“…The purpose of allowing academic misconduct to figure in admission decisions depends on a belief that an individual who is prepared to cheat in one institutional context is lacking in what some call "moral fibre" and will likely be inclined to do so in another (Corbin & Carter, 2007;Thomas, 2013). Legal academics who have studied the issue in Canada, Australia, and the United States have noted that there is no evidence of a correlation between past disclosed misconduct as a student and future conduct as a lawyer (Rhode, 1985;Thomas, 2013;Woolley, 2007). However, studies in other disciplines such as business, nursing and engineering do at least suggest there is a correlation, if not a causal link, between academic misconduct and workplace dishonesty, even if concerns about methodological flaws have been raised about these studies (Furutan, 2018;Harding et al, 2004;Hilbert, 1985;LaDuke, 2013;Miron, 2021;Nonis & Swift, 2001).…”
