Abstract

Singular acts of academic corruption, such as cheating on an exam, occur in all institutions in all countries.Until recently, however, academic corruption that is systemic has been under-studied and under-theorized. This article focuses exclusively on monetary corruption.The authors focus on their forms and the individuals involved. The article investigates academic corruption in India.By way of a modified case study the authors analyze how corruptions functions at one private college in India.The purpose is neither to propose legislative efforts to stop such activities nor to suggest that the forms of corruption discussed are unique to India.Instead, the article utilizes a theory based on the idea of organizational culture to come to terms with what systemic corruption is and how those within the academy might best confront it.
