| Summary: | One of the fundamental roles of higher education is to provide not only a scholarly environment in which to learn, but one which will nurture graduates who are honest, have high standards of ethical responsibility in both their personal and professional lives, and who are committed to bettering their community, society and the world (Brimble & Stevenson-Clarke 2005, p.19). The educational institution itself should reflect and uphold these values in its governance and management practices, and in an accountability framework that binds individual behavior, whether staff or students. Whilst some, especially in the West, might argue that universities and schools should be 'value free zones, most would hold that they should be unambiguous in advocating a set of values which are encompassed in the term' academic integrity'(Paul Johnson, Vice Chancellor UWA).
