Academic Integrity at PennState : 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 academiccommunity that values integrity promotes the highest levels of personal honesty,respect for the rights, property, and dignity of others, and fosters anenvironment in which students and scholars can enjoy the fruits of their efforts. Academic integrity includes a commitment neither to engage in acts offalsification, misrepresentation, or deception, nor to tolerate such acts by othermembers of the community.
Academic integrity is a fundamental value at PennState. It must be at the heartof all our endeavors and must guide our actions every day as students and asmembers of the faculty, administration, and staff. Because we expect new andcontinuing members of the University community to meet the high standards thatare the foundation of a PennState education, this message must be clear andreinforced frequently.
The primary responsibility for supporting and promoting academic integrity lieswith the faculty and administration, but students must be active participants. Aclimate of integrity is created and sustained through ongoing conversationsabout honesty, trust, fairness, respect, and responsibility and the embodiment ofthese values in the life of the University. Students and faculty should contributeactively to fostering a climate of academic integrity in all their scholarlyactivities, through discussions in first-year seminars and in other courses, andthrough involvement in college Academic Integrity Committees.
The Universitycommunity should be continually mindful of the need to preserve academicintegrity even as technology changes methods of information access and use.Colleges will provide all faculty members and teaching assistants informationabout appropriate ways to promote academic integrity and handle dishonesty cases. Faculty members and graduate assistants must make clear theirexpectations about academic integrity in every course they teach.As members of the Council of Academic Deans, we strongly support efforts toenhance academic integrity at PennState. We will provide individual andcollective leadership to strengthen further the University’s commitment to thehighest standards of academic integrity.
