping Students Learn From Ethical Failures
Defend Academic Integrity
Academic dishonesty is nothing new.
It is as endemic to education as crime is to society.
But today, cheating seems to be moving from an unfortunate and relatively rare occurrence to standard operating procedure for students.
- Consider…over half of students admit to cheating before they even leave high school.
- Over 30% admit to plagiarizing.
- And you have to assume the numbers are understated: wouldn’t the most egregious offenders be the least likely to come clean?
The prevailing attitude seems to be “win at all costs.”, get yourself into a good school, into a good grad school, into a good job, no matter how you have to do it.
Author and speaker Tricia Bertram Gallant, Ph.D., helps you defend academic integrity as she shares ideas on how to advocate for strong ethics and honesty on your campus.
