About Us
At KPU, the Academic Integrity Unit is housed in the Office of the Provost, but each Faculty also plays an important role.
- The role of the Academic Integrity Unit includes developing resources to support students and faculty around academic integrity, advising and offering consultations on misconduct cases, and providing leadership on the academic integrity strategy at KPU.
- Each Faculty's Dean's Office manages academic misconduct cases and administers KPU's Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure (ST2).

Manager of Academic Integrity
(currently away)About
I have worked at KPU since 2016 in various roles. I have a BA in Cultural Anthropology, a Certificate in Teaching English as a Second Language, and I am currently working on my Masters in Educational Studies in Higher Education. My role is to provide leadership, advice, strategic direction and planning, and to oversee academic integrity support at KPU.
What interests you about your role?
I am especially interested in learning about Indigenous perspectives and ways to decolonize our approaches to academic integrity. I believe in approaching academic integrity from a balanced and holistic perspective, recognizing academic integrity as a shared responsibility that needs to be addressed both systemically and through immediate and shorter-term improvements. I love working collaboratively to support students, faculty, and staff at KPU.
