Conflict of Interest
Each member of the university
community is responsible for acting in an ethical and
professional manner. This responsibility includes
avoiding conflict of interest, conducting instruction in
an ethical manner and protecting the rights of all
individuals. All members of the university community-
including members of the university's faculty,
administration, student body and staff should conduct
themselves with the greatest professional objectivity.
Academic Integrity Academic integrity is of central
importance in the university community and involves
committed allegiance to the values, the principles and
the code of behavior held to be central in that
community. The core of a University's integrity is
scholastic honesty. Academic dishonesty is a serious
offense that can diminish the quality of scholarship,
the academic environment, the academic reputation and
the quality of a International Lordland University degree.
All forms of academic dishonesty at International Lordland University are a violation of university policy and will
be considered a serious offense.

to follow the policy. • For Students:
