Reported Frequency of Academic Dishonesty

The survey asked several schools, "How often does a case involving academic dishonesty come to the attention of your disciplinary process?" Here are their responses:

Honor Code Schools  Ratio of Cases Per Students Annapolis  1:218 Dartmouth  1:342 Hamilton  1:107 Haverford  1:119 Mount Holyoke  1:209 Stanford  1:505 Virginia **  1:314 West Point  1:197 Wellesley **  1:288 William and Mary **  1:46

Non-Honor Code Schools  Ratio of Cases Per Students Columbia  1:192 Cooper Union  1:917 Cornell **  1:5733 HARVARD  1:163 Michigan  1:338

** Figures reported as the annual caseload of the honor court, which also treats social misconduct. They therefore may include both social and academic cases.
