Council on Academic Integrity (CAI)
The Council on Academic Integrity (CAI) was established in 2006 by AUC's Provost Sullivan. Originally formed as an ad-hoc committee in 2002, the Task Force on Academic Integrity was transformed into the Council on Academic Integrity and reports directly to the Provost.
The purpose of the CAI is to monitor and enhance awareness of academic integrity in the academic community among students, faculty and staff. Since enhancing awareness of academic integrity is an ongoing concern, it meets regularly to discuss issues of importance to the AUC community. It liaises with other university bodies in order to continuously keep the issue of academic integrity in the public arena. These include (but are not limited to) the Freshman Year Experience, the New Faculty Orientation Program, the Student Union, and the Academic Integrity Committee, the latter being the judicial body that deals with student violations of academic integrity.
In addition, the CAI liaises with the Center for Academic Integrity at Clemson University (formerly at Duke) and the current chair of AUC's CAI, Dr. Mohamed Nagib Abou Zeid is the only international member on the board of the Center for Academic Integrity at Clemson. The CAI also intends to provide resources and a forum for other universities in the region and is organizing a conference in April of 2009 for administrators of regional universities (Arab, European, and Mediterranean) on the subject of academic integrity. Please check our Announcements page for any upcoming events.
