Abstract


Academic dishonesty remains a serious moral problem in higher education. This study compares Immanuel Kant's deontological ethics and John Stuart Mill's utilitarianism in assessing academic dishonesty among university students, including cheating, plagiarism, the use of ghostwriting services, and the dishonest use of artificial intelligence. Using a literature review with comparative analysis, the study examines primary works of both philosophers alongside supporting ethical literature. The findings show that both theories judge academic dishonesty as morally unjustifiable, yet on different grounds. Kant evaluates it through the motive and the impossibility of universalizing its maxim, while Mill evaluates its consequences for trust, fairness, and educational quality. The two theories are complementary: deontology emphasizes integrity and personal dignity, whereas utilitarianism clarifies social impact. Effective character education should therefore integrate both perspectives, supported by virtue ethics.
