Academic Integrity:

WCIU’s Academic Integrity Policy
http://www.wciu.edu/library/academic_integrity.html

“The Center for Academic Integrity (CAI) defines academic integrity as a commitment, even in the face of adversity, to five fundamental values: honesty, trust, fairness, respect, and responsibility. From these values flow principles of behavior that enable academic communities to translate ideals to action.” The Center for Academic Integrity, Duke University, Durham, NC, retrieved April 18, 2006.
