Most
people would define ethical behavior as "doing the right thing." Most
people do not want to associate or do business with people who engage in
unethical behaviors, such as lying, cheating, and stealing. Academic integrity
creates a culture in which students, faculty, and staff can trust one another
to act with honesty, fairness, responsibility, and respect. Cheating, lying,
and plagiarizing (presenting someone else’s work as your own) are behaviors
that are counter to Ashford University's culture of honor and integrity.
Sometimes a student may think that it is acceptable to copy and paste content
from the Internet and submit this as their own work. Sometimes a student may
falsify a story to his or her instructor in hopes of getting an extension on an
assignment. These behaviors diminish academic integrity. We will be exploring
more scenarios on these topics in the upcoming weeks. Share your thoughts on
this topic by answering the following questions:
- What does academic integrity
mean to you?
- Why do you think it is
important for a university to maintain high standards when it comes to
academic integrity?
- Would you want to attend a
university that did not have these standards? Explain?
