Center for Academic Integrity

The Center for Academic Integrity is affiliated with the Kenan Institute for Ethics at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. The organization provides a forum to identify, affirm, and promote the values of academic integrity among students, faculty, teachers, and administrators. While the University of Tennessee is not a member of the consortium, the CAI website does offer valuable information and links to members sites. It can help in the development of policy planning and in the assessment of current programs. Among the offerings on this website are links to:

• Honor Codes From Other Institutions


• Brochure on the Fundamental Values of Academic Integrity


• Research Data on Academic Integrity Gathered By the CAI
