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).

Moon Wang
Academic Integrity
LiaisonAbout
I am an experienced professional in the Higher Education sector, with a strong background in student services. Over the years, I have worked in a variety of roles, including academic advising, admissions, and career advising. I joined KPU in 2022, initially serving in a student advising role. As the Academic Integrity Liaison, I support students, faculty, and the Dean’s office throughout the academic integrity breach process. My goal is to foster collaboration within the KPU community, promoting an educational approach to addressing issues related to academic integrity.
What interests you about your role?
Having transitioned from a student advising role, I have a deep understanding of the challenges students face, particularly when dealing with academic integrity issues. I am passionate about listening to students' perspectives, helping them learn about academic integrity, and collaborating with faculty and the Dean’s office to prevent breaches. What excites me most about this role is the opportunity to advocate for a positive, educative academic integrity culture at KPU. I am committed to supporting students through their challenges and contributing to initiatives and programs that promote academic integrity across the university.Susan Xia

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.
