We analyzed academic integrity policy documents from publicly-funded universities in Atlantic Canada (N = 13). We analyzed a total of 28 documents through the framework of the core elements of academic integrity policy: a) access, b) approach, c) responsibility, d) detail, and e) support (Bretag et al., 2011b), using an anti-racist theoretical lens. We found that academic integrity policies continue to focus on outdated and punitive approaches that enable the continuation of systemic discrimination of marginalized students. We conclude with a call to action for policy revision conducted through an anti-racism lens that focuses on equitable approaches to address student conduct violations.
