THE INTERNATIONAL CENTER FOR ACADEMIC INTEGRITY PRESENTS:
THE 23RD ANNUAL
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY:
INTEGRITY IN THE REAL WORLD
FEBRUARY 26 - MARCH 1, 2015
PINNACLE HARBOURFRONT HOTEL
VANCOUVER, CANADA
WELCOME TO THE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
ON ACADEMIC INTEGRITY!
Welcome to Vancouver!
Vancouver’s famously mild climate, mountain views, cosmopolitan atmosphere and multi-cultural
society are only a tiny fraction of what’s to love about this city. We’ve built in time (Saturday
evening) for you to walk along the Sea Wall, explore Gastown, and visit Stanley Park. It will be
impossible not to find something enchanting.
Against this amazing backdrop, we’ve planned a program that includes original research, best
practices, expert advice and new voices with fresh perspectives on familiar topics like plagiarism
and honor councils as well as innovative approaches and ideas. Best of all, you’ll be surrounded
by colleagues who share your passion for, and commitment to academic integrity. It’s an
environment like no other.
We invite you to make the most of the conference and all it has to offer. Attend sessions and then
have fascinating conversations that cause you to miss sessions. Make new friends and reconnect
with your regional representatives. Share your expertise, and then discover new perspectives that
you hadn’t yet considered. Think. Doubt. Reflect. Think more. Think differently. And most of all,
enjoy the rare opportunity to delve deeply into an issue that is absolutely essential to education
and society, with others who care about it just as much.
Know that your work makes a difference and we are glad you are here!

FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE EXECUTIVE BOARD
Welcome to the International Center for Academic Integrity Annual Conference 2015!
What a delight and privilege it is to welcome you all to this year’s conference on behalf of the
Executive Board of ICAI. It’s been a busy 12 months for the Center, beginning with the 2014
Conference in Jacksonville, Florida, through to many other collaborations, conferences and
presentations around the world. Our Director, Dr. Teddi Fishman, has represented ICAI in South
Africa, England, Russia, Greece, Canada, and many US states. I have also had the pleasure of
representing ICAI in Australia, India, Dubai, Mexico, and Colombia.
Many members of ICAI’s ‘extended family’ have joined international scholars to contribute to
the reference work, the Handbook of Academic Integrity (Springer 2015). The University of
Auckland, in collaboration with FutureLearn, has developed an outstanding MOOC, Academic
Integrity: Values, Skills, Action which is based firmly on the values and ideals of ICAI. With this
much activity and interest in the topic it is clear that integrity is very far from being an issue
relevant only to schools and universities. It is demonstrably a ‘real world’ issue which impacts on
every aspect of our lives.
I am looking forward to many vibrant discussions exploring the links between academic integrity
and personal and professional integrity. I am especially looking forward to catching up with
colleagues, meeting new friends and forging relationships with potential collaborators at another
exciting and invigorating ICAI conference. I am confident that the conference will inspire all of
us to continue the important work of promoting integrity in our own sphere of influence, knowing
that our work certainly won’t end in Vancouver!

PRESIDENT, ICAI EXECUTIVE BOARD

A BRIEF HISTORY OF ICAI
OCTOBER 1995
By the time of
the conference
at Georgetown
University, CAI’s
membership
had grown from
twenty-four to
sixty-six schools.
CAI receives
a two-year
$80,000 grant
from the William and Flora
Hewlett
Foundation to
support its work.
The second
CAI
conference
is held at the
University of
Pennsylvania.
10
The grant funds
new research
and allows CAI
to hold two
board meetings
per year.
JANUARY 1997
The new organization chooses McCabe
as its first president,
welcomes twenty four
schools as charter
members, and is incorporated in Maryland.

The Center for Academic Integrity is
founded by Don McCabe, Jim Lyons, Bill
Kibler, Sally Cole of
Stanford University,
Gary Pavela of University of Maryland, and
John Margolis of Northwestern University.
FALL 1994
The first
official
Center for
Academic

of Rutgers
University in
New Jersey
meets with
other future
founding
members to discuss troubling
data concerning cheating at
31 schools he
had surveyed.
OCTOBER 1992
MARCH 1992
The International Center for Academic Integrity originates from a March 1992 conference at
which Dr. Don McCabe of Rutgers University assembled a group of friends and colleagues to
discuss the results of his 1990 survey of academic integrity in higher education. This survey of
31 schools revealed troubling data concerning the extent of cheating and the attitudes surrounding it. At the conclusion of the meeting, Jim Lyons of Stanford University asked, “Where
do we go from here?” During the ensuing dialogue, Bill Kibler, then at Texas A&M University,
proposed the creation of a Center for the Study of Academic Integrity. . .
Duke University
establishes the
Kenan Ethics Program that evolves
into the Kenan Institute for Ethics under
Dr. Elizabeth Kiss, a
future partner and
home for CAI.
CAI begins to settle in its
new home within the
Rutland Institute for Ethics.

