"The College Committee on Academic Integrity, which Harris leads, is preparing recommendations for reminding students of the importance of “academic honesty,” the school said. Harvard has orientation programs that focus on research and writing practices, such as integrity and appropriate citation, he said.
“We always stress academic integrity with our students,” he said. “It’s very hard to explain to someone this raises ethical concerns and that it’s not Okay.”
The large number of cases being investigated by the Administrative Board from a single class is “deeply disturbing,” said Michael Smith , dean of Harvard’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences, which includes most of its undergraduate teachers."
“At the same time, we must not forget the vast majority of our students complete all their assignments honestly, diligently, and in accordance with our regulations and practices,” he said in a letter to Harvard faculty, students and staff.
