Attending grade school and high school is mandated by U.S. law. While cheating in these environments is an unfortunate reality, such behavior in college is inexplicable. The idea that anyone would choose to pay thousands of dollars to get an education, only to attempt to cheat their way through classes, is demonstrative of a complete lack of respect for professors and anyone striving for a fair and honest education. .... Students who cheat need to realize that college is a choice and if they don't want to do their own work they shouldn't be here. Students should take accountability for their actions and fess up when they are overwhelmed instead of relying on someone else to do their work.... [for more see Orion staff editorial March 29, 2006]

Academic Integrity Defined
As a member of the Center for Academic Integrity(CAI), CSU Chico has adopted the definition of academic integrity from the CAI. Academic Integrity is "a commitment, even in the face of adversity, to five fundamental values: honesty, trust, fairness, respect, and responsibility. From these values flow principles of behavior that enable academic communities to translate ideas to actions"
