Abstract	This study examined teaching assistants' (TAs) preparation for, attitudes towards, and experiences with academic dishonesty at a public research university. Of 470 TAs, 184 (39%) completed the survey instrument. The major findings of the study were: (a) TAs were more satisfied with their informal than their formal preparation for dealing with academic dishonesty of their students, (b) over 90% of TAs received some form of formal training dealing with academic integrity, (c) a large percentage of TAs have failed to address cheating incidents, and (d) TAs displayed conflicting attitudes towards issues of academic dishonesty. Recommendations for improved practice and further research are provided. (As Provided).
