Academic Misconduct: Self-Care for Instructors

According to the Academic Integrity Office at UCSC, academic integrity means “approaching all aspects of teaching, learning, and research with honesty, fairness, responsibility, and respect.” 

Learning about and maintaining academic integrity provides students with the opportunity to think more broadly about the role of integrity — personal and professional — in communal life. A college degree is symbolic of the public trust from which a UCSC graduate will benefit in their future vocation. Part of our job as educators is to guide students in making choices that bolster this trust. While the tenets of academic integrity vary across disciplines, its basic premise does not. Our online guides will help you consider how you’ll talk to your students about academic integrity, create learning assessments that promote academic integrity practices, and respond to academic misconduct when it occurs.
