Abstract

This article focuses on the Governance Assurance Maturity for Academic Integrity (GAMAI), a maturity matrix designed to support higher education governing bodies in overseeing and assuring the effectiveness of institutional academic integrity strategies. GAMAI comprises four key dimensions—driving integrity, enabling a culture of integrity, responding to integrity threats, and evaluating and assuring institutional strategies—with detailed elements and associated metrics to assess maturity levels ranging from limited to comprehensive. The article emphasizes the critical role of governance bodies in managing risks related to academic dishonesty, proposing a nuanced scoring system and evidence-based evaluation to identify institutional strengths and weaknesses. It highlights the current gap in governance-focused academic integrity research and advocates for ongoing refinement and validation of GAMAI to enhance institutional oversight, including extending its remit to research integrity.
