The Pandemic and Academic Integrity: Student Affairs Professionals as a Support to Academic Interventions in Response to Plagiarism
Session Overview
This video was part of the July 2021 REMOTE: The Connected Faculty Summit
The Pandemic’s unprecedented impact on the academy is undeniable. Instructional methods have changed. Student support services have changed. Case study data and national trends are suggesting student academic behaviors are changing as well. A number of researchers are beginning to note a rise in plagiarism and are tying it to reading habits (Salik, Safitri, Satyaputri, & Ningsih, 2020), shifts in attitudes around it (Farooq, & Sultana, 2021; Memon, A. R., & Mavrinac, 2020) and are attempting to investigate the predictors of plagiarism (Nabee, Mageto, & Pisa, 2021). This presentation will provide a contemporary overview of the academic integrity issue, how a public HBCU has identified its own issue with it since the Pandemic, and the role of Student Affairs in supporting Academic Interventions for faculty.
