![]() Matching global trends, there is a perceived rise in “contract cheating” (where a student employs another person to do their academic work). This is roughly consistent with 2018-19, which saw 59 incident reports involving 65 individuals.įewer than 5% of students reported had a previous report on record (3 out of 67). These reports involved 67 students who received some kind of sanction or penalty from faculty members. In 2019-2020, the Academic Integrity Committee received 66 incident reports regarding violations of the Honor Code. This is also the portal for reporting suspected violations of the Honor Code. ![]() This site, last revised in 2014, includes the complete text of the Honor Code, explanations of policies and procedures, and resources for students and faculty. Faculty members deserve evidence-based professional development in supporting integrity and in responding to violationsĪcademic Integrity Incident Reports 2019-2020 Overviewįor information about the USF Honor Code and the Academic Integrity Committee, see.USF must do a better job of enacting c ura personalis through the academic integrity system. We must ensure that USF students have opportunities to foster their integrity and strengthen their ability to navigate a morally complex world.We see serious disparities in patterns of reporting and sanction, suggesting that USF’s academic integrity system, despite the good will of faculty and staff, may magnify inequalities in educational opportunity.In view of the data in this report, the AIC makes the following recommendations: Reporting is an essential component of USF’s process, emphasizing to students and the community that USF faculty will not look the other way, and helping ensure that students get the educational opportunities they deserve before leaving the USF community. ![]() We suspect, however, that incidents are under-reported (factors influencing faculty to under-report are treated in the Discussion section). ![]() In particular, there is a low incidence of second offenses, indicating that the USF Honor Code works by alerting students to the importance of integrity in academic work and giving them opportunities to learn, grow, and correct for lapses or errors in judgment. We see a low incidence of academic integrity violations generally. We hope the information in this report will help members of the USF community participate more effectively in supporting a culture of integrity at our institution. The Academic Integrity Committee presents this year-end report in the interests of equity, fairness, and transparency. ![]()
