The article presents information on academic dishonesty in hospitality schools of the U.S. Academic dishonesty is viewed as the result of competition and conflict between competing values and desires. Attitudes about cheating have been examined by several researchers. Studies indicate that anywhere from 40 - 90% of all college students admit to cheating at least once during their academic careers. Numerous studies have attempted to identify the characteristics and circumstances that predispose some students to engage in dishonest behavior. There is no definitive profile of who is cheating and, depending on which study is used, it can be claimed that everyone is cheating. Methods of cheating are constantly evolving and becoming more and more sophisticated. Internet web- sites detailing how to cheat are appearing at alarming rates. Cyber-plagiarism is on the rise with 25% of students claiming to have cut and pasted material into a paper claiming it as their own work. Other factors that may introduce pressure to cheat, such as peer groups, financial aid/scholarship benefits, age, year in school, and grade point average should be examined to determine patterns in beliefs and activity in academic dishonesty. |