T
eaching ethical decision-making using teambased learning, part one
Tricia Bertram Gallant & Jim Sibley
Salon A
Abstract:
Teaching ethics is often a response to ethical transgressions,
like cheating or plagiarism, not as professional preparation. Teaching
students how to make ethical decisions is critical to creating cultures that
value integrity and preparing our students to be ethical professionals.
In this workshop, participants will learn the fundamentals of teaching
ethical decision-making using a powerful teaching methodology known
as Team-Based Learning (TBL). Participants will leave the session with the
knowledge they need to get started teaching ethical decision-making
using TBL at their own institutions.

nstitutional
approaches
to
academic
misconduct: bridging the legal and ethical
approaches to policy
Friday
Christopher Lang and Giselle Basanta
Salon B
Abstract:
Institutional policies should cover both the ethical and the
legal aspect in addressing issues of academic integrity at the institutional
level. The ethical approach sets the values framework and articulates
the expectations for students with regard to academic integrity at the
institution. The ethical aspect of policy provides the lens through which
these types of institutional policies are implemented with the ultimate
goal of the academy in mind: good global citizenship.
The objective of the legal approach is due process and procedural
fairness for students suspected of academic misconduct. All policies
authorize academic sanctions, penalties and consequences for students,
and require a high degree of vigour to ensure robust decision making
processes.

ersonalizing
the educational component
academic integrity programs
Breea Clark & Camilla Roberts
of
your
Salon B
Abstract:
A strong educational component is key to any Honor and Integrity
Program. For several years both Kansas State University and the University of Oklahoma
have offered a 1-hour Development and Integrity course as a sanction for academic
dishonesty. The University of Oklahoma has recently expanded its educational component
by offering a second, 1-hour course specifically tailored toward plagiarism avoidance.
This pre-conference program seeks to share information from both universities and lead
an interactive discussion for the purpose of generating ideas to enhance, or create,
educational and remedial sanctions for students that will advance the awareness of
integrity in the classroom and in the “real world.”
S
erious message, comedic delivery: using humour to
deter academic misconduct
Deb Eerkes & Chris Hackett
Salon C
Abstract:
This interactive pre-conference workshop will examine the possibilities of
connecting with students using humour (note the Canadian spelling!) to broach the issue
of academic integrity. We all believe cheating and plagiarism are serious, but it can be
a real challenge to convince students to pay attention when we talk about them. Using
humour appropriately can help form the connection we need to raise awareness and get
students thinking about serious issues.

Opening Luncheon
Lessons in Empathy
Tracey Bretag
Tricia Bertram
Gallant
We complain a lot about our students: they’re lazy; they don’t
read instructions; they’re always asking for extensions. But are
they so different from us? In this opening address, President of
the Executive Board to ICAI, Dr. Tracey Bretag, will share her experiences as a teacher, researcher, author, journal and book
editor, and suggest that we academics use all the same excuses as our students to rationalise why we haven’t completed
tasks, submitted papers or met deadlines.
However, while we expect (and most often get) leniency from
our colleagues and supervisors, we are too often reluctant
to show the same compassion and understanding to our students. This lack of empathy for the complexity of our students’
lives can lead to a breakdown of trust and this can have serious consequences for academic integrity. Prepare to be challenged!
UPDATE ON ICAI’S INTEGRITY ADVOCACY WORK
ICAI, with the help of volunteers, has been investigating the
legality of contract cheating and essay mill sites. In this talk,
Tricia Bertram Gallant will update members on the state of the
project and a proposal for Center action.

nfluencing academic integrity awareness and attitudes: a
study of freshman and international students
Paul Cronan Salon A
Abstract:
In this interactive workshop/presentation, we discuss how influencing freshmen
and incoming international students could affect change in the academic integrity (AI) culture. Survey results of University of Arkansas freshmen and incoming international students as
well as Colorado State University international students who were exposed to AI learning are
presented and discussed. AI learning included on-line learning using the RAISE System for Academic Integrity Education. Preliminary results (based on attitudes and perceptions regarding
AI, and pre/post AI learning sessions) indicate a significant increase in AI awareness and a
positive change in attitudes and show promise in enhancing awareness and attitudes.
R
e-branding a culture of dishonesty: connecting the issue
of academic integrity and infidelity in jamaican popular
culture
Dalton Hyman
Salon B
Abstract:
This program contains some adult content. The “responsibility” pillar of Academic Integrity is connected to infidelity portrayed in popular Jamaican dance and music.
Audio-video projections are utilized to illustrate how “irresponsible subjectivity” in pop culture
circumvents the building of cultures of integrity. From a Kierkegaardian perspective, Jamaican artistes are developing a culture of dishonesty and “anti-Christian” ethics. As the MOE
in Jamaica struggles to transform the country into a place of choice to work, live, and do
business, artistes are paradoxically dissing educational strategies and are implicated in the
ubiquity of dishonesty on stage, in the classroom, and the world.
T
he ethics of exam archives
Shane Arlington, Tyler Romeo, Elena Piper
Salon C
Abstract:
One of the benefits of an entirely student-run Honor System is that the policymakers are intrinsically more attuned to the state of academic integrity on a campus. At a
technical school, where plagiarism is a low-occurrence violation due to the curricula, unauthorized aid on mid-term and final exams is the core focus of the Stevens Honor Board. To that
end, we are working to assess and address the long-standing issue of examination archives
through a “fight-fire-with-fire” mentality.

