9781035320233: Handbook on Corruption in Higher Education

Synopsis

This insightful Handbook provides an overview of corruption within the context of higher education. Through a variety of international case studies, theoretical frameworks and methodologies, it examines the underlying issues involved in corruption as well as the damaging impact on scholarly cultures and the academic enterprise.



Leading and emerging global experts discuss how the success of universities is particularly dependent on an honest community of scholars and students, as well as on a research culture based on the tradition of peer review and open analysis. They identify the ways in which corruption can enter academia through direct and indirect student involvement and in monetary or non-monetary forms, including cheating in exams, plagiarism, academic promotions, student admissions and financial crimes. The Handbook further investigates the reputational damage and distrust in higher education that these incidents can create among wider society.



Scholars and students of education policy, academic integrity, corruption studies and sociology will greatly benefit from this informative Handbook. Timely and engaging, it is also an essential resource for policymakers and practitioners in university management and higher education.
