In this study, we analyzed the academic integrity policies of colleges in Ontario, Canada, casting a specific lens on contract cheating. We extracted data from 28 individual documents from 22-publicly-funded colleges including policies and procedures (n = 27) and code of conduct (n = 1). We analyzed the characteristics of the documents from three perspectives: (a) document type and titles; (b) policy language; and (c) policy principles. Then we examined five core elements of the documentation including (a) access; (b) approach; (c) responsibility; (d) detail; and (e) support. Key findings revealed that specific and direct language pertaining to contract cheating was largely absent from the policy documents, that underlying policy principles lacked clear definition, and that exemplary policy has yet to be developed in this context. We conclude with recommendations for increased policy research in the area of academic integrity and a call for policy revision in Canadian higher education institutions to more explicitly address the issue of contract cheating, as well as provide more support to students and other campus stakeholders to better understand how contract cheating impacts and impedes teaching and learning.

加拿大安大略省大学的学术诚信和合同作弊政策分析

在这项研究中,我们分析了加拿大安大略省各大学的学术诚信政策,为合同欺诈作了具体规定。我们从22所公立大学的28份独立文档中提取了数据,包括政策和程序(n = 27)和行为准则(n = 1)。我们从三个角度分析了文件的特征:(a)文件类型和标题;(b)政策语言;(c)政策原则。然后,我们检查了文档的五个核心要素,其中包括:(a)访问;(b)方法;(c)责任;(d)细节;和(e)支持。主要调查结果表明,政策文件中基本上没有与合同作弊有关的专门和直接的语言,基本的政策原则缺乏明确的定义,在这种情况下尚未制定示范性政策。
