Consider the following situation.
"Mike is a first year undergraduate studying Philosophy at university and his housemate, Jon, is a first year Nutrition student. As part of one of his courses, Jon needs to collect data on the eating habits of first year university students. To do this, he has asked Mike and nine of his other friends to keep a record of what they eat, and when, for a week.
Mike agrees to help, and keeps a fairly accurate record of what he has eaten. When the week is up Jon asks Mike to email him his data. However, when Mike is typing up his eating habits for the week, he realises that he hasn't eaten any vegetables at all. Not wanting to seem unhealthy, especially because he doesn't want Jon to judge him, he pretends that he made a pumpkin soup and adds that to his list. He also adds a couple of salads to some of his main meals and deletes one of the chocolate bars. Satisfied, he emails the list to Jon."

Can Jon get in trouble for academic misconduct?

• Yes, because he is putting Mike in an uncomfortable position by collecting data about his health and his eating habits.

• No, Mike is in a different field to Jon and therefore it doesn't matter.

• Yes, because he hasn't collected data from a random sample and instead used his friends

• No, though it will tarnish his results and not make them valid.
