dc.description.abstractContract cheating (i.e., outsourcing of academic work) poses a threat to the integrity of credentials awarded by institutions. The global contract cheating industry is estimated to be valued at $15 Billion USD. If students have outsourced academic work to a third party (e.g., term paper mill, assignment completion services, or thesis-writing services) the integrity of the credentials they are awarded becomes questionable. In this presentation we share findings from our analysis of academic integrity policies of 13 publicly-funded universities in New Brunswick (n = 3), Nova Scotia (n = 8), Prince Edward Island (n = 1), and Newfoundland (n = 1). We pay particular attention to the ways in which contract cheating is addressed through policy documents. We conclude with concrete recommendations for policy reform.
