  5. FOREIGN SCHOOLS

    Walden University - Not for real a foreign school, but we're going to pretend it is because it's an online school. Their most important values are honesty, trust, fairness, respect, and responsibility. We found it to be not specific and incomplete.

    University of Saskatchewan - This university was aimed only at students and was focused on cheating. There were specific statistics for the past 6 years on people that got in trouble for cheating and what happened to them. Their policies have broader goals than their initial statement, but are still focused on students.

    McMaster University - This university was also aimed at students but instead of being focused on cheating, it was more focused on the pursuit of knowledge and equal opportunity.