S
tudents’ views of academic integrity and its moral basis
Mark Sheldon
Salon E
Abstract:
This workshop will include an analysis of 1150 entering first year student essays
to gain clarity about how they regard academic integrity, and the moral reasoning they appeal to in order to explain and justify their views. The purpose of this study is to develop insight
into where students are in their thinking about academic integrity. The thought is that, with the
results of this study, we can think about the kind of communication and work that is needed
in order to move students to a deeper appreciation for the meaning of academic integrity in
relation to their education and the institution in which they are being educated. The objective
is to help students understand that their education and the integrity with which they engage
in this activity of being educated are necessarily one.
I
mpact of student-teacher relationship on academic integrity
in pakistani universities
Muhammad Shahid Soroya
Salon F
Abstract:
This study aims to find the student-teacher academic relationship and its impact on academic integrity in Pakistani universities. In Pakistan, students have been indulging
in copying, cheating, and taking help from peers and other sources while preparing their
assignments and research based papers. The design of the study is quantitative in nature, in
which the survey research method was employed to gather data from the respondents. The
findings of the study would be beneficial for both the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan and government departments for policy making.

provides students with an informal venue to meet with company representatives and discuss
ethical dilemmas in the professional workplace. This session will highlight the Donuts and Dilemmas initiative, as well as invite discussion around other opportunities to engage students

erformance enhancing drugs: from an issue of academic
integrity to workplace integrity
Ezra Littman, Michael Littman
Salon A
Abstract:
There is an important issue on the academic integrity of using performance
enhancing drugs (PED) such as Adderall in the academic setting. The continuing issue of concern is how the use of these PED impact people in an employment setting. The goal of this
presentation and interactive discussion is to focus on the academic integrity skills developed
in an academic setting to its translation and impact in the work life setting.

ntegrity and technology: transition from high school to
college
Aditya Srivatsan, Megan Lopretto, Elizabeth Peinado, Sheila Vizar
Salon C
Abstract:
Technology is omniscient in our society. From texting and social media, to the
vast internet, students can collaborate with each other and find others’ ideas with ease. Appropriate technology use is a skill that high school students need to fully understand when
they move forward to college. Newark Academy high school works with their students to
arrive at the happy medium between using technology effectively while upholding integrity.
Through creating a positive environment and establishing clear expectations for assignments,
technology can be conveniently used without being abused.
B
ehavioral science approaches to academic integrity
David Rettinger, Holly Tatum, Paul Cronan, Ben Barraclough, John Fox, Eta Lin, Nicole Rankin
Salon D
Abstract:
With the growth of public awareness of the threats to academic integrity on
our campuses has come a commensurate growth in academic research on the topic. Following in McCabe’s (2012) footsteps, behavioral scientists are considering the personal, cultural,
and situational causes of cheating. This research has two overarching goals: to learn more
about people’s ethical behavior in this important real-world situation and to apply the findings
to reduce cheating. This panel discussion will present four different approaches to this challenge, with the goal of providing applied scientific findings to spur future research collaboration and application of existing results.

Abstract:
This session examines the presenter’s institution as a case study in the challenges affecting American-style higher education abroad in relation to implementing academic
integrity policies, practices, and initiatives. The institution operates in a unique triangulation; in
offering a dual US/UK degree, it aligns two educational philosophies (UK and US) and their approaches to integrity while operating within a third culture (southern Mediterranean) in which
systemic issues exist in students’ educational background and within the society/culture at
large.

