Students are the ones who are cheated most when other students cheat.
And they know it. Protecting the work of honest students was a primary goal of the Special Senate Committee on Student Academic Integrity, chaired by Regents' Professor Tom Clayton. The committee's final report was approved in principle by the senate April 20, and details for putting the recommendations into practice will be worked out this summer. The goals are to create a culture of academic integrity and to discourage cheating, Clayton says. Responsibilities of the OAI would include promoting academic integrity, investigating claims of cheating, imposing or recommending penalties, advising students of their rights and responsibilities when an allegation of cheating is made, and keeping track of all reports of cheating.
