Few responsibilities in higher education are as uncomfortable or consequential as confronting a student suspected of academic dishonesty. Faculty and administrators must guide conversations that strike a careful balance: upholding academic policy and supporting students.
Generative AI has only raised the stakes. Following the release of ChatGPT, concerns about academic integrity led to the rapid deployment of AI-detection tools. Yet these tools disproportionately flag the work of students with disabilities, non-native English speakers, and neurodivergent students.
Join us on Wednesday, June 10, at 2 p.m. ET, as administrators from Coastal Alabama Community College share what they’ve learned on the front lines.
You’ll gain insights on how to:
- Train instructors to lead difficult conversations with confidence and empathy.
- Spot misleading flags triggered by student accommodations and disabilities.
- Use exam insights to remove assumptions and bias from the integrity process.
- Protect your institution’s standards while supporting student success.
When you register, you’ll also receive the interactive resource “How to Talk to Students Suspected of Cheating.”
