Honesty over detection
The purpose is honest academic work, not a technological arms race between tools and detectors.
Principles
Standards that remain steady while tools evolve.
Academic-integrity policy should be clear enough to guide people before it is used to judge them.
Rules before punishment
People should know what is permitted, restricted, or prohibited before consequences are imposed.
Human judgment matters
Technology may inform decisions, but fair review requires context and responsible human judgment.
Progress is not misconduct
Appropriate use of a modern tool is not cheating. Misrepresentation and rule-breaking are.
Disclosure should be usable
When disclosure is required, institutions should make the expectation specific and practical.
Capacity should serve learning
Computing resources can support legitimate education and research when responsibility and oversight are clear.
Integrity is not resistance to change. It is honesty within change.
