Academic Corruption: The Continuing Challenge

Abstract

international issues grams or services offered and the local presence (and investment) by the foreign provider. Credits and qualifications are awarded by the foreign provider (through foreign, local, or self-accreditation methods) or by an affiliated domestic partner or jointly. The key question remains who monitors and recognizes the "legitimacy" and "recognition" of the qualification for future study and employment purposes. The forms of cross-border provider mobility include branch campuses, merger with or acquisition of domestic providers, independent institutions , study and support centers, virtual delivery, plus other types of innovative affiliations. A distinguishing feature between program and provider mobility is that with provider mobility the learner is not necessarily located in a different country than the awarding institution as is the case with program mobility; and this raises other issues and challenges.
