It is the continuous reports of unethical behavior in the form of data
manipulation, cheating, plagiarism, and other forms of unacceptable
behavior that draw attention to the issues of misconduct. The causes
of misconduct are manifold whether it is the need to advance in a
chosen discipline or to compete successfully for and obtain research
funding. Disappointingly, individuals who are oriented to any form
of dishonesty are individuals who had previously displayed little or
no consideration for the feelings of others and are therefore more
interested in themselves, at the expense of the students, and others
recognizing them by any means necessary. This ground-breaking and
honest examination of ethics in the university setting is unabashed in
its descriptions of misconduct in the academic world. The text is
well furbished with numerous citations that point to academic
misconduct and the final chapter deals with the means by which
misconduct can be mitigated, a strong reminder to everyone in the
academic community that above board conduct must be part of our
overall message of learning and part of the whole point of education
in the first place. A must-have for academics and non-academics alike,
this text is the second in a series of books on ethics by James G.
Speight, and it is useful to anyone, in any industry, who is
interested in ethical behavior and how to navigate the sometimes murky
depths of our professional lives.
