Description

In this edited volume, higher education experts and scholars tackle the challenge of understanding why ethical misconduct occurs in the academy and how we can address it. The volume editor and contributing authors use a systems framework to analyze ethical challenges in common functional areas (e.g., testing and admissions, teaching and learning, research, fundraising, spectator sports, and governance), highlighting that misconduct is shaped by both individuals and the contexts in which they work, study, and live. The volume argues compellingly for colleges and universities to make ethics a strategic, institutional priority. Higher education researchers, students, and practitioners will find this volume and its application of empirical research, real-life examples, and illustrative case studies to be an inspiring and applicable read.
Reviews / Votes
"This edited book provides an excellent summary of the complexity of academic corruption and offers a wide-ranging list of recommendations for teachers, students, and administrators."-The Journal of Higher Education
"Bertram Gallant offers a long overdue break from the many texts on student plagiarism and moral corruption, by examining academic integrity using a systems approach....[A] sophisticated understanding of the academic integrity agenda coupled with an impassioned plea for ethics to become an "intentional strategic priority for higher education" makes Creating the Ethical Academy essential reading for anyone interested in reinvigorating higher education."--International Journal for Educational Integrity
"Something is rotten in academe. There is, as Tricia Bertram Gallant and Lester F. Goodchild point out in the introduction to this disturbing, yet valuable, collection of essays, a "continuing academic ethics crisis" ... Tricia Bertram Gallant and her contributors have done the rest of us a favor by offering a useable intellectual framework for understanding the ethical dilemmas facing higher education today."-Teachers College Record
