The Auburn Creed and Academic Honesty
I have participated on the academic honesty committee over the past couple of years, and we have seen an upward trend in academic honesty violations across campus. Sometimes these violations occur because of a lack of transparency or clarity regarding assignment instructions, but often they are the result of what I would call the perfect storm of circumstances: Opportunity, Pressure, and Rationalization. Accountants would relate this to "the fraud triangle".

The Auburn Creed and Academic Honesty
1 The Auburn University’s Academic Honesty Code aligns with the Auburn creed in that they both emphasize on honesty. It is a violation of the Academic Honesty Code if a student submits papers that they did not work on while the creed stresses hard work. The creed asserts the belief in honesty and truthfulness while the code prohibits dishonest behaviors (Auburn University).
2 The threat triangle explains the conditions that may make a student engage in academic dishonesty. The pressure to pass exams, the opportunity to be dishonest, and the ability to rationalize dishonesty describe the threats to academic integrity.
3 Pursuing academics with integrity means demonstrating honesty in all academic undertakings. It means adhering to the university’s honesty code and submitting one’s own original academic papers. It also means that giving credit to other authors when their information is used in writing papers.
