Welcome Welcome to the Center for Teaching for and Learning’s resource site on Academic Integrity in Teaching and Learning. This site provides information, assistance, and (we hope) inspiration for faculty members and graduate instructors at UNC, to help them establish a strong culture of academic integrity on our campus. Faculty members and students communicate information about their perspectives, beliefs, and attitudes through many diverse venues. Teaching, mentoring, advising, collaborative research, service, and co-curricular interactions are all activities that form and define our academic community. However, it is through engagement in teaching and learning that we commit ourselves to the exploration of our ideas and the ideas of others in the discipline, and honor, integrity and ethics provide the framework for examination of these ideas and demonstrate the strength of our commitment to scholarship. The Honor System represents a partnership forged and renewed by students, faculty, and staff at Carolina over many generations, as the best means available to set high standards of academic integrity and student conduct in our campus community. The System serves several important functions, including the articulation of norms regarding the pursuit of truth and respect for others who have come together for that purpose. It places squarely on the shoulders of students the responsibility for self- and peer discipline as a cornerstone of governance, imparting lessons crucial to those who will become citizen-leaders in the future. The Honor System provides students with informal education in many venues around campus, and assists instructors by providing information that can aid them in preventing misconduct. The principal website for the Honor System is operated by the Office of Student Judicial Programs. The “Honor Carolina” integrity initiative was launched in fall 2003 to provide many different ways to raise integrity-related topics in classes and informal discussions. It featured programs and lectures, student initiatives, and much more. The Chair of the Faculty encouraged all instructors to devote at least 30 minutes to a discussion of ethics and integrity in the subject of study in one of their fall semester classes. In connection with this initiative, the Center for Teaching and Learning developed an extensive library of resources to assist faculty and graduate students in creative efforts to engage their students in discussions around related themes. This website provides easy access to material about the University of North Carolina’s Honor System and resources for teaching and learning that relate to academic integrity.
