The Centre for Academic Integrity (1999) states in their policy document that universities and colleges gain when they ensure that they "have standards of integrity that provide the foundation for a vibrant academic life, promote scientific progress, and prepare students for responsible citizenship" (p. 4).

Note where the period at the end of the sentence is - after the citation (p. 4). Note how this quote is integrated into the sentence.

The original is:
"Higher Education and society benefit when colleges and universities have standards of integrity that provide the foundation for a vibrant academic life, promote scientific progress, and prepare students for responsible citizenship" (Centre for Academic Integrity, 1999, p. 4).

You could break up the quote and incorporate it into your paper like this:
When looking at academic integrity in the university setting it is important that the institution also has high "standards of integrity" that will lead to a "vibrant academic life, . . . scientific progress, and [will] prepare students for responsible citizenship" (The Centre for Academic Integrity, 1999, p. 4).

Note: The missing words between academic life and scientific progress are replaced with three dots. Note: The added word "will" is placed in square brackets.
