A Report to the UNCG Community Introduction Academic Integrity is fundamental to a successful academic community. Chronic cheating is also prevalent. On campuses with honor codes, only one in sixteen students reported such levels.
Faculties are reluctant to report students for cheating.
Less than half of 800 faculty surveyed on 16 campuses in 1992 had ever reported an incident of cheating in their classroom. Student survey data suggest that cheating is highest in those courses where it is well known that faculty ignore cheating or fail to report it. The Center for Academic Integrity, 2000. The UNCG Experience At UNCG, over the last five years, an average of only 28 cases of violations of the faculty-approved policy on Academic Integrity have been reported annually. This figure includes ALL known cases whether resolved between faculty member and student or through an academic integrity hearing process.
