Ethics
Week 2006
Thursday,
February 16 "Community Service: An Ethical
Imperative" The primary goal of ETHICS WEEK is to encourage the discussion of ethical matters in undergraduate and graduate classes in the University of Notre Dame's Mendoza College of Business. For faculty members who discuss these matters on a regular basis, the week will be a typical time. Faculty who rarely or never address ethics may utilize ETHICS WEEK as a means of facilitating discussion about ethical matters. A second goal of ETHICS WEEK is to establish a foundation for future ethical discussions in and out of the classroom. Once the area of ethics has been examined, students may want to pursue the area in papers, presentations or on-going class discussions. For more information contact Professor Ken Milani, Accountancy Department, Mendoza College of Business at Kenneth.W.Milani.1@nd.edu . |
