Summary/Abstract: While previous research on the issue of academic corruption in Eastern European nations has dealt primarily with measuring the extent of corruption, examining the causes and effects of corruption, or gauging the costs of corruption, there is no systematic study of the anti-corruption initiatives launched recently in these nations. The main argument of this paper is that the anti-corruption efforts led by student organizations and NGOs are more vigorous than the actions taken by governments or higher education institutions. The paper categorizes and discusses the various anti-corruption programs that have been launched by NGOs and student organizations.
