ABSTRACT
This chapter suggests that international students were "particularly vulnerable" to cheating ; it additionally led to recommendations that these students should be made more aware of what constituted cheating, and should be educated about the consequences of cheating. It describes that international students were more than twice as likely to have an academic integrity violation (AIV) as domestic counterparts. The chapter indicates that AIVs were reported to a lesser extent than one would expect if international students were particularly vulnerable to cheating and/or their cheating was pervasive. International students, however, could be at greater risk of reported AIVs than domestic counterparts due to their unique challenges, which include English deficiency and lack of familiarity with American academic integrity standards and/or teaching methods. Suspensions and expulsions as punishment have been ineffective in reducing, eliminating, or deterring cheating at the University as evidenced by the annual increase in the number of reported AIVs.
