The 2012 Harvard Cheating Incident: Lessons for Oswego
Wednesday, January 23, 10:30am-11:30am, Campus Center 206

At the beginning of the Fall 2012 semester, Harvard University was reported to be investigating 125 students from the Spring, 2012 class, "Introduction to Congress" (enrollment of 279), who allegedly cheated on a take-home final examination. For details, please see the useful summary at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2012_Harvard_cheating_scandal. This isn't the first institution to have a large-scale cheating incident. What happened? How might it have been prevented? And most importantly, what lessons might we learn from Harvard's experience that could improve the policy and process at SUNY Oswego? This forum will provide an opportunity for a lively discussion on the lessons of the Harvard "experience"!

We'd like to encourage as many faculty as possible to attend, in order to have a productive and lively discussion of what we can learn from the Harvard incident and what we might do to improve our policy and process here at Oswego. Your support will be helpful.

College Policy on Intellectual Integrity

"Intellectual integrity on the part of all students is basic to individual growth and development through college course work. When academic dishonesty occurs, the teaching/learning climate is seriously undermined and student growth and development are impeded. For these reasons, any form of intellectual dishonesty is a serious concern and is therefore prohibited." [preamble]

The full policy can be found here at the College Catalog.
