Academic Honesty

Fairfield University's primary purpose is the pursuit of academic excellence. Teaching and learning must be based on mutual trust and respect. This is possible only in an atmosphere where discovery and communication of knowledge are marked by scrupulous, unqualified honesty and integrity. Such integrity is fundamental to, and an inherent part of, a Jesuit education. Any violation of academic integrity wounds the entire community and undermines the trust upon which the discovery and communication of knowledge depends.

All members of the Fairfield University community share responsibility for establishing and maintaining appropriate standards of academic honesty and integrity. As such, faculty members have an obligation to set high standards of honesty and integrity through personal example and the learning communities they create. It is further expected that students will follow these standards and encourage others to do so.
