Academic Integrity is a necessity in higher education, yet 2020 showed us that our institutions need to reframe our outlook on academic integrity by looking at it in more innovative ways. Students and faculty across the nation are wanting and willing to understand academic integrity and have policies and procedures in place to uphold the integrity of your institution’s degree. Institutions must address this need and want in meaningful and equitable ways. The discussion features panelists with extensive experience with academic integrity education, research, and adjudication and discussion topics include strategies for academic leadership to support, promote, and cultivate a culture of academic integrity.
