UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Penn State has named Andrew Peck as the first assistant dean for academic integrity. This newly established position within the Office of Undergraduate Education will provide University-wide leadership on one of higher education’s most pressing challenges.
Peck will lead Penn State’s Academic Integrity Responsibilities Office, known as AIRO, and serve as the principal authority on academic integrity policy, adjudication and education across all the University’s campuses and colleges. He will report to Jeff Adams, senior associate vice provost and senior associate dean for Undergraduate Education.
“Academic integrity is foundational to the value of a Penn State degree,” said Fotis Sotiropoulos, executive vice president and provost. “Having Andrew in this position ensures we have dedicated, expert leadership to uphold those standards consistently and equitably across every campus. The work that our faculty, staff and administrators do around academic integrity often goes unnoticed but is crucial to our long-term success and reputation.”
As assistant dean, Peck will oversee the development and revision of University-wide academic integrity policies and procedures and lead outreach and training initiatives for faculty, staff and students. He will also manage AIRO’s Digital Academic Integrity System, known as DAISY, which tracks and manages claims across the University.