Stephen Kuntz, Glenda Baker, Brenda Leskiw Salon F
Abstract:
The Plagiarism Awareness, Prevention, and Skill Building Project developed resources to engage and equip instructors and students. After developing and trying to implement the materials, the team realized that moving beyond plagiarism towards integrating
integrity was essential. We will articulate how our project attempts to address the issues holistically and how administrators/instructors view and use the materials. We will conclude with
Integrity and Wholeness: Seeking Truth, a professionally produced video and the final piece of
the project, and an extensive participant-focused discussion about moving beyond our current paradigm and thinking about integrity and plagiarism.

romoting a culture of academic integrity
through interdepartmental collaboration
Dana Capell

Abstract:
Focusing on the experience of a small university, this
presentation explains how the university’s Student Services and Instructional Technology staff, senior administrators, and faculty collaborated to create a centralized, widely-used, online module to
educate students about academic integrity. Examining the different
resources and benefits that the departments provide and take from
the module, this presentation argues that inter-departmental collaboration has allowed for the promotion of academic integrity not only in
a resource-efficient manner, but also in a way that incorporates the
knowledge of a diverse range of stakeholders.

Abstract:
Integrity is valued both in academia and the real world, but it can come
at a cost. Through collaboration among administrators, faculty, and librarians on a university regional campus, students benefit from authentic instruction and an affordable intervention program. One academic librarian and technology lecturer teamed together to
reinforce plagiarism prevention early in the semester. These lessons are further expanded
in a Technology, Ethics & Global Society course focusing on integrity in the technology
workplace. Attendees will learn how to incorporate integrity issues in STEM courses and to
develop an instruction and intervention tool for use on their campus.

integrity in our students
Peter Cohen Salon B
Abstract:
For too long, the focus in this discipline has been placed upon the shortcomings of our students, their peers, their secondary education and their parents. The only way to
break this cycle is to call for a new paradigm. We, as members of the academy, owe it to our
‘consumers’ to point out we will not put up with the way our institutions are changing. Further,
we need to point beyond our institutions to the NCAA, religious institutions, Congress, etc. In
the immortal words of Howard Beale, we must scream to them from our windows, ”We’re mad
as hell and we’re not going to take it anymore.” And, neither should they!

How do institutions know that the person receiving credit for an online course
is the person actually completing the coursework and passing the assessment? Verifying the
identity of students, while preserving the academic integrity and brand of an organization’s
reputational standing is no longer an option but a requirement. What’s the acceptable balance between a student’s experience vs. an organization’s right to safeguard their online
programs, while also complying to federal government standards of identity verification? How
can online programs contribute to the affordability of education and comply to government
standards by deterring, preventing and stopping financial aid fraud, which is a taxing cost to

Alexis Brooke Redding Salon A
Abstract:
This presentation will share the findings of a study about the Stuyvesant High
School cheating scandal of 2012. Using Constructivist Grounded Theory (CGT) to analyze the
discourse in student editorials published in the school paper before and after the high-profile
incident, this analysis reveals a previously undocumented combative attitude between students and educators. It further highlights patterns of cheating that serve no tangible benefit
to students, but are undertaken as part of a rebellion against the competitive environment of
the school. Understanding this complex case will help educators consider best practices for
promoting integrity among high achieving students in the future.

that misconception extends beyond the student body? This session draws on our experience

The Texas Tech University Ethics Center’s Coffee Break Ethics Series engages
students through group interaction to encourage academic integrity and to discuss ethical
issues. One such workshop is “Paraphrasing, Quoting, and Plagiarism,” discussing: 1) plagiarism; 2) paraphrasing with source credit; 3) paraphrasing techniques to reduce risk of source
oversight; 4) use of online tools to curtail margin of error; and 5) best practices. The paraphrasing process challenges students to understand the content and to be able to articulate in
their own words; it involves comprehension, critical thinking, and communicating skills that are
much needed in the real world.

Abstract:
Cheating rates among college students – both academic and personal –
approach 70%. Whereas the vast majority believe the act is wrong the dishonest behavior
is justified by the perception that everybody does it and few get caught. As educators, we
inherently see the value of honest work in college (and beyond) and believe our leadership
efforts benefit students and the greater academic community. Fifty years of data, however,
suggest our message may be falling on cynical and deaf ears. Here we investigate a new
approach for students: showing them that honesty is a direct path to happiness.

Two tools have been developed to help educational institutions adopt academic integrity best practices. The Academic Integrity Rating System (AIRS) and the Academic Integrity Maturity Model (AIMM) were created for different purposes and different audiences, but do share many similarities as well as desired outcomes. Thus an integrated toolset
is being considered. Participants in this workshop will help to critique and refine the criteria
and indicators used in both instruments, so that we may create a toolset that will benefit all
educational institutions, regardless of where they sit geographically and culturally.

occurred. The results recommend that sanctions for academic misconduct consist of a combination of a significant impact on a student’s course grade as well as an educational component to aid students throughout the remainder of their academic career. This study serves
as a framework for other institutions that have a sufficient amount of data to analyze the effectiveness of their sanctions.
