This study reports on a survey of 1206 students and 190 academic staff across four major Queensland universities in relation to student academic misconduct. The aim of the survey was to determine the prevalence of academic misconduct, and to investigate the extent to which perceptions of dishonesty are shared between students and staff, as preliminary steps toward developing effective strategies to deal with the academic dishonesty/misconduct problem. Results indicate a higher tolerance for academic misconduct by students in comparison to staff, particularly with respect to falsification of research results and plagiarism, as well as considerable underestimation by staff of the prevalence of virtually all forms of student academic misconduct. Overall, the study’s findings confirm the significance of the issue of academic dishonesty within the Australian tertiary sector, indicating considerable divergence between students and staff in terms of perceptions of the seriousness and prevalence of student academic misconduct. We suggest that university administrators need to examine this issue closely in order to develop mechanisms for managing and curtailing the level of academic misconduct, since a failure to do so may lead to a further undermining of the academic integrity of the Australian tertiary sector.  \nIntroduction  \nOne of the key roles of institutions of higher education is to create an environment conducive to learning that will produce graduates who not only are highly skilled and technically competent, but also demonstrate high standards of honesty, ethical  \nThe Australian Educational Researcher, Volume 32, Number 3, December 2005 •19  \nMARK BRIMBLE AND PETA STEVENSON-CLARKE  \nresponsibility and commitment to serving their relevant profession and society well. Academic misconduct (student cheating) directly undermines this process and continues to put pressure on academics and institutions in terms of managing it. As discussed by Lupton, Chapman and Weiss (2000), student cheating presents two obvious problems at the institutional level. Firstly, it threatens the equity and efficacy of instructional measurement, so that students’ relative abilities are not accurately evaluated; and secondly, students who cheat probably reduce their level of learning so they are less prepared for advanced study or application of the material presented in a course. At the broader, societal level, it is likely that students who do not respect academic integrity while at university will not respect integrity in their future professional and personal relationships. An empirical study conducted by Nonis and Swift (2001) found a high correlation between the frequency of cheating at university/college and the frequency of cheating at work, suggesting that dishonest behaviour is not situation specific. The maintenance of academic integrity within educational institutions thus becomes a fundamental issue in terms of ensuring an environment where knowledge and understanding can be advanced and applied to the maximum benefit of individuals, the economy and society in general.  \nThere is a perception, however, that educational institutions may be fighting a losing battle against academic misconduct, given an environment of technological advancements that make it increasingly easier for students to access and misuse resources. When combined with generally increasing class sizes (and, indeed, general workload of academics) and a relative scarcity of funds, the difficulty of monitoring and addressing the problem at the individual student level assumes enormous proportions.
