Academic Dishonesty
Definition: Academic dishonesty is the intentional misrepresentation of all or part of
one’s work to deceive for personal gain or assisting another to do the same. Academic
dishonesty includes, but is not limited to, cheating, plagiarism, fabrication, and
submission of work, all or any part of which was developed in response to the
assignment of another teacher or was created by a person other than the student
submitting the assignment. The university community views academic dishonesty as a serious
academic offense and a failure of character and personal integrity. Due to the academic nature of
the offense, the Faculty is responsible for determining an appropriate response. Repeated
violations or a flagrant violation of this policy can result in the student being permanently
removed from the work scholarship program causing them to forfeit their ability to continue as
a student at the university.

Pretty serious consequence, you think? Why can you be asked to leave the university for copying another person’s
work? Here is what the Bible says…

I Cor. 6:10 …nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

Ephesians 4:28 Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work, doing something useful with
their own hands, that they may have something to share with those in need.

Leviticus 19:11 “ ‘Do not steal. “ ‘Do not lie. “ ‘Do not deceive one another.

Prov. 10:2 Ill-gotten treasures have no lasting value, but righteousness delivers from death.

Romans 13:7 Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if
respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.
