Abstract
In this brief overview, I introduce the Comprehensive Academic Integrity (CAI) framework. The CAI framework includes eight (8) overlapping and intertwined elements: (1) everyday ethics, (2) institutional ethics, (3) ethical leadership, (4) professional and collegial ethics; (5) instructional ethics, (6) student academic conduct, (7) research integrity and ethics, and (8) publication ethics. The central argument of this framework is that academic integrity must encompass, but extend beyond, notions of student conduct, and should be considered a foundation of all aspects of education.
