Academic Integrity at Penn State : A Statement by the Council of Academic Deans

 

                                                

 

                   Academic integrity mandates the pursuit of teaching, learning, research, and

                   creative activity in an open, honest, and responsible manner. An academic

                   community that values integrity promotes the highest levels of personal honesty,

                   respect for the rights, property, and dignity of others, and fosters an

                   environment in which students and scholars can enjoy the fruits of their efforts.

                   Academic integrity includes a commitment neither to engage in acts of

                   falsification, misrepresentation, or deception, nor to tolerate such acts by other

                   members of the community.

 

                   Academic integrity is a fundamental value at Penn State. It must be at the heart

                   of all our endeavors and must guide our actions every day as students and as

                   members of the faculty, administration, and staff. Because we expect new and

                   continuing members of the University community to meet the high standards that

                   are the foundation of a Penn State education, this message must be clear and

                   reinforced frequently.

 

                   The primary responsibility for supporting and promoting academic integrity lies

                   with the faculty and administration, but students must be active participants. A

                   climate of integrity is created and sustained through ongoing conversations

                   about honesty, trust, fairness, respect, and responsibility and the embodiment of

                   these values in the life of the University. Students and faculty should contribute

                   actively to fostering a climate of academic integrity in all their scholarly

                   activities, through discussions in first-year seminars and in other courses, and

                   through involvement in college Academic Integrity Committees. The University

                   community should be continually mindful of the need to preserve academic

                   integrity even as technology changes methods of information access and use.

 

                   Colleges will provide all faculty members and teaching assistants information

                   about appropriate ways to promote academic integrity and handle dishonesty

                   cases. Faculty members and graduate assistants must make clear their

                   expectations about academic integrity in every course they teach.

 

                   As members of the Council of Academic Deans, we strongly support efforts to

                   enhance academic integrity at Penn State. We will provide individual and

                   collective leadership to strengthen further the University's commitment to the

                   highest standards of academic integrity.
