Academic Integrity Program

TILT's Academic Integrity Program contributes to University-wide efforts to cultivate a culture of academic integrity. The director of the program works closely with faculty, the Office of Conflict Resolution and Student Conduct Services (CRSCS), and the Associated Students of Colorado State University on a variety of projects related to academic integrity.

The goals of the program are to:

  • Create professional development activities that increase instructor-understanding of issues related to academic integrity
  • Disseminate educational and informational strategies focused on preventing academic misconduct
  • Assist faculty and students in understanding procedures when suspected incidents occur
  • Conduct assessments of campus behaviors, information, and attitudes about academic integrity
  • Encourage and facilitate visible manifestations of the university's culture of academic integrity, including the development and implementation of a student honor pledge.

Colorado State University has long upheld values of academic and scholastic integrity. The General Catalog's "Policies and Guiding Principles" asserts that CSU "expects students to maintain standards of personal integrity that are in harmony with the educational goals of the institution" - citing "principles of academic honesty" as the first example. (1.6 Page 1).

Likewise, the General Catalog and Graduate Bulletin both note that CSU has "twice been ranked among the nation's Top Character Building Institutions by the Templeton Foundation and that "the foundation of a university is truth and knowledge, each of which relies in a fundamental manner upon academic integrity. . . . " (Catalog 1.6 Page 6, Graduate Bulletin, page 51)
