Abstract
Academic integrity faces persistent challenges in Anambra State's tertiary institutions due to fraudulent behaviors among undergraduate students. This study addresses gaps in the literature by investigating lecturers' attitudes toward these fraudsters, recognizing the need for localized insights and informed interventions. Employing a survey research design, the study focuses on 20 lecturers. A validated questionnaire, utilizing a 4-point Likert scale, captures lecturers' perspectives. The study examines attitudes, motivations, and potential variations based on academic discipline, teaching experience, and institutional context. Preliminary findings indicate a nuanced spectrum of attitudes among lecturers, with male lecturers exhibiting slightly more positive attitudes than their female counterparts. Variability in attitudes is influenced by factors such as academic discipline and teaching experience. The study identifies inadequacies in existing interventions and highlights the role of lecturers in preventive strategies
