Abstract
The presentation will emphasize that fostering academic integrity among higher education students not only enhances their learning but also cultivates ethical behaviour in their professional lives. The speaker, a professor of Sustainability and Social Responsibility at the Universidad de Monterrey (UDEM), will share his experiences as a faculty member and as a former director of the Center of Academic Integrity at UDEM. He will argue that instead of adopting a punitive approach, higher education should design learning experiences and assessment tools that adapt to new technologies and ever-changing environmental situations. The presentation will underscore that addressing academic dishonesty—whether it involves plagiarism, identity fraud in distance education, contract cheating, or unauthorized AI use—requires establishing a culture of academic integrity through robust institutional programs aligned with international standards. Such programs not only resolve ethical dilemmas in education but also enhance ethical decision-making in broader contexts, extending into professional life. The speaker will support his claims on the results of his doctoral research that found that ethical behavior in the workplace can be predicted by a person's academic integrity as a student, their perception of their company's ethics program quality, and their rejection of dishonesty, combined with their years of professional experience.
