Recommended: Communication technology in our world

In the recent advancements of modern communication and technology, people have also gained the ability to spread their own thoughts and unsourced information to a larger audience quicker than ever before. Accordingly, this has allowed people to share syndicate information without any research or backing and with no fear of being silenced or reprimanded. Situations like this have led to lives ruined, careers ended, and colleges losing integrity due to no limitation at all. I propose that LaGrange College approve of the policies I have derived in order to maintain and withhold the integrity that the institution has earned for itself throughout its years.

  • Why Do You Think They Re Called For-Profit Colleges Kevin Carey Summary

    1122 Words  | 3 Pages

    Colleges and community colleges have their share of faults, and these three writers express what should be done to repair the broken system; if Carey were to attempt upholding his view that for-profits have their place in education, the result would be complete annihilation. Yes, for-profits benefit those who reap gains from the system, but Hacker and Dreifus and Addison would tear apart this view with the true meaning of education. Educated graduates with jobs that help create a better society are essential to the function of societies all over the world; therefore, colleges exist for the purpose of producing these graduates capable of making a difference. Students need education—students are the purpose of education. Although Carey’s claim—the government should not interfere with the success of for-profit owners—has integrity, Hacker, Dreifus, and Addison all believe that it is not in the right place. In their view, for-profits have no value to anyone but the owners. In sum, Carey would be shut down with the reality that an education system with the central purpose of earning profit does not value providing an education that benefits both students and society—the main focus is money. In turn, what is available could hardly be considered an education, according to Hacker, Dreifus, and Addison. However, the marketing scheme of for-profits still successfully entices people to enroll by offering accessibility with quick and easy degrees, which would infuriate Ungar and

  • Board Of Education V. Foster Case Study

    1133 Words  | 3 Pages

    Fraser (1986). During a student assembly, Senior, Matthew Fraser gave a campaign speech to elect his friend to student government. Fraser’s speech was rife with sexual innuendo. Consequently he was suspended and his name removed from the list of possible graduation speakers—he was second in his class at the time. In this case, the Court established that there is a monumental difference between the First Amendment protection of expression for “dealing with a major issue of public policy and the lewdness of Fraser’s speech” (“Key Supreme Court Cases,” 2015). Comparatively, Foster’s high school points out that there is a monumental difference between Foster’s desire to express his individuality and impress girls, and the school’s desire to regulate the serious public concern of gang activity within the school. Indeed, in the petitioner’s application of Tinkering and Chalifoux court cases, the defense notes, in both First Amendment cases the students were addressing a major public issue—political and religion statements. Foster’s message of individuality, however, decidedly lacked a message that would safeguard his First Amendment

    Why are many young Americans so uncomfortable with liberal arts? And why are many high school graduates shying away from this particular form of education? Just like anything else that is popular, once the liberal arts has been accurately, or inaccurately, discredited, the aftermath inevitably spreads. As more and more information is being mistakenly spread, numerous liberal arts colleges are taking the fall. To combat this, university officers are speaking out to discredit the invalid claims.

  • Honor Codes

    However, this may stem from a lack of enforcement of the rules. Even at the most prestigious schools, such as Harvard University, students are not upholding the rules implemented: “The possibility that 125 Harvard students ‘improperly collaborated’ on an exam in the spring has galvanized … discussion about … honor codes” (Source: C). In this case, people may argue that the only party at fault consists of the students. However, the faculty may be partially guilty as well, as their lack of care towards the rules has created a situation that jeopardizes the school’s integrity. Revision may then seem like the least of the school’s priorities, as they must show they seriously consider educational integrity. Likewise, at the University of Virginia, “157 students have been investigated by their peers in the largest cheating scandal in memory” (Source: D). Again, the school and all those who work there hold at least part of the fault for this ignorance because, theoretically, they should preserve and enforce the rules provided. The fact that the scandal exists means that they were not doing their jobs to their fullest. Although revision may seem simpler to carry out, the school’s staff must show an attempt at intervention within the student lives to keep them on a path towards

    In conclusion, the issue of academic integrity does not only affect an individual, but also an institution. Therefore, it is the duty of students and schools to ensure that ethical principles are upheld all the time. Moreover, institutions of higher learning should deal with all reported cases of academic dishonestly severely to deter others. In addition, a culture of academic integrity should be promoted. For students, it is even more important because it helps them to avoid losing a potential career due to misconduct. Moreover, upholding the values of ethics and integrity provides them with intrinsic

  • Athletics Vs. Academics

    The issues and infractions mentioned above are examples of what is and has occurred at universities nationwide. This is not an isolated problem. As these corrupt acts of academic fraudulence and plagiarism continue to reoccur, it is slowing chipping away at the prestige and respect that make these educational establishments what they are suppose to be, institutions of the highest learning. By treating academics as a secondary concern to the athletic primacy, universities cannot fully accomplish their sole purpose. These acts of immoral and unethical procedures do not permit the schools from maintaining unblemished academic environments. Although part of the universities' goals are to create well rounded students, this objective should not come at the expense of academics, corruption, or unethical behavior.

    301). I consider that this code enforced the importance of how people use the information to others, intellectually speaking. For instance, the moral obligation that students have is critical in their education. We always hear and see that educational institutes have strict codes of ethics regarding on how students use others people ideas or work. The word plagiarism has become a symbol for many students, and it is usually relating to unethical behaviors that a student can demonstrate. For instance, Excelsior College has a policy that established what a student should not do such as “Copy words, phrases, sentences, assignments, exams, graphics, or images from a message posted in an Excelsior College electronic course, chat, or discussion area and make this information available outside the electronic environment in which it appeared without the author’s written permission” (Excelsior College, 2016). Along with this policy, Excelsior College has a list of disciplinary actions in the event of a student commit this unethical conduct. One of this disciplinary actions is “Bar the student from enrolling in the College or registering for a course or examination” (Electronic Use Policy, 2016). Individuals (professionals) and organization have a really hard time to build their ideas or education, so it is extremely important that institutes and organization promote a good
