description The dedication of an institution to an academic integrity culture raises the bar for any academic activity, fosters academic trust, and attracts and produces honest and responsible people in the community. A good academic integrity policy statement should serve as a road map for an institution to define its approach to academic misconduct. It should be particular, focusing not only on the discovery of academic misconduct and corresponding sanctions but also on preventative actions. Given the shortcomings of present policies' detection and reactive tactics, creating and implementing a preventive strategy for academic misconduct would appear to be a fairer goal. Furthermore, because a poorly written policy may cause more harm than good, institutions should seek the advice of specialists to assist them in their efforts to maintain academic integrity.
