Academic Integrity
The Center for Academic Integrity (CAI) defines academic integrity as a commitment, even in the face of adversity, to five fundamental values: honesty, trust, fairness, respect, and responsibility. From these values flow principles of behavior that enable academic communities to translate ideals into action.
Academic integrity provides the foundation for learning, teaching, research and service at Queen's University. Its central values of honesty, trust, fairness, respect and responsibility enable instructors, students and staff to contribute to a community of knowledge dedicated to the freedom of inquiry and open exchange that characterizes the educational environment at Queen's.
