Questions:

1. How can universities effectively foster a culture of academic integrity and empower students to take a proactive role in promoting and upholding ethical conduct through student-led initiatives?
2. What are the long-term impacts and benefits of student participation in academic integrity processes, not only in terms of reducing breaches but also in fostering personal development, community engagement, and a sense of responsibility within the student body?
3. In the context of student-led academic integrity initiatives, how can universities effectively measure and evaluate the success of these interventions to determine their effectiveness in improving academic integrity outcomes and creating a positive impact on campus culture? How will we know if RAIM has been successful and who measures that?
