(Unpublished manuscript written by John A. Ruhe and F. Byron Nahser.) This paper examines the link of global corruption to the cheating in academe. The problem, causes, and some solutions used in other academic environments are presented as well as sought from the audience. We propose that corruption is caused by both external and internal factors. We also will examine the role of some faculty in failing to stop cheating and the failure to practice integrity themselves that also contribute to the corruption problem.
