title: Academic dishonesty and unprofessional behavior.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate differences in radiologic science student and faculty perceptions of academic dishonesty and unprofessional behavior.
  
  
  METHODS
  Radiologic science faculty and students were questioned about their perceptions of academic dishonesty and unprofessional behavior using ethical scenarios in an electronic survey format.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Significant differences occurred between faculty and student values regarding the seriousness of cheating and unprofessional behaviors. Faculty viewed cheating and unprofessional behaviors as more serious than students. Faculty and student self-reports of cheating behavior demonstrated no significant differences; however, significant differences existed in self-reported incidences of unprofessional behavior.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Faculty and students differed in their values and participation related to cheating and unprofessional behaviors. Efforts should be directed toward bridging the gap between faculty and student perceptions.
