Academic Honesty Programs
Academic honesty (or integrity) is the fundamental understanding that a person of character does not lie, steal, or cheat, especially in relationship to academic work. These principles may be supported in daily campus life by policies, enforcement procedures, sanctions, and educational programs that communicate the values of honesty, trust, respect, responsibility, and fairness. Although traditions, institutional missions, and student and faculty characteristics vary throughout the academy, exemplary academic honesty programs affirm and promote fundamental principles and standards for all members of the campus community.

"But while these are overt ways to provide advantages for the wealthy, there are far more insidious and subtle methods of skewing the admissions process. Take early admissions. Early admissions account for 35 percent of the incoming class at Duke this year, 20 percent at Brown, 50 percent at Yale and 40 percent at Stanford. Under most programs, early admittees are obligated to attend that school should they be granted admission. But early admissions favor the wealthy - in part because they are able to forgo weighing options for financial aid."
"Nor does diversity extend to racial composition. Of course every college boasts about its efforts to enroll a more racially diverse student body. But here are the facts: A New York Times article in 2004 revealed that Harvard’s incoming freshman class was 9 percent black, but between one-half and two-thirds of those black students were actually West Indian or African immigrants or the children of immigrants, and many others were biracial. In short, they weren’t African-American."
