"Academic integrity is the responsibility of all those who perform
academic work,
whether it be the
research, scholarship, and teaching of the faculty or the studies of the student body. Academic ethics
are the mutual responsibility of both students and faculty. A University's reputation depends upon the
quality and integrity of the academic work that its faculty and students perform. The University believes
that academic integrity, as embodied in the following principles, is so important that, in calling the
Code to the attention of the University community, the Provost notes that it is a concept to which all
students should subscribe thoroughly so that its enforcement will be unnecessary." - The University of
Pennsylvania Honor Code
