Fundamental Values of Academic Integrity
The University of Regina is a member of the International Center for Academic Integrity (ICAI). According to the ICAI’s widely adopted definition, academic integrity is “a commitment, even in the face of adversity, to six fundamental values: honesty, trust, fairness, respect, responsibility, and courage. From these values flow principles of behaviour that enable academic communities to translate ideals into action.” (https://academicintegrity.org/resources/fundamental-values).
