The Academic Integrity Rating System (AIRS): an introduction

The Academic Integrity Rating System (AIRS) is modeled after the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE) Sustainability Tracking, Assessment & Rating System (STARS). The purpose of AIRS is to: - identify benchmarks for institutionalizing academic integrity in schools, colleges, and universities and reward campuses for their efforts to curb cheating and empower academic integrity - allow colleges and universities to quickly compare themselves to their peer institutions - publicize for interested stakeholders the efforts of campuses to curb cheating and empower academic integrity - stimulate and provide data for the international conversation on academic integrity.
