Academic Integrity in North America: A Comparison of Canada and the USA

The purpose of this chapter is to compare and contrast approaches to student academic integrity in the USA and Canada. To explore the points of difference, we explore five aspects of academic integrity which are addressed differently in the USA and Canada: (1) higher education governance; (2) quality assurance and accreditation; (3) honor codes versus an honor culture; (4) academic misconduct case management, sanctioning, and appeals; and (5) equity, diversity, inclusion, decolonization, and Indigenization.
