We are strengthening the learning process because people who cheat learn from their mistakes. Wilson also mentioned that students can send anonymous e-mails or phone calls to SJA to report any acts of alleged misconduct. Many students often don't realize how academic misconduct may affect their future. We never really think about how cheating or plagiarism might affect others or our future careers, but in reality, dishonesty will affect us now and well into the future. Donald Moore, a current SJA officer and UCD alumni, said he believes that integrity isn't something most people think about.

In fact, integrity is important. Being honest with yourself and others will save you tremendous pain and energy. It becomes important as you prosper because more things are at stake. Your job, career, house, et cetera are all affected. Students have a wonderful opportunity to educate members of the campus community about academic misconduct.
