Abstract

Universities around the world are reporting increases in academic misconduct during COVID-19. Canada is no exception. Third-party commercial enterprises offering academic file-sharing and unethical assistance disguised as “homework help” or “tutoring” have proliferated during the pandemic. These businesses comprise the global contract cheating industry, valued at $15 Billion USD. Eaton offers evidence-based insights into how the industry operates and concludes with a call to action for Canadian universities to take action against essay mills, assignment completion services, thesis-writing services and other forms of illicit academic outsourcing. Keywords: Academic integrity, academic misconduct, contract cheating, higher education, Canada

The University of Calgary, located in the heart of Southern Alberta, both acknowledges and pays tribute to the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, which include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). The City of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta (Districts 5 and 6).

The University of Calgary is situated on land Northwest of where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, a site traditionally known as Moh’kins’tsis to the Blackfoot, Wîchîspa to the Stoney Nakoda, and Guts’ists’i to the Tsuut’ina. On this land and in this place we strive to learn together, walk together, and grow together “in a good way.”
