Which is why, last semester, Washington University in St. Louis sent each of its undergraduates a cautionary letter about 'academic integrity.' Around the same time, St. Louis University and the University of Missouri at Columbia held polite panel discussions under the same heading. Across the country hundreds of colleges have seized on this lofty-sounding term in an attempt to rally students and faculty members in a movement against rampant student cheating. The drive has gained urgency with the arrival on campus of a generation of students who grew up in a wired, facts-at-your-fingertips world. Research is quicker and easier than ever. So is cheating."
