Student Dishonesty and Faculty Responsibility
Parameswaran, Ashvin
Teaching in Higher Education, v12 n2 p263-274 Apr 2007
I ask the question, "Are faculty who allow dishonesty morally responsible for their students' actions?" By "allow" I mean ignoring dishonest actions or designing courses in ways that facilitate these actions. I answer this question via a discussion of four issues: normative expectations, doing versus allowing, unavoidable action, and consequentialism. I conclude that faculty who allow dishonesty are morally responsible for their students' actions; only the degree of moral responsibility varies from case to case.
