The difference between not cheating and academic integrity

As others have already stated, cheating is not all that prevalent at CU, a fact I take pride in as a student here. However, I would like to observe the differences between not cheating and academic integrity itself.

Academic integrity definitely includes not cheating, but it encompasses for more than just that. One of the greatest realms that I believe students everywhere neglect is the aspect of accountability. Many bring up and some even enforce (like Doc Carroll) the aspect of holding one another accountable, for instance, students chatting online or using facebook during class. If one student observes another doing such things, but does nothing, they are not exemplifying integrity. Academically, the student that notices such a thing does no wrong by ignoring it, but in terms of academic integrity, the student is failing to bring to light an instance where another student is both ignoring a specified rule by almost all professors and being utterly disrespectful to that professor and the surrounding students. Both students fall short of academic integrity, the one that was on facebook and the one that noticed. They are both accountable.
