It was great to have an opportunity to welcome so many high school students to Christopher Newport University to discuss and consider the issue of integrity in our schools and universities. Dr. Don McCabe of Rutgers University, has done much research in the area of academic integrity. According to his data over 60% of high school students engage in some form of academic cheating.
Does this match what you see in your school?
Data seems to indicate that students cheat more today than they did 20 years ago. Why do you think we are seeing this increase?
What can you do to make a difference?
